Tasty on Tour 2025 has commenced! Debbie and I decided to check out a few of the top 25 casual dining brands from the first edition of our Eat With Your Eyes Tasty 100 zine this year. It was the perfect excuse to explore some fantastic food and environments whilst keeping an eye on what's trending in London (in the sun). Yesterday’s adventure kicked off at Megan's Restaurants, perfectly located in Islington Square, followed by a stroll to NOCI (part of the always excellent Various Eateries PLC), Rosa's Thai (yum), and finishing up at Vapiano (bellissimo). Each of these restaurants was selected because we believe they’re the ones to watch this year, and they certainly did not disappoint. What makes all these places so special is not only their food, drink and opulent interiors, but their people. All of these places had great teams that seemed to celebrate the brand and have great knowledge and charisma.   A special mention must go to Lucia at Noci Islington, who truly exemplifies a brand ambassador. Passionate about the food, the brand’s ethos, and staff training, Lucia, who has been with Noci since 2022, ensures high standards and is a key part of the experience. Lucia was just so hospitable and shared with us some of their freshly cooked focaccia that they bake in-house daily (it was delizioso! I wouldn’t want my Sicilian wife to hear me say it was one of the best I have ever tasted). Noci itself was fantastic, but having someone like Lucia there togreet you, gave it that extra 10% without a doubt. Her warmth made our visit extra special, and we’ll be returning soon for more of their incredible frosted walnuts! As this was such an enjoyable task, we are hoping to explore more UK hospitality gems in May.   Interested in our Zine?
