As someone who has grown up and lived in London for nearly 30 years, I've had the good fortune to eat in many of the great restaurants the city has to offer. Blushes is most definitely not one of them, unless of course you have an abiding desire to wait all afternoon for an overpriced lunch served by uninterested disingenuous staff and to be left with a salty taste in the mouth that you would normally associate more closely with a night on the tequilas than a spot of afternoon lunch in trendy Sloane Square. The toilets were in a worse state than my local Wetherspoons and frankly the food was worse than the microwave fayre served by everyone's favourite pub chain. I had the pesto chicken pasta, which I'm told had some pesto and chicken in, but which were barely detectable underneath half the saline content of the Dead Sea. Which was just what I wanted having waited nigh on 45 minutes - good work Blushes.

My mother ordered the Chicken Caesar salad from the specials menu only for us to be told upon asking for the bill that we had not explicitly requested the specials version of the Caesar and instead were to be charged more for the A la Carte rendition. Normally I'd be annoyed that this hadn't been pointed out when the Omid Djalili lookalike manager took our order, but I was distracted by the hallucinations brought on by eating 2000% of the average man's RDA of salt. 

I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised that the bill had a mandatory 12.5% added on - after all salt doesn't come cheaply and most certainly doesn't pay for itself - but I would, after such exemplary service and impeccable food, have genuinely appreciated being able to give a 20% tip and the keys to my house. In summary f you love salt and things that taste like shit, I would advise drinking from the Thames, but if you want to stay dry Blushes provides an ideal alternative. If you want to be shafted by a large bald man, then Soho on a Friday night is probably your best bet but Blushes is a close

I like meeting up with friends at Blushes Cafe. The atmosphere's really friendly and welcoming and the food's pretty tasty.

If you're arranging an evening with friends, give Blushes Cafe a try.
