Brawn

Would be five stars for the food, but I deducted one third of a star for each of three failings: first, the nibble we ordered, some anchovies in olive oil, should have come quickly, rather than with the starters. Second, and partly as a result of the above, I was left without any food at all for half an hour. My wife was given bread but, despite the fact that I had said I was allergic to gluten, no effort was made to bring me anything, which is not acceptable in a restaurant of this calibre. Third, knowing that I could not have the bread, the staff should have steered me away from the anchovies and the mussel starter, which both required bread to mop up the juices. In fact, I would normally knock half a point of for not taking Amex, but 3.5 stars would be too low for this restaurant. Having said all that, every dish was excellent in its own way - original, fantastic taste and texture and (with the minor exception of the parsnips under the smoke eel and bacon) each ingredient really added to the whole. The value of the food was excellent. The wine list was long but it did seem that it was slightly overpriced - but, overall, the meal itself was excellent value for its quality. I'll just have to remember to bring my own bread should I return.

We had such a great experience at Brawn. Friendly, helpful staff and incredible food. A little bit of an expensive meal but worth every penny. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back.

Fantastic evening with a couple of negronis at the Birdcage followed by a superlative dinner at Brawn. Fantastic restaurant using superb fresh produce, short menu, well informed staff and excellent wines! Well worth a visit
