IN THE MAGAZINE: An elevated taste of India in an Edwardian fire station — Michelin star restaurant Yaatra is the location for your next date night…! @yaatrawestminster 🍴🌟🇮🇳🇬🇧 “Said to be the UK’s second most popular takeaway, Indian cuisine is flourishing throughout Britain.

In fact, when the working week comes to an end and cooking isn’t on the cards, sometimes a comforting Indian dish is all that will do…” writes YCB’s Josie Wilkins. “This week, we suggest resisting the temptation of cardboard-boxed biryani, and to instead experience a journey of fine Indian dining.” We headed to Westminster as we were invited over to discover @yaatrawestminster, a Michelin restaurant offering an elevated taste of India like you’ve never had before.

Fish & Bubbles: New Seafood Restaurant & Aperitivo Bar in Notting Hill…! @fishandbubbleslondon YCB Magazine’s @sophievictoriagreen writes… ✍️ "This new casual Italian eatery is inspired by aperitivo bars and is the first place in the UK to specialise in “panini di mare” – aka fish paninis. These signature toasted sandwiches come in the form of “Rosetta” bread rolls, which is a typical Italian doorstep-sized bun shaped as a rose, stuffed with the freshest seafood fillings. The restaurant looks petite from the outside but there’s plenty of room, with two ground-floor dining areas, bar and table seating, plus a downstairs area that would accommodate bigger groups. The décor is cosy, with lamplit tables and kitschy seaside details such as fishing nets and maritime paintings. It’s the type of place you can visit for date night, or a catch up with friends, fuelled by several glasses of prosecco… … There’s so much to like about this new restaurant concept in Notting Hill. The menu is a lot of fun, the Negronis are cheap as chips and the fish is as fresh as it gets."
