Joe & the Juice, Soho, London

Hangover Heaven
If you're looking for a comfy place to relax, "study", or catch up with friends in a central location, Joe & the Juice is one of my top suggestions. This juice bar offers a large selection of fresh juices and smoothies with a blend of good taste and nutrition. The average price per juice is a reasonable £3.80... The cafe also sells healthy sandwiches and snacks. I tried the Hangover Heaven which contained orange, elderflower and mint. Definitely check this place out next time you're looking for a rest stop after shopping on Oxford Street!

Spice Market, Leicester Square, London

Starter
Pad Thai
Kaffir Lime Cheescake
I was delighted with my Southeast Asian meal at Jean George's Spice Market... Compared to it's New York counterpart, the London location was casual, yet elegant. Our waiter was quite helpful and recommended a variety of vegetarian dishes for our meal. We kept it light and tried a special dish not on the menu (asparagus based) and the Vegetarian Pad Thai. For dessert, we had the Kaffir Lime Cheesecake with Mandarin sorbet and braised pineapple. Given this was a lunch visit, I would definitely visit Spice Market again for a weekend dinner to experience a more exciting and lively atmosphere.
