The Nordic Bakery- OMG

Mar 212013

I had a doctors appointment this morning, and conveniently my doctors office is right near the Nordic Bakery in Marylebone. (There are two locations in London) The design of the shop is clean, simple, almost barren. It does not matter- they have these Cinnamon Buns that I think are to die for. I usually like a lot of icing on my cinnamon buns, theirs have non and I am completely okay with that. They are baked throughout the day and always fresh and hot. Now they sell other Nordic treats, I can’t say I have tried any of them. Why would I, when all I want is the Cinnamon Bun. I am probably missing out on something great, in this case I am okay with that.

So my treat to myself since I was going to the Doctors was I got to get a Cinnamon Bun! I should make Doctor’s appointments all the time! OMG, I later today I was walking down Dorset street and smelled CINNAMON, there is another Nordic Bakery that just opened. This could be trouble, there is one even closer to me!!!

The Cinnamon Buns

I love them so much ,I would work there for free to learn how to make them! They do have a cookbook which I want to get, with the Cinnamon Bun recipe, I am skeptic though that it will taste the same… Will let you know when I try. Here is the recipe is you want to try…

Brought it home and still warm!!

Duck and Waffle – A restaurant with a great view

Perched up on the 40th floor of the Heron Building close to Liverpool station, sits Duck and Waffle. Unlike most of London that shuts down at a certain hour, Duck and Waffle stays open 24-hours a day. From the name you would think there would be all different variations of Duck dishes and waffles, but actually there is only one dish that serves both duck and waffle with a fried duck egg. This restaurant is great because the views are amazing, the best I have yet to see in London. Better than the London Eye. The menu is small plates with a few large plates.

Now,the Shard (Europe’s Tallest Building) has recently opened their viewing platform charging £40 pounds per person to go up and see it. Now this seems insane to me because I can’t believe the views are any better there than they are at the top of the Heron Building, so I might as well have some food and drink to go along with my view!

The friend I went with was very hungry when he arrived and decided to pretty much order a lot of the menu so I got a fairly good tasting. The food is good but not incredible. I would come back with someone who is visiting London but would not go with someone who lives in London again. The Views are truly spectacular and worth a visit.
