Garum restaurant review: ‘I'd go back for the carbonara again'
Right, here are three excellent places you could have lunch: one mad, one posh, one quick. Those are the three basic paradigms, right? Because if you're planning to have lunch today, then you're either going to be thinking, 'Hmm, I've got a lot on. I'll grab something tasty but swift,' or, 'I've got a couple of hours. I fancy something interesting,' or, 'I'm a man of means. I deserve something properly posh today.'
Shall we go to the quick place first, get it out of the way? Great. Tenmaru. It's a nice authentic little ramen joint, everything made on site, proper Japanese values, which opened in Finsbury Park in 2019 and spawned a second site behind Oxford Circus just round the corner from my office
