Restaurant 5 Timmy Green, Victoria
Timm-eh! Turns out to be high quality and excellent service. Recommended.
Restaurant 1 The Swan, Bankside
At Bankside for the Wanamaker production of Swive it was an improbable first time at the Swan for us for the first resto of 2020. We were nearly the first arrivals, save for a couple by the window. So it was a bit of a surprise to be seated at a table right next to…
Resto 43 The Greyhound Café, Fitzrovia
Good Thai street food with proper heat - recommended.
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.
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 29 Luce e Limone, Gray’s Inn
Maybe Otto’s would have been a better punt after all.
