OK, where do you recommend for a great restaurant to go for a nice meal for two in London? I was thinking of Chez Bruce in Wandsworth or the Narrow in Limehouse but they're both booked up so any similar suggestion would be warmly welcomed. Preferably somewhere which is relaxed with superb food rather than somewhere 'stuffy'


Thanks

Try Hakkasan, michelin starred chinese but ultra informal - really great atmosphere, off Tott Ct Rd


Wolseley a favourite also


The Harvester on LL is always good if you like the innovation of a germ ridden salad cart

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I can recommend 2 Indian restaurants which are a bit different from the norm and the food is fab.


La Porte des Indes - 32 Bryanston Street, W1H 7EG (behind Marble Arch tube).Tel: 0207 224 0055. Am going there again on Friday, you need to book as gets very busy.


Kasturi - 57 Aldgate High Street, EC3. Tel: 0207 480 7402

The restarant upstairs at the Design Museum (Blueprint Cafe) is where I had my best meal in London. Amazing views of the Thames and Tower Bridge, and as for the food... sublime.


Incidentally, the day before our visit I rang to tell them the person I'd be dining with was a vegan. When I arrived they'd put together a special menu which they'd clearly done specially for us. It's one of the few 'posh' restaurants I've been where the staff made us feel like we were the important ones - not them.

Scotts in Mayfair. here.


A bit of star spotting is essential to a girl's good night out.


The food is exceptional, and the value p1$$es on Claridges. There's even seats at the bar if the going gets tough, and you'll still be impressed. Oysters are just kinda sexy.

James, v impressed by the Blueprint Cafe idea. Yes also to Andrew Edmunds, but it can feel cramped and a wee bit dingy even upstairs albeit in a romantic way. I'd say don't go at all if the table's downstairs. Wolsely yes but cheesy. Sort of swanky, but you can feel like a prole in a nobs place.

the Orrery's very fine if it's romance you're after - food's delicious (it's a cliche but the chocolate fondant I had there was one of the sexiest things I've ever eaten)


Or for a more decadent ambience, Les Trois Garcons. gorgeous food. sumptuous and slightly deranged interior

Canteen in Spitalfields - excellent, British comfort food (roast dinners, pies, jelly and ice cream) - really friendly staff too! It gets very busy in the evening though so you'd need to book.

      Is there a viable alternative to Sadiq?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Britain First took things to another extreme: "London is fast becoming a Third World cesspit, where crime is rampant and radical Islamist extremists dominate the streets!"  Probably the best outcome for Scanlon is that Orpington returns to Kent, although that would be unfair both on the residents of Kent, and many who live in the London Borough of Bromley irrespective of who the voted for. Hooray for Count Binface eh?

      Clean Air Dulwich - who are they?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I don't think attacking an academic is particularly helpful.  The work was commissioned through a proper process.  Findings similarly would have been rigorously examined.  Government weren't particularly happy with the outcome and tried to bury it, but somebody in government thought this wrong and leaked it.  Government put their spin on it, which governments do, but the data gave some positive outcomes. My issue is with those who continue to drive whatever barriers (physical and others) are put in their place.  Hopefully with time more will use cars less, share journeys, decide that the journey is not essential eg working from home instead etc.  CleanAirDulwich, from my take, are mainly pushing active transport; one more journey walked is one less car on the road.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By Froglander · Posted

      An improvement but I wonder if a patient can also call ( or walk-in) no to make an appointment in advance or just via the app.  I still want to know about their *rule* that you can only request a referral on two particular days in the week.
