The Traditional English Restaurants of London

"My wife and I ate in Greig's before going onto the Theatre last Friday and we had such a pleasant evening that I thought I would have to write a short piece here. We didn't have a great deal of time so we were concerned whether we should miss out the starter on the fixed pre-theatre menue, but the very courteous head waiter assured us we would have plenty of time - and I'm very happy he did. We both had salmon, which was excellent, followed by one of the tastiest fillet steaks I have ever tasted! Service was impeccable, despite a busy restaurant (which made for a very pleasant atmosphere), and the coffees and real turkish delights were just that - a delight! This was just what a proper English restaurant should be and I thoroughly recommend it. We were actually early for the theatre, which was a great show, and an all-round good evening was had by all! "

"When we come to London, we always eat at least once at Greigs. The menu and the staff don't ever seem to change, so it must be a formula that works. Great steaks, great chips, great martinis! "
