If there’s any news you didn’t know you needed today, this is it – a halloumi restaurant is opening
up in London.

The five-dish tasting menu has been created especially by chef Francis Puyat, and will be served from the 13th November.
Dishes include chargrilled halloumi flatbread, crumbled halloumi fingers with chilli jam included, halloumi cauliflower fritters and a courgette and halloumi salad.
In addition to the deliciously cheesy food there will be traditional Cypriot cocktails, including harissa Bloody Marys and coriander and ginger martinis. Get me to the bar, now.

Dragon’s Den star Theo Paphitis, who hails from Cyprus said:
Cyprus and its food are true passions of mine and the pop up restaurant will bring the delicious Cypriot cheese, halloumi, to every dish on the menu…even the dessert.
I’m sure many other people will fall in love with the Cypriot national cheese once they’ve tried it – and perhaps even visit Cyprus to discover the rest of the island’s delicious cuisine and wine.
Say Halloum-mi to Cyprus! will be at 100 Hoxton, located at 100-102 Hoxton Street, N1 6SG from 13 – 19 November, 2017.
Bookings can be made here.

I don’t know about you, but I’d be up for going to either, or both, of these restaurants.
