Friday Night Dinner: Pascor
From the archive: We visited Pascor in January 2023
Right on Kensington High Street, near the Design Museum is Pascor. A Levantine "Fire" restaurant, which we picked as our first place to go to in the new year.
The restaurant is over two levels, with the lower part smaller, and close to a chilly door. Luckily we were sat in the roomier first floor, with cosy decorations. The restaurant is a tapas-y affair, and we shared the Challah Bread, the Reverse Tabbouleh Salad, a whole roasted aubergine, and the evening’s special: fish cakes, which were really fish cake croquettes. The dishes all came with sauces. Although they were fairly simple, they all packed a great flavour. The dishes came out as they were ready, and they all went great with the Lebanese red wine that we picked (a Château Ksara Le Prieuré Rouge 2018).
We also did indulge in desserts. My wife picked a Coconut “Beirut Meets Bangkok” Malabi, which was lovely sweet and moist with strong hints of pineapple. I choose the Chocolate Crémeux which was rich and indulgent with a flavourful blueberry sauce.
My only regret is not picking one (or two!) more dishes to share! Which is all the more reason to return, and sample some other delicious things that we saw coming out of the kitchen — perhaps when the weather is a little better.

Another interesting take on forms of intelligent life.
A fourth one is going to get released later this year.

It's good to see that more and more people are realising that the Web can be for-good, without all the enshittification.
That's why I'm happy to see endeavours like phpc.tv springing up, and helping out where I can.
Taking back the control of how the Web is for people, by people, without big tech making it all shit.
