Resto 37 Osteria London, Barbican
Good Italian food at Osteria.
Resto 36 The Green Room, South Bank
An incompetent waiter prompts a trip down memory lane.
Resto 35 Le Mercury, Islington
Good food followed by an hour of Trotskyite propaganda delivered with all the charm of a carriage full of soccer hooligans beating up your grandma.
Resto 34 The Wallace, Marylebone
The room is beautifully light, even on a crappy November day. It's got to be one of the most elegant dining rooms in London at mid-price.
Resto 33 Bryn Williams, Somerset House
The service was good - charmingly wonky, I like that. Other people paying these kinds of prices might prefer to cross the road to the Delaunay to seek the kind of standard they're used to paying for. For myself, I'm not sure I'd walk past Spring, which is just across the courtyard and in my experience does this kind of thing better.
Resto 31 The Otter, Otterbourne
Mass, taste, juice. A good burger.
Resto 30 Huis, Southsea
Every athlete knows that the way to prepare for a ten mile race is to drink 6 pints and eat like a Belgian. Which is why I found myself in Huis the evening before the Great South Run.
