Resto 42 Hiba, Holborn
Sat in a booth and despite the noise we had a convivial chat in the company of a marvellous mixture of people. Recommended.

A weird one this - I had an excellent dining experience (that cost me a packet) yet I couldn't wait to get back to my usual milieu amongst the Pitmen of The Whippet for a digestif and a good chat about home.
A condescending waiter and underwhelming food. Not a great combination.
Is Kingsway the most functional eating street in London? It has all the chains in a relentlessly mid-range bracket and in the mid-range of the mid-range sits Bill's.
