Try the crab pasta - it? the bee? knees!

Browns has one of the finest festive fayres around for a very merry Christmas and is guaranteed to get your party in a merry mood. Take the top quality dishes and professional staff, add to that the stylish surroundings and your Christmas package is complete. Christmas party bookings are now being taken, and they can accommodate celebrations on every scale; from intimate lunches to high capacity evening parties. The Christmas menu this year is both traditional and alternative with vegetarian options on every course. The Browns menu begins with the choice of four delicious starters - Red Onion Tart, Smoked Salmon Timbale, Roast Tomato Soup or Roasted Figs and Air Dried Ham Salad. Then, take your pick from the obligatory Roast Turkey with all the trimmings, Vegetable Suet Pudding, Fillet of Beef on Toasted Brioche or Baked Monkfish - all accompanied by a selection of winter vegetables. Traditional Plum pudding, Chocolate Fondant Cake or Vanilla Panacotta follow, finishing off with some mini mince pies.

We were a little apprehensive going to a banquet as I think you would normally go as a group. We were very pleasantly surprised we sat with a large group of English women three Swedish couples and one German couple. What a marvellous time we had entertainment, food & drink was of excellent quality and in abundance. Cant wait to go back

Excellent food, well presented. Expensive, but worth it!

The first time I went to Baraka I had such a wonderful experience that I couldn? wait to go back again. its such a wonderful restaurant which is tailor made for the Muslim community (since it has separate seating area for ladies and has HMC certified Halal meat). It has to be said that the food and quality service is excellent. If you are planning to have a meal in Baraka and like fish I would recommend you try 'Hilsha'.

Try the chicken wings! Crispy and delectable. We went back for seconds. And could have had thirds. Fully intend to go back soon!

It ain't much to look at but this is a hidden gem. The chef/owner Fabrizio is very friendly and his cooking would not be out of place in a top class award winning Italian restaurant. He is passionate about what he does. If you ask him for a selection of starters he will whip up a selection of dishes in next to no time. The food is delicious! It is quite cheap too. You should try it.

I have visited the restaurant twice, and would be glad to return. The food has been unbeatable. The place is family-run, and that seems to imply that the training is not equally good for all members of the staff. The ambience is a little too colourful: The decoration might be taken to be vulgar in some places. For people with a reduced eyesight, it is difficult to read the menu at the table. Ask for a bigger candle. However, never mind this criticism. Go and eat.

An excellent restaurant and wine bar with great views over Leadenhall Market. The food is a mixture of traditional and Italian with a few innovations thrown in.

Had dinner twice into the last month. absolutely delicious, fresh produce beautifully presented, very efficient and friendly staff.( new chefs) 2 persons escargot & shrimp cocktail both divine. smoked haddock and beef bourgonie coffee and petit fours( hand made ) 2 cokes ( this go better with coca-cola) total £51.00 spent £35 in a pizza bar trying to eat coloured cardboard. strongly recommend !!!!

I've been going to London for many years and Le Boudin Blanc always offers great French food and atmosphere. Perhaps a little noisy and cramped for a business dinner, it is a perfect spot for a dinner for two or a date restaurant.

We had a really relaxed evening, enjoying truly delicious food and wine, at very reasonable prices. The restaurant is comfortable, decorated with North African artefacts and lamps, and the service is excellent. We will definitely be back, with friends.

Fantastic pie, amazing mash and a very friendly owner made our dining experience a very enjoyable one. Next time we'll head there earlier and try a full English breakfast as the neighbouring table's looked to die for!

Probably my favourite restaurant in Central London. The food is excellent and imaginative, the service is attentive yet unobtrusive and the atmosphere is first-rate- think village restaurant in Bordeaux. Better service, better food and nicer atmosphere than restaurants costing 3 times as much, I can't recommend this charming bistro highly enough, and it's right in the middle of Soho. Try it tonight.

We first ate at SUKHO when it had only been open a week and the paint was literally still drying, and cannot recommend it highly enough .We have seen it prosper and become ever more popular by the day. The food is exceptional and far surpasses THE Blue Elephant . Having recommended the restaurant to many friends we have never had any one say that they were disappointed as is so often the case, please don? take my word for it go and try it for yourself I promise you will not be disappointed.

Haweli of Clapham reopening under new management by the award winning restaurant haweli of Belmont in Sutton surrey.

I tottered into Bar du Marche at the end of a long shopping trip...at 3:00pm on a Saturday, having missed lunch, tired, very hungry... I loved it. To what restaurant can one go where even when they screw up your order, you're still willing to sing their praises? I'm sure the coconut chicken would have been lovely, but the chicken in peppercorn sauce that they brought me was a carefully prepared perfect portion, and full of subtle flavour. The other courses I had were a squash-based cream vegetable soup that was peppery and fresh, with just a faint touch of squashy sweetness, and the dessert, a marzipan and pear tart, had crisp pastry and a great balance of acid and sweet., While I ate, I sat under the impassive gaze of Patrick, the owner (?) and host -- who has the air of a Chinese temple's stylized stone lion, keeping a stern eye on intruders. By the time my meal was over, though, the stone had melted. Apparently I met his approval. I'm sure you will as well. I loved this restaurant; I'm taking six friends back there with me, tonight.

it was one of the best places i have be to it was great
