Resto 36 Hanna Maria, Finsbury Park
Slightly chaotic but good pizza in a bosky den.
Resto 35 The Oystermen Bar & Grill, Covent Garden
It is a good place. The waiter/manager told me they'd been open for three weeks and I hope they make a go of it. Covent Garden has an awful lot of crap but the Oystermen aren't involved in that scene, they cook straight up good food and serve it well at a reasonable price for the area. I hope they thrive.
Resto 34 Chaseside Indian Restaurant, Enfield
Strange meeting with a puritanical Enfieldonian and flat beer. Not a Standard night out.
Resto 33 Pall Mall Fine Wines, Haymarket
Wine and food for under a tenner a head! Recommended.
Resto 32 Great Court, British Museum
Much improved after coming under Benugo's management if you're in the BM the Great Court is worth booking.
Resto 31 Millennium Balti, Leamington Spa
It's a spa town face off as Millennium Balti goes up against King Baba in the battle to be the Asian taste sensation of Lem.
Resto 30 Café Gandolfi, Glasgow
An excellent culinary farewell to Glasgow where I failed to have a bad or even mediocre experience all the time I was stayed.
Resto 29 Paesano, Glasgow
Pizza so good it nearly made me cry.
Resto 28 Café Andaluz, Glasgow
Owing to the travails of a 5 hour train journey followed by pre-conference socialising my exact recollection of Café Andaluz is rather vague. My chief recollection is of a lot of food for your investment (set menu of six dishes for £16 quid or so a head) and decent wine. I can't remember the service so it must have been fine.
Resto 27 Assaggetti, Haymarket
On a sunny Monday lunchtime we strolled to Assaggetti tempted by their lunchtime offer of two courses for £16.95. It was a good choice.
