Attend : 'Fish & Chips', Prague

Fish and Chips, 21 Dlouha Street, Prague

 After a long weekend break in Prague, I stumbled upon a restaurant that was a pure case of right time, right place - there was nothing I fancied more on that Sunday afternoon than a good old English Fish & Chips.

 Quintessentially British in design, a rarity in the gothic architecture of Prague, this simple, stylish and modern Fish & Chip shop was both a 'take away' and a sit down restaurant.
 The simple design was paired with a simple menu, made modern with the additional serving of mini bottles of Veuve Clicquot.  

 The cod was perfect in beer batter, the chips were just the right 'chippy' chips - Gourmet Fish & Chips! The interiors had quirky takes on all things traditionally fish and chips - newspaper wallpaper, red phone boxes, soho writing and quirky 'Save Water - Drink Champagne' slogans.

 The dining area was reminiscent of London tube tiles with 60's pop art and an opulent glass chandelier centre piece. The swinging glass doors opened directly onto the street, ready for some people watching...

Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium

Cat Cafe coming to London

Slightly off topic for this blog, but something I just had to share : Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium is coming to London!

 I've seen the concept before on many of those 'look at how wacky the Japanese are' programs, and with the current trend of cats being the new cultural phenomenon - just look on every social media site out there (youtube videos, instagram posts, tumblr blogs etc) this was sure to happen in London soon.

  Lauren Pears' cafe concept is simple: Too many people in London don't have the space, time or financial commitment to give a cat a home, and therefore miss out on the pleasure of keeping a cat.

 The Cat Emporium will take rescue cats from 'Mayhew Animal Home' and provide them a safe, comfortable home. In turn humans can visit the cafe and pet the cats whilst having some tea. Vouchers can be purchased on her Shopify page.

 The project has been funded by crowd funding website indiegogo, raising £110,000 to enable the project start up.
 Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium is going to be located in Old Street area of London's East End - and I can't wait to visit!
