As I stated in a past post I wanted to put some effort in
writing a detailed account of our recent Europe
holiday.
We arrived to a gloomy and rainy London on the 29th August roughly
around 1pm. We were lucky to have some close friends living in London at the time and really looked after us
while we were there. We spent majority of our time in London hanging out with
the recently engaged E & S. So within hours of landing we were meeting up
with this lovely couple.
The first night we had dinner at Dehesa. A Spanish and
Italian inspired charcuterie and tapas bar.
The restaurant itself is relatively small and has a cosy atmosphere to it. We were the loudest one’s there – what do you expect having pre dinner drinks and over 12 months of catching up to do. We ordered many dishes each one was deliciously made.

Afterwards we headed over to the china town side of town,
which is actually close to the theatre district. We walked over to this
building that seemed unusd and no indication that it was even open / functioning. At the
door stood a girl with a clip board. E has our names on the guest list so we
could get in. We had arrived at ECC – Experimental Cocktail Club. Upstairs was
a 2 level bar serving a range uniquely inspired cocktails. We got our allocated
table which we reserved and enjoyed a few more drinks, laughs, shouted at each other over the loud rnb music. If you’re
looking for a trendy under ground place to have a few cocktails ECC is where to go.
In London to avoid the disappointment
of being turned away at a decent restaurant, club or bar you have to book in
advance. Don’t get me wrong we book tables in advance
in Sydney too but it just seems very
common even for lunch time meals.
Dehesa and ECC was a great way to start our first day (night) in London and got us very
excited for what’s install for the rest of the leg …
