The Times
Charlotte Ivers headed to southwest London, where a local neighbourhood restaurant had been recommended by a colleague. Her meal left her in pretty thorough agreement.
The cooking had “all sorts of clever hints of Asian fusion, but none of them too ostentatious”. A shrimp burger was “a little too pub lunch for me, a starchy mush of white bread and breadcrumbs padding out the prawn patty. The lighter dishes are much smarter, more highbrow.”
The clincher, though, came at the end of the meal, when “some tiny, paperlight chocolate cream tarts arrive — courtesy of the chef and, as far as I can tell, off menu. I think every table got some that evening: one of those little touches that make you want to become a regular.”
