Food Review: Uramaki Sushi

Food Review: Glass Orchid
Wed 20 Dec 2023There's a new(ish) kid in town; Glass Orchid opened their doors in Beeston this September and are proving hugely popular with tapas and cocktail enthusiasts. All traces of the previous Ottimo premises are nowhere to be found, and the new look is modern, moody, and sophisticated - much akin to many contemporary bars you may find yourself falling into when in Manchester...
Food Review: Pizzamisú
Sat 02 Dec 2023When asked the much-anticipated question of ‘Now,what would you like to have for dinner?’ after a long day, the answer is a no-brainer. From a quick meal out of the freezer, to a big family take-out to watch the soaps, or a romantic date night plan, pizza is the fan-favourite go-to for most of us.

Food Review: Pizza Pilgrims
Sat 05 Aug 2023Even though Oscar & Rosie’s is no more (Rest in Peace), the Lace Market and Hockley area of Nottingham has no shortage of pizza joints. From Pizza Punks to Pizzamisú, we are spoilt for choice - and the latest kid on the block is Pizza Pilgrims, situated on Carlton Street opposite Pho. An established chain down in the South, I had to check it out for myself to see what the hype was all about.

Food Review: Boulangerie de Saigon
Mon 24 Jul 2023In true Gen-Z style, I have an issue with buying too many coffees. Good day, bad day, boring day: It’s always the perfect time for a coffee. And, while this habit isn’t great for my finances, it is good for my happiness. Which, of course, is why I was so excited to see Boulangerie de Saigon open ten seconds away from the LeftLion office. Plus, why I dragged our Editor along to try it, mere days after the business had opened...
