Resto 42 Vecia Gina, Venice
The world's largest tapas on a perfect Venetian evening.
Resto 41 Restaurant du Musée d’Orsay, Paris
Having execrated the selfie generation I watched a revenue crushing queue form in the company of the waitress of the year. And my wife.
Resto 40 Sequana, Paris
Home grown veg is a winner, yum. Just make sure you've got all night.
Resto 39 Au 35, Paris
A lighter lunch than I would have liked but good service and atmosphere at Au 35.
Resto 38 St John Bread & Wine, Spitalfields
Sweetbreads, kohlrabi and pig skin. Food, service and décor that is thought through with comfort and pleasure in mind.
Resto 37 Walnut, Finsbury Park
A favourite pizzeria in Finsbury Park is fortunately replaced by something just as good in Walnut.
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.
