Franco Manca, Chiswick, London

For our last dinner in London we went with friends to Franco Manca in Chiswick and enjoyed their well-priced (nothing over £7) pizzas.

It is obvious that pride is taken with their pizzas; even the pizza oven was built in Naples. The ingredients are primarily organic and on the back of the menu, they proudly state where they have come from; Tomatoes from Salerno, Salami from Brindisa, ....

We had an enjoyable meal here with good service and would happily return.

Restaurant Review: Stein’s, Richmond

Stein’s is a Bavarian-style restaurant located in a lovely location on the Thames river. With only outdoor seating it is an authentic beer garden with German beers and meals.

Jane & I both had the schnitzel and it was huge, well cooked and accompanied by german potato salad (which I thought was a bit too salty, but otherwise good).

I enjoyed a Paulaner lager and Jane had an Austrian Lemonade that was great.

The meal was well priced and we would happily return.

The Thames in Richmond, London

A short walk from where we were staying in Richmond, London was the Thames river. This is such a lovely area to walk around, with some excellent bars and restaurants. We were surprised to see how high the flood line is, and to find that it is very common for the path to be covered by water in some parts.
