I am a massive fan of everything Chris Corbin and Jeremy King do - if I could eat breakfast at the
Wolseley every day I would (I dream of having my own table there - "your usual table Sir..." etc) and nowhere does the "post theatre" late supper vibe better than
The Delaunay. So of course I couldn't wait to check out
Brasserie Zedel (which is no longer their latest venture given the recent opening of Colbert on Sloane Square - stay tuned for another blog post). Those
of you who were living it large in the late 90's will have no doubt have indulged yourselves at the Atlantic Bar & Grill, which was the last high profile occupant of this vast space. As much as I sometimes get nostalgic for some Millenium coke & champers action,
Brasserie Zedel is totally more my thing these days. I recommend you start your evening with a cocktail at Bar American - before heading in to
this loving recreation of a grand Parisian bistro. The food is well made bistro fare - the last time I went I had a lovely Beetroot and Lamb's Lettuce Salad followed by the Plat du Jour, which was (in true authentic French style) Chicken with Tarragon Sauce. All perfectly delicious, simple stuff - washed down with a half bottle of French red and a bill for the two of us that came to less than £70. Pretty darn good for a prime central London location, a truly classy establishment, tasty food and a great vibe. A winner for Mr Corbin and Mr King - again.
Ooof, but the cost of a meal . . . (especially since we girls pay for our own these days) ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think it's a bargain Sally - for the surrounding and the quality of the food. Hard to get a good night out for £35 a head these days!
ReplyDeleteshould have gone for the prix fix - 2 courses £11.00 bargain!
