The premises of this restaurant was a very grand Edwardian bank building. It has to be said that St James is an area of central London in which grand buildings are not in short supply, nor are restaurants...

All the fun of an Indian fair on Shaftesbury Avenue. The stretch of Shaftesbury Avenue above Cambridge Circus, has been an infernal black spot on the dining out map of the West End......

It’s always slightly unnerving returning to a restaurant a long time after you gave it a rave review. Will standards have slipped?

From the outside, the lower case noble rot is also quite low key. I must have walked past it several times - I've certainly spent a few afternoons in the pub opposite - without ever noticing this restaurant and private members’ club. However, while the private members club is achingly trendy (a quick glance at the guest list featured several supermodels and more men called Tarquin than you've ever dreamed possible), the restaurant shouldn't be ignored.

As the name suggests, Notting Hill Brasserie is a neighbourhood restaurant. It’s just a very good restaurant for a very good neighbourhood. This means it’s not cheap but you know something? Neither is the local clientele. The last time I saw so.....

Restaurant reviewers really would like to be able to say every place is wonderful and enumerate the multiple virtues of their dining experiences, if for no other reason than the fact that it would mean all their dining experiences actually were entirely wonderful. Meanwhile........

A restaurant with its art in the right place.Not all parts of London’s West End are created equally. The Haymarket has theatres and cinemas but is a dining-out blackspot.

The Maxwell’s Group, as regular readers of the site will be aware, is one of London’s most stalwart "give-the-public-what-they-want" chains. Their burger/steaks/chicken heavy menus are hugely reliable and excellent value. However..
