Lubię proste a smaczne dania. Możliwość własne gotowania, skradła mi serce. Życzę im powodzenia i trzymam za was kciuki. W Londynie jest ogromna konkurencja a ten mały lokal świetnie sobie radzi.

Machiya on Panton Street is a cozy spot serving comforting Japanese home-style cooking, from crispy tonkatsu and hearty katsu curry to warming bowls of gyudon and the occasional indulgence like wagyu katsu or glazed unajyu (eel on rice). Portions are generous, flavors are balanced, and the desserts—especially the matcha mille crepe and gooey matcha fondant—are a highlight.
