The #cassieskitchen adventures of Drake & Morgan

There once was a social butterfly who frequented London Bars and funky bars.

So I like to explore London and I am always up to try something new and see as much as possible, and it just so happened without intending too, I have gone to not one but 2 Drake and Morgan venues in 2 days. (Not very “explorer” of me.) So to make up for this in the past week, I have been to  The National Museum to see Picassos sunflowers, a Tapas Restaurant in Greenwich, a French Pattiserie in Soho a few wine bars including Gordons Wine bar near embankment and Guanabara.

I shall set the scene at the start of my adventures since my last blog. It's valentines night and I'm getting dressed to head out to some mysterious dinner in Canary Wharf with my husband Stuart. It's a special night, (the first as husband & wife) and I naturally decided to wear my favourite dress.

We arrive in Canary Wharf via the tube, and it' windy, oh so windy and at one point I am holding onto Stuart for dear life as the wind is blowing me over in my stilettos. We arrive, slightly windswept and a little wet after battling with the "breeze" of Canary Wharf, to a buzzing seductive bar/ restaurant pumping out some funky tunes that oversees the nearby ice rink.

We are seated by the host and served up a 2 glasses of water at wonky table. Not a great start, but shortly afterwards we are relocated to a more intimate table in the middle of the restaurant and a bottle of Champagne appears. Bingo. 

Our first dish of the evening is a goats cheese curve served with hummus and edible flowers & sundries tomatoes. ( MMM CHEESE) Then our second course is followed shortly after with lobster & steak - yum checkout the picture.

Overall an enjoyable meal. We didn't stay for dessert as the night was getting on, (and now I sound like an old nanna) but we won’t be going back as this is a nice bar that serves food, not to be confused with a restaurant with a drinks selection.

                       
My second adventure was to the newly opened Fable bar opened up in Holborn, I went here with my friend and fellow blogger Emma from  whosebootsarethoseshoes. With my first steps onto the top level of the bar, I knew this was the perfect place to adventure for our blog brainstorm lunch.

FYI this is a super cool venue the decor is rather trendy and my sister Rebecca would love it, the walls are covered in pages of old books and it has such a beautiful effect with the unique lighting fixtures bouncing off alluring shadows. It makes you feel as if the golden goose is about to walk through and lay a golden egg.

Next stop is Greenwich. As I had already eaten a massive bowl of linguine earlier in the day Tapas was a great suggestion, and I headed there to meet Michelle, Linda and Stuart for a bottle of red wine, chorizo, patatas bravas & whitebait mmm Yum Yum.

Now it’s Sunday and I have a scheduled trike date with Camille & Bec and we travel to the National Portrait gallery to view Picassos Sunflowers then head on our mission for non-booked high tea. I tell you what if you plan on going to high tea, book ahead. So we wondered on, and by accident we ended up having high tea at the maisonbertaux.

This has to be the best hidden treasure, absolutely  delicious! The berries were so fresh and amazing and I am counting down the days to get back there and order my next Strawberry tart.

So before my next blog I am setting myself a goal. A Google Places page & connecting with another blogger while I hunt for a mentor to take #cassieskitchen to the next level.
