London restaurants

[newkid]

Can anyone recommend a good restaurant in central London for four women to spend a lovely evening in this coming Sat? Looking for a really special place and hopefully one that won't boot us from our table after a few hours.

Have a look at this website because it has lots of reviews on restaurants:-

I am always very fond of Kensington Place at the end of Kensington Chirch Street.... a bit pricey, but fab reliable quality, been around for long enough to not just be this years trendy hotel. Buzzy, lots of locals in it, great wine list. Enjoy, wherever you end up in!

sorry, i typed hotel when i meant restaurant! My mind is on trying to book a holiday!

Club Gascon is gorgeous my fave

What sort of vibe are you after?

Well my personal fav is Osteria Bascillica in Notting Hill. It's Italian, cosy, buzzy, great food. But depends what you want. There's so much to chose from.

ooh, I agree with Thomcat! Definitely another good one (and cheaper than K Place...).

I hate Chez Bruce!

oh no is a personal thing I am sure!

I know loads of people who love it

countess you are just WRONG about chez bruce. if they told you off they probably had v good reason.

Baltic on Blackfriars road is great. Very buzzy, great decor, fantastic and interesting food - , great cocktails. I went for a girl's night with 3 friends and we all loved it.

I am dubious about chez bruce, but largely due to the name. Is it franco-australian, or what? And why do they tell people off?

(We had a lovely lunch at Canteen the other day, in Spitalfields. Probably pretty relaxed on a Saturday night? Really lovely place. Oh, and Les Trois Garcons is meant to have a lovely ambiance etc, although it might be booked up already ...)

a vote for Baltic - have always had a fantastic night there!

What sort of food would suit all of you - and how central?

i hate chez bruce because

1. It is up itself - I went with a group of friends and we were told off for laughing too loudly

1. The food is average but they seem to think it is incredible, can't take any critcism.

1. It is (or was) the only decentish restaurant in the area so rested on its laurels and became even worse

sorry

We like Moro in Farringdon - lovely spanish/north African food.

ooh yes do lockets

all the other tables seemed to be miserable couples, men in blazers women with set hair

There is a Polish Restaurant in St Albans Grove,nearest tube station is High STreet Kensington It's called Wodka. It's a stones through from my fIL's house and Dh and I always go there when we're in London. the food is great, it's always very busy as it's so popular.

I'll miss it this year as we're not going to London
