Throwback Thursday!
Bouncing around between Internet cafés, apartments, and hotels it’s hard to find the time to post about everything that we love. One of our favorite places in London that really left an impact on our stomachs is Flat Planet! It a small café style pizzeria, serving organic spelt-flour flatbreads. The menu is small, and showcases their attention to detail. Translation: FLAVOR!
This place first caught Kyle’s eye as he passed it on his way to a casting and noticed the chef in the window making dough, and the long line of hungry patrons that wrapped around the block. Our first time stopping in we decided it would be best to share a single pizza. Megan ordered a Garlic Chicken flatbread; “Free-range chicken with lemon and thyme, sun-dried tomato, rose harissa, smoked chilli, with house-made garlic sauce and a handful of rocket on top.” It was large enough to split between two people, but too good to share! Within a minute or two it was gone, and Kyle was up at the counter ordering another one. This time we indulged in “El Diablo.” At only £4.50 a piece we felt like we were stealing… but didn’t feel too guilty because it was actually healthy!
Like many places in London, Flat Planet gives you the option of “Eat In” or “Take Away,” but we encourage you to eat in and enjoy the atmosphere and cute décor. Some of our favorite adornments were a guestbook yearning to be signed, antique World Map, the hodgepodge of chairs, unique lighting and a downstairs seating area, complete with a piano that insists on being played. We managed to eat here every time we were around Carnaby Street, and made excuses as to why we had to frequent the area whenever we were on the Central or Victoria Lines.
Our only regret is that we were unable to go back for one last “munch session” before our flight to Tenerife. Xo, K&M
