Wow! The menu at 13th Note has changed a LOT since I last visited, and I can't wait to go back. I was hugely impressed. I also can't believe I've never reviewed it - what's wrong with me! The 13th Note deserves high praise. The surroundings seem to have changed too - I remember the 13th Note as a slightly ramshackle, mis-matched and sticky table place, with fairly bogging toilets. NOT ANY MORE! The dining area at the back has been decked out in a lovely relaxing shade of green, and the art (for sale) makes for interesting things to look at. And with all the natural light coming in from the massive side windows, it really is a relaxing place to stop and have a breather. I'd say their menu is extensive, with many delicious dishes to choose from, and everything is very clearly marked to indicate dietary requirements or allergies. This includes the extensive wine and beer menu - all marked to indicate whether it is vegan or not (and a very pleasing amount is). It was about 130pm ish, and as I hadn't had breakfast or lunch, I was feeling in need of serious sustenance. There were so many things that I fancied, that rather than order a starter and a main, I ordered three plates from the starters/sides/snacks pages of the menu. The Mushroom Crostini was just amazing. Drizzled with truffle oil and served on good fluffy toast and a bed of rocket, I absolutely loved it. I could eat it every day. I also had the Lebanese Potato Harra, which came with a warm and soft flatbread. I also had The Note Salad - a substantial side, with carrot, beetroot, red onion, cucumber, chickpeas and toasted seeds. In an inspired moved, I stuffed some of it into the flatbread, as I do like a warmed salad, and had the rest with the potato harra - it made for a delicious combination. Fair to say, after that lot, I won't be needing much dinner either! I was served by two different people, both really pleasant and chatty. One of them mentioned that there is a new head chef, and I'd say they're onto a winner with him. I really appreciated seeing so many healthy, vegetable based dishes to choose from, and I am going to be very happy working my way through this menu. read more
