Resto #4 Quê Mę
A full room on an early Saturday evening (in contrast to La Porchetta a couple of doors along) showed that Quê Me has successfully cracked the price/quality equation for this stretch of restos, where the competition is fierce.
Resto #3, The Wharf, South Bank
Good fish at The Wharf on the South Bank plus Vanessa Redgrave getting agitated over a self-inflicted mic problem.
Resto #2, Kanada-Ya
Beats Shoryu round the corner for broth and peace. Oh, and dry humping.
Restaurants of 2016 – the round up
A round up of the best and the worst of 2016. Le Voltaire takes top prize but who will be the stinker?
Review #111 Rowley’s, St James’s
Chequers, gin, beef, conviviality with a smattering of Stewart Lee, Mark E Smith and Torture Garden. Three hours of pure pleasure.
Review #110 North Sea Fish Restaurant, Bloomsbury
Last night a fish bar saved my life. Well, kind of.
Review #108 Bistro Aix, Crouch End
I can't wait to go back to Bistro Aix in the New Year and take a look at the à la carte - it's a place worth saving for a celebration.
Review #107 Hanoi Phø*, Green Lanes
Hot Nutside Vietnamese dining? Focus on the food, ignore Elton and you'll be okay.
Review #106 Autograf Grill, Green Lanes
It's a top value all-you-can-eat pigfest at Green Lanes' finest Polish restaurant.
Review #105 Salt Yard, Goodge Street
Crocodile eyeballs and a Carol Voldemort reference? It's an IACGMOOH laden account of an excellent lunch at Salt Yard.
