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

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.
Not sure I would describe it as amazing food (in fact I wouldn't - it has been adequate to really nice) but I have always enjoyed meals at Joe Allen's just off Covent Garden. Easily passed it has a nice American buzz (set up to cater for the visiting actors darling)

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

    • bizarre responses from everyone but Cancerian 🤷🏾‍♀️ As an LL resident surely a perfectly normal enquiry in that one might wish to know who to look out for if lawless/feral kids are wreaking havoc? any distinguishing marks on the perpetrators? presumably the objection is that a physical description might reveal the alleged culprits as non-white? (nothing else makes sense with this bourgeois over-sensitivity). same botched thinking that causes police descriptions of suspects on the loose to omit this info  (top way to protect the public / solve the crime) FYI i'm a mixed-race female and interested in THE TRUTH. hence, i want to protect myself & my family against criminals. so please DESCRIBE the physical appearance of criminals or suspected criminals to help to keep us safe. thankyou.  "underlying agenda... strange" 😂😂😂 strange agenda to wish to be safe in my community. well played 🤯   working the nightshift here & getting mildly obsessed/infuriated with the peculiar responses. someone please explain how wishing to be able to attempt to identify, physically, the perpetrator(s) of an alleged local assault is "strange", with an "agenda"? God help us. (wait... "God"? must be a far-right religious maniac) "Unless there were distinctive features such as unusual clothing, how is that going to identify them"... green & purple mohican with accompanying buffalo 🦬 horns through the nose might do it; or simply hairstyle, skin colour, sartorial outfit... 🤔 "and even if it did, what would be the point, without photographic evidence that they had done anything wrong?" eyewitness reports? 😏    
    • Unless they were wearing school uniform with name tags otherwise children do change their clothes you know. 
    • I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all. 
    • You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.
