Where shall we meet?: Daquise, Thurloe St
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you like your gloom on the eastern European side, this outpost of exile on the doorstep of South Kensing-ton Tube station is essential visiting. Daquise is a time capsule: lino floor, Formica tables, discs of stained glass in the
window and solitary old people being treated with great respect and kindness as they drink their milky coffee. Food has that Continental winter feel: black puddings, stuffed cabbage, high-flavoured sausages, all with ice-cream scoops of mashed potato. You can also get smashed here on flavoured vodkas and help yourself to cakes of a sort that you thought had disappeared forever. It sounds terrible and is, in fact, divine.
Daquise, 20 Thurloe St SW7 (071-584 4944).
Tomorrow: I Can't Believe it's Yoghurt, Leicester Sq W1.
