On the day I moved to the area I felt the need to walk around a bit and look for a nice restaurant to get something to eat. So I was walking down Abbey Road and after a few minutes I came across Poem Bar & Grill.
The restaurant looked nice and modern, the menu looked okay, so I popped in. It was already late and not too busy, but I instantly liked the restaurant. They have some modern paintings on the walls, played some music that matched the atmosphere of the restaurant and because they had a few doors open, it was warm with a nice and gentle breeze. In general the interior is modern and quite simple and clean.
The food and wine were delicious! I went for their set menu and chose the spicy lamb sausages as starter and chicken with frites, as they call it, as main course. Despite I am not a big fan of lamb, I really liked these sausages. The chicken was tasty an came with a well balanced sauce. I also got a huge bowl of these yummy thin frites.
Although I told the waiter when I ordered, that I don't know yet what dessert I want, I finally got the standard dessert. One standard dessert is included in the set menu, for the others you have to pay a bit more. Anyway, the dessert I got was very good, so I don't mind that I would have liked to choose something different. I guess I will go there some more times, so there are enough opportunities to try out other desserts...
I read that they also offer breakfast with Jazz sometimes - that sounds good and I can easily tell that this was my first, but for sure not my last visit to Poem Bar & Grill! :) read more
