Ordering Strategy

This is a sommelier-owned restaurant, so let co-founder Katie Exton guide your wine pairings. The menu is designed for a traditional three-course structure.

What to order

Safe first

Black Pudding

Described as 'seriously memorable,' this loose-grained boudin noir is likened to 'mulch and loam and fudge and blood in the most delicious way,' with reviewers suggesting they could eat it with a spoon like Nutella.

Hungry

Beef Short Rib

An 'inches-thick slab' that 'trembles and jiggles' on the bone, falling apart into a 'joyful mess of fat-basted tenderness' that provides 'comfort and contentment on the plate.'

Wildcard

Chocolate Pavé

Served with banana, peanut, and praline, this dessert is hailed as 'as fine a piece of the patissier’s art as you’ll find outside Paris.'

What to skip

Skip

Custard with rhubarb, pistachio and gingerbread— Reviewers were unimpressed by the 'over-stiff' texture of the custard and the 'chewy' consistency of the gingerbread cubes.

Good to know

It is located surprisingly close to Victoria Station but feels like a calm neighborhood spot. There is counter seating available if you are dining solo.
