...where I might find the Max Brenner Chocolate Café. I was told it was on the second floor and given a map. It turned out that I really needed it. Once on the second floor, I initially followed the signs to the Harrods Café, but on eyeing the menu, I immediately knew that I had found the wrong place.

Advantages: Yummy sandwiches, macaroons and takeaway bread
Disadvantages: Gets overcrowded at peak times

...packet of several smaller ones. Paul get the balance completely right between the chewy macaroon and the smooth creamy filling. The sandwiches are also great, the breads always fresh and they have a great choice of fillings ranging from traditional favourites of ham and cheese or tuna to different meats, cheeses and pickles.

Seeing as we were in a bit of a hurry to get to the show we decided to skip the starters and go straight to the main course. Both of us went for the New York Strip Steak at £18.50 each; quite expensive considering that was just for the steak. If you wanted a side order of chips or salad it cost an extra £3.00 which I thought was ... Read review

Travel either to Oxford Circus or Tottenham Court Road tube station and head down Oxford Street (if you're coming from TCR head west, if from Oxford Street head east). You want to be walking down he north side of Oxford Street (the side wiut the big Virgin Megastore and HMV).
