Farringdon on a Saturday Night

[LordshipLovely]

Any atmosphere?

Planning on dinner and drinks but not sure if it is too weekday/eve orientated?

around the exmouth market/ farringdon road area, there are plenty restaurants and bars you can try, a lot have outdoor seating where you can soak up the atmosphere (the italian places are fab in that area) (tu)

Dollar, Medcalf and Caravan are all great restaurants on Exmouth Market and all have a lovely atmosphere at the weekend.

OK, so if I aim for the Farringdon Road/Exmouth Market end instead of the Smithfield/Farringdon Tube end there should be lots of people about....

The Smithfields/Farringdon area is usually pretty busy on Saturdays too.

[RosieH]

Yes, agree with Jeremy. It's only the pubs on side streets that you're likely to find quiet.

[LordshipLovely]

Great, thanks for the advice. It's a hard life having so much choice about where to go...!

Moro on Exmouth market, definitely my favourite restaurant in London (but you have to book well in advance), Kick bars great too for a few beers/cocktails. But smithfield is also one of my favourite places.

Smiths of Smithfield is interesting different price bands on different floors - the higher you go the more polished the cooking and the higher the prices. I usually stick to the ground floor for a Sunday Brunch but dinners have been good in the upper reaches. Would also put in a claim for The Bleeding Heart - voted most romantic AND best business restaurant in 2007. It has a good back story and Bleading Heart Yard is where Little Dorrit used to live and visit in Dicken's novel.

Another vote for Moro

[Mick Mac]

The Bleeding Heart was disappointing the one time I went.

[RosieH]

Oh god, Moro, gooooood: nom nom nom nom nom
