I completely was not expecting this restaurant to be so good! Went here with a friend to try their a la carte menu As it's located in the lower ground of the One Aldwych hotel, it's not easily seen from the street, which is a shame as they do amazing set lunch and dinner menus for super cheap prices( £16 2 courses - £20 3 courses ) Let's see - first I tried a starter of seared curried scallops on a smear of cauliflower puree with tiny cauliflower bhajis and a thin slice of cauliflower to decorate. The scallops were perfect - tender and subtle with the creamy cauliflower. Next I had lavender braised shoulder of lamb that fell into succulent strips served in a bolied potato, with four lean slices of rump of lamb with freshminted peas. Sublime - I dont know what else to say. If I could have licked that braised lamb off the plate without shaming my friend, I would have. Desserts were interesting - he got a tasting plate of chocolate fondant, summer berries in elderflower jelly and marscapone ice cream. I got a massive portion of caramelised apple tart with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. It was huge and so good - topped with a slice of apple and a vanilla pod. Added to the mix we had attentive service and sommelier help to choose some amazing wines. God I wish I'd written that New Zealand red down, but suffice it to say, champagne to start, a chardonnay with my starter, NZ red with my lamb, Ice wine with my dessert and a port for digestion and I as in heaven. I hope beyond hope that I get to go here again, the food was great, service excellent and atmosphere refined without being too stuffy. And it's on the doorstep of Covent Garden. read more
