Good place for a girlie lunch in London?

[NancyBotwin]

fairly flexible on location as long as there is somewhere to shop nearby! Was thinking of Kings Road/Knightsbridge general area...

Budget?

There are some good places on the South Bank. Was in Las Iguanas last night which is South American (paella mmmm, don't tell Rosemary Conley!). Hungerford Bridge right beside which takes you back into the Strand.

Oh I don't know, anywhere between £15-30 a head?

Thanks but not planning to go to the South Bank - too far from the shops!

Ziani is nice, traditional Italian.

Harvey Nichols restaurant does a £30 set menu I think, not including any wine.

Do you like Japanese food? If so, you could try Zuma, check the website though as I am not sure of prices!

Zuma is good in terms of location... I like Japanese food but the last time I had Japanese I had to have toast when I got home as I was starving - portions were teeny!

Yeah, it isn't always terribly filling!

Bluebird?

There is a really good gastropub I have been to a couple of times but I can't remember the bloody name! Will let you know if it comes to me...

ok, not quite lunch and a tiny weeny bit above budget but a highly recommend the afternoon tea at the berkeley hotel in knightsbridge. it's amazing and such a totally girly experience. handbag shaped cakes and shoe shaped biscuits. all look beautiful and taste pretty good too. fantastic. and i guarantee that you will never want to eat again, you can ask for as many refills as you want, all included in the price.

pret a portea

Oriels in Sloane Square always works for me!

That looks like a possibility marm - thanks!

Harvey Nichols 5th Floor is good.

I went for your suggestion MarmMummy - thanks it was just what we needed. Was actually surprised there are so few restaurants on Kings Road...

we use to call it the buildes crack. good food just off the kings rd

cant beat harvey nicks, fabulous boutique below the bluebird.
