This was a convenient restaurant for us having been to St Paul’s Cathedral for evensong and then needing to get on the Thameslink line later. City Thameslinnk station was just 5 mins from the restaurant . Food was good especially for the main courses. I liked the Breton fish stew and my husband said his steak was excellent. The vegetarians in our party were pleased too with a mushroom cassoulet. Wines were reasonably priced and we had an excellent waitress who managed the many orders. Decor feels a bit dated and the puddings were not as delicious as the descriptions. But overall good value and a nice meal in a buzzy location by St Paul’s.
