The Embassy is a long, narrow bar with a bunch of small booths and low lighting. They often play The Cure and Pere Ubu and stuff like that, though there are also DJs sometimes who come and play other kinds of stuff. The people here are quite diverse,…More »

This place is legit.

I have walked by a number of times and eyed the tasty animal parts on display in its window - tripe, testicles, pig's heads, tongues, entire lambs, etc. But what finally brought me in was a simple handwritten sign in the window,…More »

This is my favourite place to eat lunch in Kensington. Food is laughably cheap, made to order, and chock full of deliciousness. I generally feel a little lost at sea here, because I'm not sure what some of the menu items are, and I'm really not sure…More »

Do I want pork belly with fried eggs, boudin noir with scrambled eggs, or steak tartare? Tough decision, but the kind of conundrum I am happy to face. Eventually, I chose the boudin noir. Friend had poached eggs in red wine sauce (the day's special).…More »

You know in the movies, when they call in the bomb squad to defuse a bomb, and the guy's cutting the wires, and he has to move really really slowly and reall really carefully so that he doesn't set off the bomb? And you the audience are thinking…More »
