"So there I am, on a beautiful warm Sunday, sitting at home by myself. Impossible. I decide that I need to go out ASAP and just do something. And what’s better than treating myself to a nice lunch. Yes, I’m one of those people that doesn’t mind eating by herself and, in fact, loves it. I started walking down Upper Street, without any clue as to where to sit down. The reason why I chose Blue Legume, was simply because of the open front seemed like exactly what I was looking for. Decided to go for an egg white omelette and the Spirulina smoothie. Omelette was light and exactly as it should be, but I think I was more grateful for the potatoes that came along with it very very well seasoned. I was, however, completely blown away by the smoothie love the fact that it was green, not too sweet and so refreshing. Wouldn’t mind having it on a daily basis. I finished all of that pretty quickly and since I didn’t want to just head back home, I had a second look at the menu and finally found another excuse to stay. Ordered the apple crumble and some coffee to get rid of the sleepiness that was about to hit me. Nothing out of the ordinary here, except the fact that the crumble, was clearly microwaved. Was initially disappointed, but somehow it didn’t ruin my experience. Staff was very nice and receptive, no issues there, and unlike most times when I go for a meal by myself, there were no awkward stares. I felt pretty comfortable and happy after the entire meal, and that’s why I was back 2 weeks later with a friend for more. Would happily visit over and over again."

"if they are a beer lover, that is exactly the right place for them. They have many interesting beers on the tap and a good selection of bottles as well. the finger food is simply amazing. ambiente: the ambiente this place is very welcoming and has enough space for it to host a small party. the music is not too loud, and they can have a good conversation while they enjoy that pint of beer and share some thoughts about the life or the beer in general; the heatings are used in the moderation and some of the areas of the place can have a little cool, especially near the door, but nothing a cup of the beacon can solve or heat up a bit; they also have some free space for them. foods: they have a rather large selection of finger food and we ordered their plate filled with most of their appetizers. this is a good option if they are in a fairly large group. I personally loved the chicken wings it was so well cooked to perfection that it simply melts in the mouth and comes out of the bones without much emotion. next on my recommended list is the wobbly fries it was just the kind I call it crispy and greasy, which goes perfectly with this prise beer. beer: the place is called from a background as a design house! and after its name there are some of the best beers they can have. they have some interesting beer on tap, the one that my eye was caught red loved it tasted really good and definitiv it worth trying it. they have many measures that begin with a 1/4 pint that I felt was perfect as they want to try a lot of beer when they are the beer lover. I personally did not see that I visited most places so far. this is a perfect place to meet friends or their office colleagues after a long working day."
