Flicking off pieces of rocket salad, I fled downstairs to the basement where I felt much more at home. Food first rate and not too pricey. Review coming up soon. Rather like L'Escargot in Greek Street, this restaurant is on three floors, with a one hundred seater brasserie on the ground floor, a more formal restaurant above, with private dining rooms at the top. Prices sound reasonable at around 15 pounds in the brasserie and 25 to 30 pounds upstairs, because J-C is one of London's top chefs.
Early reports are most favourable.
Good value and accomplished cuisine seems to be the verdict so far. Since selling his share in The Canteen, MPW has been very busy acquiring restaurants all over the place. Les Saveurs, very French inspite of Japanese owners, has been taken over and many changes have already happened. That wonderful chef Joel Antunes has gone back to France to be consultant Chef to the recently opened Astor Hotel in Paris. The MPW portfolio has also acquired the Mirabelle in Mayfair as well as Quo Vadis, in Dean Street Soho, presently being refurbished ready for opening in early October.
