The Traditional English Restaurants of London

"Very special dishes, the best I've seen when I was in London."

"This sophisticated, quiet restaurant is in a residential road away from the main shopping streets. You can sit on the pavement terrace in good weather. Food is modern British in style, beautifully presented, and enjoyable. My roast lamb was pink and tender, wines by the bottle and glass offer a wide choice, cheeses were great, and service is friendly and competent. Worth seeking out."

"Lunchtime, a Wednesday: set course lunch, £12.50. For this you get 2 (two) baby squid
stuffed with about twenty grains of risotto each. Main course: char-grilled chicken with
potatoes and white beans. The potatoes came in little cubes and, bizarrely, half of them were
undercooked to the point of crunchiness. The chicken was fine. The dessert - panna cotta --
was fine. The service, despite a not-very-busy restaurant, was slow enough for us to have to
try and attract attention every time we were ready to order anything. I've been there a few
times. Today was my last. It’s now quarter past four and I’m hungry."

"The food is the best I have tasted in a long time. The chefs are amazingly good; the starters especially were delicious."

"This is a wonderful place, the food is very good and in good size portions. On the top of that the staff is very friendly and provide an excellent service. The head-barman and the general manager of the place work together to make sure that the wine list is very nice."
