Pimlico, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

“Katie Exton and her team continue to shine” at her “lovely, cosy Pimlico neighbourhood restaurant” which “punches well above its price point”. “It’s not super luxe by any means, but its focus is put onto things that matter most” with “an intimate vibe” and “a quality of cuisine that’s far higher than the venue would suggest” (“interesting dishes and flavours without being too crazy”). She is a wine expert by training, and it shows in the “brilliantly curated and sensibly priced wine list with an incredible choice for a restaurant of its small size”. “A useful place in this area: particularly good for meeting people getting into Victoria”. Top Menu Tips – “the lamb and game are unbeatable”.

“Beautifully prepared and served” by hospitality students, a meal at Westminster Kingsway College in Vincent Square is “always a pleasure (and I’ve never had a bad experience)” – it’s “excellent value, too (don’t tell everybody)”. And while it can be “a bit funny” at times being a ‘crash test dummy’ for its student servers, “there’s no need to be patronising – the kids achieve a high level across the board”. Meals are served on weekdays during term time in the Escoffier Room and more casual Brasserie, with wine pairings available.

“Good grills” (“great steak” in particular) are the centrepiece of the menu at this popular indie spot in Pimlico’s stylish Eccleston Yards development. The overall experience is boosted by its chic ex-warehouse interior, “friendly staff” and the “very pleasant outdoor space”.
