Hidden away behind the busy brasserie, 1 Lombard Street’s sleek fine-dining restaurant is all about civilised intimacy & cosseted comfort – the ‘perfect lunchtime retreat’ notes one reader with
business in mind. Head chef Tim Richardson's creative cooking delivers intriguing & often cross-cultural flavours, ranging from seared foie gras with gorgeous caramelised chicory or carpaccio
of tuna with pickled ginger & wasabi oil to ‘perfectly cooked’ fillet of lamb with pea purée or roast monkfish with Indian spices, lentil purée, ginger & curry-leaf velouté. Desserts also
promise some sublime & intricate confections, notably a signature Granny Smith feuillantine with Guinness ice cream & warm strawberries in Sauternes with black pepper & a scoop of crème
fraîche sorbet. Service is dutiful, if a touch slow.
WINE LIST: This list is just the right length, with choice at every price point. Its international slant means there are many different styles of wine on offer, but it is more of a good
all-rounder than a specialist – red Bordeaux is the only region explored in any depth. BEST BUY WHITE 2003 Van Volxem, Riesling, Scharzhofberger, Mosel Saar Ruwer, Germany, £47. BEST BUY
RED 2006 Domaine des Entrefaux, Crozes-Hermitage, Rhône Valley, France, £42.
