Food: A portion of lasagne and a glass of Valpolicella and an espresso

Bond book appearance: Solo (2013). Bond eats this kind of lunch at the Café Picasso on the King’s Road, London, England.

Experience of 007 Travelers: Self-made

“Bond sat down at a pavement table outside the Café Picasso, his mind active and distracted. He looked at the menu and forced himself to concentrate and ordered a portion of lasagne and a glass of Valpolicella from the waitress. Calm down, he said to himself, this all happened a quarter of century ago – in another life. But the images he was summoning up were as fresh as if they had taken place last week. The fat glossy cherries, Dave Tozer’s grimacing face, the drifting scent of woodsmoke and the sound of conversing German voices – all coming back to him with the clarity of total recall.”

William Boyd: “Solo” (2013)
