Browns Brownies

The summer has been pretty amazing so far - for UK standards at least. It's not unbearably hot anymore (and certainly not beach weather), it's just perfect and when leaving work, it's still nice and warm - great for sitting outside.

I was on my way home, racking my brain on what to have for dinner - really not in the mood for cooking - when I got a text from a friend. So, we ended up having dinner at Browns at West India Quay. The whole area (just one stop before Canary Wharf on the DLR) is full of bars and restaurants - most of them parts of chains though, which gives it quite a corporate feel. Maybe as well as it's primarily frequented by the suit wearing city workers who work in Canary Wharf. And I am assuming it's pretty deserted on weekends.

Food was ok, and even though we spent hours there, nobody was pestering us to order more drinks. Well, to the point that we had to wait for our bill for quite a while... Overall, an ok place with an extensive cocktail menu and brownies to die for!
