  • Great for fine wines

  • Good for special occasions
Our beliefs are simple - in a world full of so much terrific food and wine, why settle for a slab of quiche and a glass of boring plonk? Our food is innovative, fresh and tasty... and available at all hours. The wine list speaks for itself - "Legendary for its iconoclastic notes. It doesn"t necessarily tell you what the wine tastes like - you have to make your mind up. It's there to provoke interest", says Harpers, the wine trade magazine. As Barossa wine making supremo John Glaetzer puts it so succinctly, "Don, this is not just a wine list - it's a book". And a readable one at that!

    We booked a table, always advisable, for lunch on a Wednesday. It happened to be quiet at that time. The service was really good. We all thought the food was delicious and surprisingly good value for such a central London location. We drank the Provence rosé - very drinkable - and tried some lovely new cheeses. Been before when it was busier and the experience was just as good. Highly recommend it.
