Been down the Time Out suggestions and the like

Caf? Monico

Zedel is good but underground - if you ask for a window seat at Monico its nice

[womanofdulwich]

zedel is good and the service is quick.

When you're watching the clock the West End can be a big place. Which theatre?

[alex_b]

I like Tokyo Diner, it's cheap, quick and good food, but it might not be the type of ambience you're looking for.

Zedel is great and incredibly good value.

Which theatre is it?

[Robert Poste's Child]

Joe Allen.

[malumbu]

Piccadilly so anywhere is fine, Covent Garden, Soho, etc

[NewWave]

Polpo

I like the look of Zedl but Ive found the food very mediocre tbh

[cella]

Fumo or Cote, both in St Martins Lane.

This is my favourite

Did you check out the Evening Standard lunch offers which are still running until about 10th February. Various prices from ?15 for two courses with wine. I have used this offer and found it good value.

[malumbu]

Thanks all, I checked out all of the suggestions. Family from out of town who aren't adventurous and were put off by the Lebanese Bakery without even checking out the menu http://thelebanesebakery.com/homepage-london/#menu

That's on the cheap and cheerful side

Passed the Salisbury on SML which was always a fall back but whilst not full everyone was taking up twice the space no easy room - reasonably priced pub fare.

So did the Zedel as it ticked lots of boxes but will try out some of the others when next in town.

I worked near Traf Square ten years ago but of course everything changes.

and how was it?

It's good but overpriced. The Delaunay is better for similar food.

But it has both snails and moules which are my niece's favourites so got to give it a go for that reason alone. Can't risk losing top aunt status, not with my birthday coming up.

Not sure i would ompare the two. Delaunay is a bit stuffy imo.

Go for a Angus steak house, they are all over Piccadilly. Never been but "Hard Rock" cafe is popular. Have a lovely evening.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Or how about dim sum? Dumplings Legend make their own and they're huge and delicious. Not sure about anything else on the menu though.
