Tootsies, London

Fanatstic restraunt great for a decent meal and to spot the occasional celeb. Although its a bit on the expensive side the food comes in fairly large portions and tastes amazing. Combine this with the interior design and atmosphore and you have a 5 star restraunt!

The Belsize Park location of a popular London chain. A big menu, with big food. Lots of burgers and sandwiches, pastas, popular sorts of meals for families.

I like this location for weekend brunch (and so does everyone else, judging by the crowds). You can get fuelled up enough for the whole day if you can get a seat amongst the Heath walkers and high-end Hampstead prams.

Celebrity spotting: I once ate lunch here at a table next to Abi Titmuss. I did not pester her, and she did not attack me. Also, she kept her clothes on throughout the meal.

I went here on a Sunday daytime and although it was quite busy, we managed to get a table in no time at all. The service was great and the waitresses are genuinely interested in your food choice and whether you’re enjoying yourself. You can tell them exactly how hungry you are, what you fancy and they’ll find a meal to match.

I had the Teriyaki chicken with buttery mash and coleslaw. For the first time in ages I actually scrapped the plate clear, because I enjoyed it so much and it didn’t leave me feeling bloated, just very content.

I highly recommend this place to eat and drink, plus it’s in a lovely area. Perfect after a walk on Hampstead Heath.
