A brilliant restaurant full stop. It’s only recently that we realised how much fun it is to eat alone at the bar here. The chef Bruno Loubet is keen to present vegetables centre stage so this is a good option for anyone who is vegetarian or just mindful of eating less meat. The menu is changed regularly but one of our favourite dishes from the past is almond crusted goats’ cheese served with artichoke, fennel and garlic confit. There is also a stand out cocktail list.

Average price for a meal for one (inc. wine): £25
