Gourmand Gunno

Gourmand Gunno is the nom de cuisine Alex Gunz has used since he started reviewing restaurants in 2012. A combination of work, travel and social commitments plus a nudge from his wife (the ‘long-suffering vegetarian dining comrade’ cited in many reviews) set him off on the reviewing trail.
