London openings: 3 worthwhile new restaurants
Posted by: Budget Travel, Monday, Nov 9, 2009, 12:28 PM

A look at a few recent additions to the British capital's restaurant scene.

Breakfast Bistro
Renowned restaurateur Terence Conran has a new place in town, but unlike at his upscale spots Bibendum and Blueprint Café, nothing on the menu at Albion , which serves breakfast until midnight, costs more than $14.50. Conran and his wife, Vicki, personally picked the quirky decor—bar stools made from tractor seats, antique factory lamps, knitted tea cozies on each table—for the Shoreditch café. The Breakfast Bap (bacon, fried egg, sausage) is a Sunday brunch favorite (2-4 Boundary St., 011-44/20-7729-1051, albioncaff.co.uk).

Home Cooking
The vibe at newly opened Bumpkin is actually more Kentucky than South Kensington—bales of hay are used for decoration, and waiters wear COUNTRY BOY and COUNTRY GIRL shirts. But the comfort food is authentic: pork belly, steak and fries, and a chicken pie in a flaky puff pastry. A new two-course Springtime Lunch is $17 (102 Old Brompton Rd., 011-44/20-7341-0802, bumpkinuk.com).

Michelin Special
When Putney Bridge chef Anthony Demetre opened his own French restaurant, people mobbed Arbutus. And they still do—because it's the only Michelin-starred spot in London to offer a one-dish plat du jour deal for around $20, including pork meatballs served with a buttery potato puree (63-64 Frith St., 011-44/20-7734-4545, arbutusrestaurant.co.uk).

If you are looking for effective volume pills then you will know that these pills work by giving you a better and more satisfying sex life. They do this by increasing the hormone levels in your body and they also increase the circulation and blood flow to the penis. In doing this these pills also give you solid erections and increase the length of time that your erection lasts too. This is great for anyone that suffers from premature ejaculation. If this is the case then you really should look for pills with pomegranate.
