London for Insiders: June 2011

Finally! A Bistrotheque pop-up

Last Bistrotheque pop-up was epic. In the middle of the Olympic site, amazing views, great food, convivial atmosphere, tequlia cockails (thus convivial atmosphere).

Now they're finally back with a new pop-up, somewhere near Canary Wharf, how fitting, the epicentre of all things 80s and slightly gaudy in London. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention, there's an 80s theme.

Hopefully they won't be pulling a Blumenthal and making glorified toasties.

You need to book ahead, actually, you need to book right now, on the link below.

It's £45 a head, with booze. DO IT. NOW.

Quite the world citizen, Monique Vanni is an international environmental consultant, with a diplomatic background. She's also a PHD candidate at LSE's Department of Social Policy, an ashtanga yoga practitioner and likes the odd life drawing class.

She's chosen London because it is truly a cosmopolitan experience, and each bus ride feels like a Benetton comercial.

Monique has been in London for over three years, and is always peeling away at new layers of this big onion of a metropolis. While she considers herself a big contemporary art enthusiast, her greatest passion is food.

She loves to buy it, cook it, eat it, and talk about it.... Her London is a bit off the beaten track: a bit scruffy, but glamorous nonetheless. Like Brigitte Bardot after a rough night.
