Went for a team dinner and had a great experience. The food was fresh, tasty, portions were generous, and incredibly well priced. Great variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, and I absolutely loved my mocktail. Fresh and tangy. Chef Mohsin was very accommodating to colleagues' dietary requirements and adjusted dishes so that everyone had a delicious meal. Siam, our waiter, was very polite, very smiley, and very engaged with every member of the team. It was a very tailored approach. Overall, great experience - would good there again and recommend to others too. I even dare to say their frites were better than McDonalds' (and that is no little thing)!

What a great place to have dinner! It is also open for breakfast & lunch. We eat here frequently and always enjoy the food & atmosphere. BRYAN, SIAM and head chef MOHSEIN,, are very professional, kind, caring & ensure we want for nothing. The food is excellent, & amongst our favourites are the onion soup, oysters, salads, for starters, followed by the chateaubriand, caesars salad & risotto. The burger is also very tasty. Desserts are delicious as well, we tend to choose different ones, however the lemon sorbet is the best we have ever eaten. It is very easy to park right outside after 18.30 & only a short walk from Farringdon station.
