Resto 6 Selale, Green Lanes
All in all as good as any similar establishment in the area while having a little more of a feel of a proper night out than some.
Resto 5 Viet Ngon, Stroud Green
Good quality Vietnamese eats and a pleasant surprise on the beer front.
Resto 4 The Wooden Fender, Ardleigh
On the back of a battering at the hands of Ardleigh we repaired to the local pub for a chat with the opposition and some grub. Roast salmon was very good with plenty of spuds but a slight paucity of veg. Not quite up to the Swan’s standards but still good value for money. 7/10

Resto 8 Brasserie Zédel, Piccadilly
After the seeing the excellent Spilliaerts exhibition at the RA I'd booked Zédel to see how one of the more up-market groups was handling the Covid thing. And eat some good grub too, natch.
Resto 1 Balconies Restaurant, Covent Garden
Indifference versus the cockmonster. Oh, and lots of wine.
