Backstreets of Brixton

Feeling hung-over and not having much cash in your bank account is not a very nice feeling. However, the idea of going out for dinner and possibly (if you can stomach it) hair of the dog always seems like the best cure. Brixton is home to a variety of places to eat and drink but I would suggest first starting at the Rest is Noise, which is on Brixton Road and just next to Plan B. Briefly stopping off here for a few glasses of their ice cold Rosé to shake that queasy feeling off definitely does the job and you even get to sit on some seriously comfy sofas while your at it. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and is a perfect watering hole before heading off for a big night out. 

If you do not want to face the bright lights on London, then head down the road to Fujiyama  on Vining Street. It is a small Japanese noodle bar that offers a massive range of food from creating your own sushi platters to a whole selection box of different foods.  This was my rather over enthusiastic order..

I defiantly had eyes that where bigger than my stomach but that did not stop me from eating every last bit, with the exception of a few lettuce leaves. I had the vegetable spring rolls, cucumber sushi rolls and then the chicken teriyaki Bento which was far more exiting to look at than it was to eat. Word of advice, do not get Miso soup as I am sure it came from a packet and was mostly powderd lumps, yum.

If you still have energy to kill and are not suffering from a massive food baby then The Prince is a cheap and cheerful pub that is just on the corner next to the huge KFC. Although they always insist on play unnecessarily loud music, a Jack Daniels and Coke is only a measly £3.50...bargin. It is a good place to finish off the night but you might find yourself having to shout at one another to have a conversation.

For a place that has not had the best reputation in the past is now an area that provides pretty much everything you could want for a night out, but sometimes you have to escape the main roads and dig a little deeper in the backstreets..(just be careful!)

Au revoir
