Website:  https://www.galvinrestaurants.com/s/61/galvin-la-chapelle Address: 35 Spital Square, London E1 6DY Nearest Tube Station: Liverpool Street Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Star Awards won: according to the site, they wont 2017 Bookatable Awards for Best French Restaurant in London and #14 in the Top 50 Best Restaurants in London Michelin Star: One Michelin Star Feedback: October 18, 2017 (Wednesday, 9 PM) Tried their London Restaurant Festival Menu 3 course for the price of 34.50 GBP I personally didn't find the "WOW" effect that I would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant though was fascinated how attentive the waiters are. Pumpkin Velouté Despite not a lot, it was actually quite thick and thus feeling. I actually liked it. Went well with the mushrooms and nuts Seared Calves Liver This was the main course that I chose. It was really good, though would have wished if it was as part of the main course (or the appetizer), instead of the act

Nearest Tube Station: Piccadily Circus Site:  https://www.kanada-ya.com/  Address:  3 Panton St, London SW1Y 4DL This is their 2nd store the first on is in 64 Saint Giles High Street, London WC2H 8LE, United Kingdom  Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Star Feedback: October 16, 2017 (Monday) As I've said in my  initial review,  "I personally consider this the best ramen I have tasted so far here in London. The soup and noodle was great, thick and tasty. The meat was soft as it should be. The Egg was a bit sweet (not to my liking but some might like it). " I ordered hard ramen which is the recommended one. And this time, I tried the Tonkotsu! Space is bigger than the one in Covent Garden but still tad small For some reason, I didn't have to wait long despite being there at 7 pm. I think the queue is not that bad for both shops from what I heard but normally for this place, it is better because they have more seats. Tonkotsu Ramen With Tan-tan (minced pork)

AC 738 SFO to Toronto 4 hour flight time Boeing 787-9 Has 8 rows for business class Seating is 1-2-1 NO SWAGs (free toothbrush etc) AC 848 Toronto to London Almost 7 hour flight time Boeing 777-300ER Has 2 sections for business class - 7 rows and 4 rows.
