Kinoya Ramen – Harrods dining hall review

Kinoya Ramen harrods dining hall review

I have recently had another wonderful experience in Harrods dining hall. My friend suggested to try this ramen restaurant for lunch as she heard great things. And she was not wrong. I am so happy she suggested this place as I have never tried it before and I already know I want to come back.

The atmosphere

The space as you may know just when passing by is stunning. The whole dining hall looks classy and chic and each restaurant has a dedicated space with staff. The atmosphere is always buzzing and I love that. I also recommend to book but you can always try your luck as walk in. However the place got busier and busier. They were so professional and so accommodating for us despite having two toddlers. They provided high chairs and also gave us table where we could comfortably park our push chairs.

The menu and the food

The menu is very simple with some starters and choice of the ramens. I opted for the chicken ramen with no extras and that costs 30 £. Yes definitely much more expensive than most ramens I had in the past. However the taste is not comparable. The flavours of this were beyond. We ordered some rice and beef for children which I tried and also so well flavoured and stunning quality. If you come here they have beyond delicious starter with Aubergine and the flavours were out of this world. I am still thinking of it today. I wish I knew the recipe so I could recreate it at home.

The price and what to expect

As I mentioned before this is not a budget dining experience however you get what you pay for. Our bill for 2 starters, 2 ramen, 1 meal for children and soft drinks was 180 £ with service charge included.

However it is an incredible treat so if you are a Ramen lover I highly recommend.

Net-a-Porter Spring under 150 £

Net-a-Porter is one of those shopping destination where shoppers may think they cannot afford even pair of socks. However the website stocks so many great pieces even as low as 50 £. You can really upgrade your wardobe and get the luxury shopping experience.

Another thing I love about them is that in some locations like London for example you can get the items on the same day which is amazing. Their return process is also fantastic.

SHOP AFFORDABLE

You can shop more affordable of course when the sales hit but also so many of their New IN are well priced. Their buyers are fantastic as they really hit the nail when it comes to the stock. If you are looking to upgrade your capsule wardrobe you can do that and if you want trendy you can also find incredible items.

If you are thinking also to invest in a new bag but do not want to spend much I have great tips for you. Some of the bags would work incredible well with these picks.

I personally would love to get more of the capsule wardrobe items that are good for every day. If I think about it I do school runs the most and usually opt for very low key outfits like t-shirts and leggings with trainers or cosy tracksuits.

However, I love the idea of dressing up for events, lunches with friends or perhaps dinners so I wanted to include few more dress up items.

10 BAGS UNDER 500 £ TO SHOP FOR SPRING

BAGS UNDER 500 £ FOR SPRING

If you are looking for quality bags for spring under 500 £ I have your back. If you are a bag lover and your budget does not stretch to reach to top designer bags I have good news.

There are many bags that are incredible quality and so well made but you do not have to rob a bank. Yes for some a bag for several hundreds of pounds can still be a dream however we hope some of these may inspire you to save your pennies and finally get that dream bag of yours. And if you are looking to upgrade your spring closet on the budget here are our favourite pieces under 100 £.

WHERE TO SHOP

I love brands like Demellier, Strathberry or Tory Burch. They make lovely quality models and really play with colours to create chic and timeless designs. Strathberry is stocked in some of London’s department stores but they also have a boutique on Kings Road if you would like to check the quality in person.

I am also so in love with the Sezane Milo bag. I can really vouch for this bag and have been wearing it a lot myself. The size is perfect and you can adjust the length of the strap. I have the snake print one but also love the colours especially burgundy. It is timeless and chic and I always get so many compliments.

CELEBS SPOTTED WEARING THESE BRANDS

Princess of Wales as well as the Duchess of Sussex have been both spotted wearing bags by both Demellier and Strathberry. I am not surprised at all as they are so easy to wear and whether you are more into elegant styling, casual or edgy they will compliment your outfits so well. These brands are also popular amongst top influencers.

Here are the 10 bags you can shop to upgrade your spring wardrobe.

20 Spring items under 100 £

If you are like me then after Christmas you start to dream of spring. So here I am sitting on the sofa in January dreaming of warmer and longer days but also about all those coffee breaks outside.

THE SAMBA OBSESSION CONTINUES

And what better time there is to plan your spring wardrobe. I am not a somebody that builds up a brand new closet each season however I like to get few new items to spruce things up. Adidas Samba is a trainer that I actually thought was hideous last year but it really starts to grow on me. I was not getting the whole Tiktok viral obsession but do you know what sometimes I wait and wait and eventually end up liking the item. I actually love it not only with cool looks like you can see in the first picture but also certain type of skirt. Leopard print is another big trend and yes there are super cute YSL heels but this is more about updating your wardrobe under 100 £.

WHAT TO SHOP? YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO BIG

So bring some colour in, get that faux leather trench or cute patent loafers. You will also wear over and over cute sweatshirt or knit. Check your wardrobe and make sure you have enough of capsule items like jacket or skirt that goes with everything and invest in accessories. Even a small item like sunglasses can really be a nice touch. You can play with colours and texture. I am definitely thinking of investing in croc leather pants or skirt.

And if you want to splurge more and maybe invest in the bag to go with these more affordable outfits you have my support.
