BEST HOLE IN THE WALL CAFÉ: Nookie

This has to be the hospitality equivalent of Ludwig Bemelmans’s Madeline – you know, may be very small, but inside she’s tall? Except that by “tall” we of course mean “the food here is excellent, the staff charming, and as if the coffee weren’t enough of a pick-me-up, there are also quotes from Mother Teresa chalked up on the walls”. Nuff said. (Sophie Tarr & Bianca de Meyrick)
