Dallas Burger Joint arrives in London

Lisbonites have been quietly obsessed with Dallas for years. Now, Londoners can finally get a taste of the action, the laidback Portuguese burger has made its UK debut in Shoreditch this month. Landing in one of East London’s most characterful neighbourhoods, Dallas’ new 48-cover spot brings its no-nonsense burgers, nostalgic interiors and distinctly unpolished charm to London, without trying too hard to fit in. That’s because Dallas has a thing for places with a bit of history. Rather than hunting down shiny, purpose-built spaces, the cult burger joint seeks out unassuming, faded and often overlooked neighbourhood spots, breathing new life into them while keeping their original character firmly intact.

In Shoreditch, that means giving a former pub a fresh chapter rather than wiping the slate clean. The original façade and architectural details have been preserved, while inside, mustard and orange accents meet rich cherry-toned wood panelling. Walls are hung with work by photographers including William Eggleston, Devlin Claro and Martin Parr, while mosaic floors, Formica tables, vintage lighting and Portuguese tiles create the feel of a slightly time-warped mid-century café.

And the same thinking carries through to the menu. Dallas isn’t interested in burger theatrics: no skyscraper stacks and no burger that requires an engineering degree to eat. Instead, the menu is deliberately streamlined, sticking to the essentials and doing them very, very well. At the heart of it all are 165g beef patties made from a secret blend of three premium cuts, supplied by Aubrey Allen, a Royal Warrant holder that sources from the top 1% of British beef. And, of course, there’s no need to miss out if you don’t eat meat: any burger on the menu can be made with a vegan patty.

Dallas Shoreditch is the beginning of a new chapter for the Lisbon favourite. Same no-nonsense burgers, same laidback attitude, new postcode.

Address: 138 Shoreditch High Street, London E1 6JE

RUSH Hair Salon at Westfield – Review

Choosing the right salon to get your hair coloured can always be a difficult task, but I’ve always found the hair stylists at Rush to be welcoming, friendly and more importantly very talented, so when I was offered the chance to get my hair re-coloured at Rush of course I jumped at the chance!

I visited the Rush located in Westfield Stratford, just the place to do a bit of retail therapy in the morning before an afternoon session at the salon. When I arrived, I received a warm welcome from the team, shortly after I was whisked away to a chair at the back and as I waited for my hair stylist to arrive, I sat enjoying my complimentary tea.

I spoke through my desire to have the brassy orange tones of my balayage to be re-dyed, resulting in more of an ash blond look, along with getting rid of those pesky grey strands of hair. Josh my hair stylist, talked me through the colour he could achieve, which would work with the different colour tones in my hair. After a couple of hours with my hair in foil paper, Josh washed out the hair dyed and applied a toner, followed by a shampoo and conditioner, not before getting a relaxing head massage! That was the point where I truly could sit back, close my eyes and relax.

After the blow dry, I was thrilled to see what an excellent job Josh had done, the ends of my hair was a cool ash blonde, just as I requested, bye bye brassy tones! My hair looked vibrant, sleek and shiny, my only regret was not organising a night out after to show off my new locks!
