It’s just on the Fulham side of the bridge on the King’s Road over the railway line from Clapham Junction to Willesden Junction so is just within range of Chelsea supporters looking for a pre-match bite. They were very much in evidence last Saturday and before we left at about 2pm had attracted security on the door. The menu is described as British basque and for weekend brunch features all the brunch staples of granola, eggs Benedict, full English plus rarebit, then steak tartare, pumpkin and goat’s cheese, fish du jour and spiced crab on toast. Not sure where shakshuka fits in or cassoulet de Toulouse which is not quite in the pays du Basque. Mixed starters of ham croquettes and chorizo were not only superb but generous in quantity. The fish du jour mackerel came with a satisfyingly marinated beetroot salad but not exactly a steal at £22. The cassoulet, however, turned out to be the piece de resistance, featuring slices of morteau sausage, black pudding, confit duck and white beans. A pity we didn’t have time for dessert.

Entre los restaurantes turcos de Green Lanes, este pequeño bar de tapas es una visita obligada. La comida, de normas, tales como tomar las típicas tapas que vieras Braves (suculentos vieiras en una cremosa salsa de hierbas, el plato estrella para nosotros) eran todo estaba delicioso, fresca y sabrosa. Servicio rápido combinado con una buena selección de vinos, cócteles y una sorprendentemente ley razonable, quiero decir que volveremos otra vez para probar algunos otros platos. Lo único malo del Riverdance incesante pero sin duda en el fondo.

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée dans ce restaurant sophistiqué aux plats savoureux. Le menu possède de nombreux plats sans gluten. Le personnel était agréable et attentif. Nous reviendrons.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, unfortunately my hopes were shattered. Let me start by saying I had received fantastic service at the run up to our dinner when I queried the menu or the dress code and that is where the positives end. We arrived for our pre-theatre dinner a little late and apologised. Once we were seated we realised it didn't make a jot of difference as we were the only people in the entire restaurant. I asked if they were expecting more people to which they replied yes it's early. Looking back we should have left at this point as it was a huge red flag. We ordered cocktails as I'd seen some great cocktails on their social media. What we got was utterly disappointing. They were served in some plastic tumblers which made us feel like we were toddlers. Worst of all, they just didn't taste nice. The flavours were all wrong and they didn't go together. Something important seemed missing They were not cheap at 16 pounds a pop either. So we decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and when our starter was served tucked in. My husband took one mouthful and looked disgusted. He said "I'll eat anything, you know me but I just don't want to eat this. I tried it and again it was just not balanced at all. All style and no substance. My starter was edible enough so I ate it as I was hungry but it was not what I would call tasty. Mains arrived and we considered asking to pay up and cut our losses but we stuck it out. Hoping for a change with our mains. It didn't come. My husband had the chicken shawarma, which could have come from a kebab shop. I had the trout, which looked and tasted more like salmon and which was not cooked properly in the middle. We'd had enough we asked for the bill. We stated our issues and asked for the 12.5 service charge to be removed as this added insult to injury. There was no attempt to apologise or rectify our evening. We left, glad that we were out of that restaurant. The service was poor, no one asked us at any point how our food was as we would have told them. The food was beyond poor. The drinks were poor. Added to this there was zero atmosphere in the restaurant as we were the only customers. A full house of disappointment. Avoid if you have any tastebuds or taste.
