Our girl Hannah Tan-Gillies, Pho-connoisseur, and Vietnamese food super fan, sampled PHOMO, London’s most authentic Vietnamese meal kit.
Growing up in an Asian household, food was everything. Food brought people together, food was the source of pride and joy, and sometimes even the occasional loving bickering too.
So, when given the opportunity to try PHOMO, a solo venture, born out of lockdown, by female entrepreneur Daniya Stewart, I jumped at the chance.
Daniya spent 16 years working in London and fell in love with Phở Bo Tái, a classic Vietnamese noodle dish with aromatic bone broth and rice noodles. During lockdown, she couldn’t gain access to her favourite noodle dish, and from that the idea for PHOMO was born.
Eating a PHO in a MO, in the comfort of your own home — genius. Her mission is that you shouldn’t have to live in a big city to eat wonderfully diverse and delicious food – and we couldn’t agree more.
Now to the Pho. PHOMO’s Pho Kits are freshly made with premium ingredients and can be prepared as quickly as ten minutes. We had the beef pho and the prawn pho for two. The kits are delivered every Friday and arrive in a tightly sealed cool box, maintaining its freshness.
The Beef Pho Broth is the undeniable star of the show and offers all the complex aromas and flavours of a traditional Pho broth. PHOMO’s version was brewed for eight hours and is the perfect base for the gluten-free rice noodles. The Beef Pho kit also comes with 28-day rare grass fed dry-aged steak, which is both tender and flavourful.
The Shrimp Pho Kit or Phở tôm could be made with the chicken pho broth or vegan pho broth. (Ours was chicken and was brewed for five hours with fresh herbs) It also comes with a healthy serving of King Prawns and gluten free rice noodles.
Both kits come with all the necessary pho toppings including spring onions, limes, birds eye chilli, coriander, and Thai basil.
So, what’s the verdict? It took me about ten minutes to cook and assemble both Phòs, effortless, yet certainly packs the flavour punch. PHOMO is the perfect meal for a Friday night in, or to drive away any hangovers or Monday blues. So, if you’re’ looking to elevate you
Endless lockdown iterations have hit London restaurants hard and with the restrictions finally easing and us on our way towards freedom, plenty of our favourite London spots are finally opening their doors once again. To help these creative and truly special foodie spots keep their doors open, we’re giving you the lowdown on exactly which London restaurants are reopening this summer – so you can get to booking ASAP.
The Italian Greyhound is a latest entry to Marylebone’s restaurant scene and the new passion project from acclaimed restauranteurs Barry Hirst, Marcello, and Gabriel Bernardi. This casual spot is a relaxed take on elevated Italian dining and offers impeccable all-day dining in a super relaxed Italian ‘bacaro’ (which means bar in Italian) atmosphere. We recommend the Panelle, Sicilian chickpea fritters or the John Dory with Italian spinach.
This intimate neighbourhood restaurant is being classic and delicious Italian food to the heart of Fitzrovia. The Fitzrovia spot is led by the same eponymous duo behind this Brighton favourite and offers plenty of al fresco seating to maximise the (likely) brief but very glorious British summertime.

Wine lovers will also have plenty to explore with Cin Cin’s extensive wine list.
This Japanese Izakaya favourite is once again opening its doors and we can’t wait to check it out. The restaurant duo in Oxford Circus and Covent Garden offer an amazing Japanese-inspired brunch perfect for those looking to take their brunch game to the next level.

Foodies will enjoy Sexy Fish’s impeccable menu of sushi platters, skewers and signature dishes including the Sexy Fruits de Mer platter, Japanese Wagyu Beef with King Crab, and the Indulgent Dessert Platter. The restaurant is also debuting a new underwater inspired hand-etched artwork from Paul Clifford to really immerse you in a decadent aquatic culinary experience.
Heddon Yokocho takes you back to the dimly lit alleyways of Showa era japan and has a vibrant street food inspired menu that will surely impress.

From the minds of Notting Hill’s iconic Globe nightclub, the Secret Sandwich Shop, which recently opened on 20 May, is the perfect spot in town to get your sandwich fix. The sandwiches are based on the Japanese culinary concept of ‘Wanpaku Sando’ which means cheeky or naughty and are piled high and masterfully layered. Perfect to satiate all those lunchtime cravings.
Culinary superstar chef Nico Simeone is opening a second location to his much loved Six by Nico restaurant brand in Canary Wharf this August. Six by Nico offers a fresh and accessible dining experience with truly tantalising six-course seasonal tasting menus inspired from the chef’s memories, films, locations, and even philosophical concepts. It’s a ride – and we can’t wait to visit.
Good health and wellbeing start with your gut so it seems only natural that Knightsbridge wellness and beauty destination, Urban Retreat, is the location for a brand new innovative plant based restaurant.

Gin lovers rejoice because OXO Restaurant — one of London’s swankiest rooftop venues — has teamed up with The Botanist Gin to bring the flavours of Islay to its stunning terrace.
Our #TeamCoco reporter Hannah Tan-Gillies braved the bipolar London weather to experience the four-course gin tasting menu first-hand for an evening that would delight even the most discerning cocktail-enthusiast
Whether its rain, sleet, snow, or shine – there’s certainly nothing better than enjoying a bespoke cocktail and food menu, especially when it’s made by the talented minds at OXO Restaurant.
The four-course gin-themed menu takes inspiration from the 22 foraged botanicals that give The Botanist Gin its unique flavours; and the way that this is creatively interpreted in the menu is impressive to say the least.
We start by sipping on a fresh ‘Islay Breeze,’ which features delicate flavours of lemon balm, lime juice and Elderflower tonic. This fresh cocktail was paired with the mouth-watering Scottish scallops with gruyere mash, morels, and wild garlic. OXO restaurant were kind enough to accommodate my dairy/egg free dietary requirements and adapted the menu to suit my needs, which in my books, displays excellent customer service.
Afterwards, we sampled the ‘Scottish,’ a lemon-zest infused gin concoction further enhanced by a dash of OXO Champagne. This elegant cocktail was paired with the Wild Bass, English squid primavera, which was served over some light tomato and lemongrass broth and ink pasta. The dish offered delicate flavours and wonderful seaside aromas, reminiscent of the coastal sea sprays of Islay.
We followed with the ‘Gin Thyme,’ a powerful cocktail that combined Cocchi Americano, thyme-infused The Botanist Gin and a dash of orange bitters. The Gin Thyme certainly packs a punch and is not for the light-hearted, but ideal for those looking who enjoy their cocktails with a bit more kick. The Gin Thyme pairs perfectly well with the Dry Aged Beef Fillet, cooked to tender perfection, and complemented with cauliflower purée and truffle gnocchi.
Finally, we finished with ‘The Unusual Suspects,’ a freshly squeezed blood orange cocktail with White Crème de Cacao. It is the ideal partner to the Blueberry Almond vegan cake and almond ice cream, which perfectly bookended our meal with just the right amount of sweetness.
Beyond the menu, there is plenty to love at OXO Restaurant, which offers unbeatable views of the River Thames and St Paul’s no matter what the weather. We will certainly be returning.
To find out more or to book the Botanist menu (up to 48 hours in advance) please call our reservations team on 0207 803 3888.
Fitzrovia has always been a hotspot for food lovers, and Flower Burger, which has recently opened their outside dining area — is taking the Fitzrovia foodie scene up a notch with its 100% vegan rainbow-coloured burgers.
#TeamCoco babes Hannah Tan-Gillies and Amira Aratesh ventured out to the rainy central London this weekend to see if Flower Burger’s vibrant menu lives up to all its colourful hype.
Flower Burger offers 100% natural, plant-based fast-food which are excellent for those looking for a hearty meal minus all the nasties. Flower Burger is an Italian fast food concept, born in the heart of Milan in 2015. Inspired by lyrics from two famous Italian singers, Flower Burger is all about positivity, joy and love and set out on a mission to add a colour punch to your next meal.
This vibrant philosophy extends to the restaurant interiors (and exteriors) which maximise colour wherever you look. The cosy outdoor space features brightly-coloured chairs, while downstairs is a neon-lit playground – which exudes a cool yet quirky almost club-like atmosphere.
We started with the Flower Bombs, which are made with red kidney beans and chickpea flour. The Flower Bombs are an excellent bite-sized alternative for those looking to find a meat-free alternative to nuggets but pack an even stronger flavour profile. We also had a generous serving of the Patatas Buenas, which offers a fresh take on a traditional Spanish recipe.
Moving onto the main event, we tried the Funky Chickpea and Cherry Bomb burgers which were as delicious as they looked. The Funky Chickpea comes in a bright yellow multi-cereal bun, with a hearty chickpea patty, flower mayo, juicy tomatoes and Gentilina lettuce.
The Cherry Bomb burger — the most Instagrammed burger on the menu — came in a deep pink bun with a lentil and basmati rice patty, tomato confit, rocktail sauce and soybean sprouts. While the cherry bomb burger is undeniably Instagrammable, it also offered plenty of crunch, texture, and flavour to satisfy all your food cravings, way beyond the gram.
Any true Marylebone native is undoubtedly familiar with the wild and colourful history of Home House. The iconic members club combines 18th century splendour with 21st century style and has been home to some of London’s most opulent parties for centuries.
From the outside looking in, Home House may seemingly blend in with the other handsome Georgian townhouses on Portman Square, but step inside and you’ll quickly be enveloped in the eccentric atmosphere of this historic space.
This gem was originally built by King George III’s architect in the 18th century. Throughout the years, Home House became known as a vibrant melting pot for the cultural elite and bohemian crowd. Today, Home House still hosts many wild nights for its members, whether that be in the notorious Vaults or its beautiful garden.
We were invited to sample the menu at the newly-reopened Garden at Home House, which after a brief COVID-19 hiatus, is welcoming the al fresco season in true style. The lavish garden space has become the place to be and be seen in Marylebone.
The entrance features a striking floral array, perfect for spring, and reflective of the colourful and wonderfully British food (and cocktails) on offer. An extravagant Raj Tent sits at the centre of the space, which offers the perfect refuge for those who dared to dine al fresco and embrace the bipolar nature of British springtime.
We started our culinary escapade with an aperitif and the Tanqueray and Northern Blossom Honey, and Yuzu blended ‘Honey Trap’ certainly didn’t disappoint. For starters, the Dexter Beef Carpaccio offered delicate flavours and textures and is served with delicious roasted artichokes too.
Moving onto mains, we sampled the wonderfully hearty Swaledale Lamb Cutlets, cooked to tender perfection, and seasoned with intent. The lamb is perfectly complemented by a smattering of aubergines, artichokes, bulgur wheat and pistachios – and is both good for the palate and the soul.
To finish it off, we tried an assortment of sorbets, with the coconut sorbet in particular serving as a subtly-sweet palate cleanser that perfectly bookended our meal.
While Homehouse may be a private members club, non-members can also enjoy the Home House garden by booking an overnight stay at one of its 23-individually designed bedrooms and suites. And after a truly fabulous and flamboyant evening at Home House, one thing is for sure, I certainly know what London staycation I’m booking once 17 May comes rolling around.
It’s that time of the year again when the only things that seem to be on our minds are cute fluffy bunnies and an endless supply of chocolate Easter eggs.

We’ve done all the hard research work so you don’t have to, below are our top recommendations to make sure you bring some sunshine into your at-home Easter experience.

Galvin Bistrot & Bar
Easter is all about BBQ and it does look like we are heading into a period of BBQ-friendly weather conditions. Galvin has the perfect meat box with the likes of Côte de Boeuf, half-rack BBQ pork ribs, beef burgers, and hot dogs as well as a wide selection of sides like tomato & basil salad and couscous salad. One thing to remember, this is top-notch restaurant quality produce you can’t find at your local supermarket.
Smokestak
If you love your BBQ meats in a rich, smoky style, then Smokestak is the website you should be hitting up to order your festive meat feast. Smokestak owner David Carter’s Ole Hickory wood-fired smoker is used to smoke everything right in the heart of Shoreditch for up to 15 hours over kiln-dried English oak.

The kit also comes with a bottle of Lambrusco to ensure celebrations start in style.

You need to order by the 30th of March to get this kit delivered before Easter weekend.
Gelupo
If you don’t have time for a lengthy 3-course meal but still want to celebrate Easter with a high-quality dessert treat, then check out the Italian Easter offering from the finest gelato parlour in London. The Colomba offering is the springtime equivalent of a Christmas panettone. This gelato is inspired by the indulgent, fluffy classic Italian cake that is made with made top-quality flour, farm-fresh eggs, sugar, and butter sprinkled with nuts.
The Last Piece Bakery
Finally, we can not end without recommending an independent, small business that we know and love. There are no boundaries to their baking influences from gooey American-style ombre cookies to delicate, Arabic-influenced milk cakes. Their beautiful creations in particular their hampers to celebrate special occasions like Valentine’s day and Easter are much-loved by Londoners and beyond. Do check out their Instagram for some hunger-inducing photos.
Most people in England have marked down the 17th of May as the key date to return to their favourite restaurants to support their favourite local businesses. However, there’s a raft of restaurants that are ready to open their terraces to famished diners from the 12th of April. Here, at House of Coco, we check out the 10 venues, you should be visiting in April.
Vinegar Yard
If you are looking for wide-open spaces and a relaxed atmosphere to catch-up with friends and family over evening aperitif or to check-out the latest street food trends, this is the place to visit with the likes of Baba G’s, Sugo, Nik’s Kitchen, and Nanny Bill’s. It is conveniently situated next to London Bridge with the iconic Shard building as a backdrop.
Devonshire Terrace
With some people returning to work in the city, you might be wondering what decent outdoor drinking and dining spaces might be open in April. Look no further than Devonshire Terrace. It’s secluded, it’s tranquil, their cocktails are always impressive so whether you are on a date or a business meeting, this is the ideal urban hideaway. Quite a few of the Drake and Morgan venues are opening up, so do check out their website.
Mariage Frères
One of the most aesthetically pleasing pedestrianised areas we came across last year was King St in Covent Garden. It’s lined with boutique shops and elegant restaurants. The one to check out here is the renowned French tea emporium, Mariage Frères. If there is any tea they don’t stock, it’s probably not worth trying. And their tea-inspired food menu is staggeringly creative.
Double Standard at the Standard
The hottest hotel opening in recent years is back with their ever-popular terrace opening in April. This is the place to see and be seen. Their Aperol slushies have been a huge hit with Londoners and they will be launching a new flavour in the spring. Expect burgers, expect cocktails and expect frivolity.
JOY at Portobello
For those floral-loving diners, look no further than the outdoor terrace at JOY’s dahlia-filled Flora restaurant at Portobello Docks. The waterside views are almost as incredible as the ultra-fresh produce in the restaurant which is brought up daily from The Good Shed in Canterbury.
Angelina
If you are looking for an outdoor terrace in April that will offer creative fare, then the place to go is Angelina in Dalston. They have been arousing Londoners’ taste buds with their imaginative fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisines. Think uni & sausage chawanmushi and cime di rapa tempura. Plus they have a covered terrace, so you can still meet up with friends even if inclement weather strikes.
Aquavit
You might be wondering if you can still enjoy fine dining experiences on the terraces in April. The answer is most definitely yes if you visit the terraces of the ever-popular Nordic restaurant, Aquavit. All the Nordic classics you would expect are present including Skagen, highland venison loin, and Icelandic cod.
Natak
A lot of restauranteurs decided to not wait for the May indoor hospitality opening date and made the call to extend their terraces to start welcoming keen restaurant-goers from April. Natak is a case in point; this relaxed, informal Indian restaurant serves iconic Indian dishes alongside traditional family recipes. You need a considerable spice rack to cook up decent Indian dishes at home, so why clutter up your kitchen and just go and check out Natak instead.
Heddon Yokocho
Heddon Street is another one of those hidden pedestrianised treasures that exist in the West End. This retro-style ramen bar is a temple to all things noodles-related. They have ramen recipes stretching back to 1884 with their Hakodate Shio to modern-day vegan London creations. And why sweat whilst slurping away at your comforting bowl of ramen when you can enjoy the cool outdoor breeze on their terrace?
St Pancras Champagne Bar by Searcys
Finally, what better way to celebrate the re-opening of hospitality than toasting with a glass of Champagne? The best place to experience this is at St Pancras by Searcys, which is home to Europe’s longest Champagne bar (98 metres long). They have buzzers you can press for Champagne and they serve the cutest afternoon teas in designer suitcases.
Now you can enjoy the authentic taste of Japan at home, because Shoryu has launched a new menu of DIY Shoryu Kits. Our girl Hannah Tan-Gillies cancelled her Saturday night plans to try her hand at mastering the art of ramen with Shoryu’s Restaurant Kits – and honestly – it was a lot easier than expected.
Nothing beats a steaming hot bowl of Ramen and Shoryu’s Ramen kits come with everything you need to turn yourself into a socially-distanced ramen master in no time. We sampled the Shoryu Ganso Ramen Kit, which has more than enough noodle goodness for two and will add some Japanese style to your Saturday night meal.
Each DIY kit includes 600ml of Shoryu’s absolutely delicious 12-hour ‘bangin’ Tonkotsu soup stock, two servings of original ramen noodles, Char Siu barbeque pork belly, Beni Shoda red ginger, spring onions and Kikurage mushrooms.
Ramen enthusiasts can also order additional soft boiled nimatago egg, and nori seaweed to add that extra dash of authenticity to your ramen concoction.
The DIY kits are fool-proof and can be assembled in 10 minutes. You start off with mixing the soup stock with some water and putting it to a boil. While this is simmering, you slice and brown the Char siu pork and thinly slice the spring onions and quickly boil the noodles. Once all this is ready, assemble your noodles and enjoy.
While the preparation is quick and easy, the result is absolutely incredible. The soup stock is wonderfully rich and is perfectly balanced with the light wheat noodles. The browned char siu pork belly, mixed with all the trimmings, certainly captures the authenticity and flavours of Shoryu Ramen, and we didn’t even have to leave the house.
There’s nothing better than a delicious breakfast to kickstart the work week, but Breakfast En Bread’s loaded buns certainly take breakfast to new bready heights. Breakfast En Bread has been delighting breakfast lovers since 2014 with is scrumptious loaded bread loaves and now you can order them in for Next-Day Delivery too.
You can get all the loaded bread favourites like The Original, Smokey Salmon, Vegetarian and Vegan or add a splash of bubbles with ‘The Furnace Sparkling Wine Box’ which includes a 750ml bottle of The Wren English Reserve Sparkling Wine.
We sampled the loaded vegan bread loaf, which arrived just in time to perk up our Monday morning breakfast situation. All of Breakfast en Bread’s ingredients are sourced form the best local fishmongers, free-range butchers and seasonal vegetables in the UK.
The new Vegan loaded bread loaf, a totally new addition to the Breakfast en Bread menu for 2021, combines its Gail’s Bakery sourdough lined with kale and overflowing with delicious cannellini beans, smothered in rich passata sauce. Don’t be fooled, because that yellow round thing in the centre of the loaf is certainly not an egg, but instead a preserved lemon adding zest to the hearty bready breakfast concoction.
Oyster mushrooms, slow-roasted banana shallot and a healthy serving of vegan mozzarella finish the loaf, adding plenty of surprise and flavour to your breakfast. We must warn you; you better bring your appetite when ordering one of Breakfast en Bread’s loaves – because they certainly don’t scrimp on the goodness, giving you a bang for your buck.
