Square Meal Review of Almeida ?

As ‘huge and theatrical' as its thespian namesake across the road, Almeida has the authentic air of a proper French bistro with a menu to match – although the kitchen leavens its efforts with a big helping of British produce. Baked South Coast cod fillet comes with a parsley crust, tomato fondue and mushroom velouté, côte de bouef consists of prime 28-day-aged Hereford beef, and Denham Castle lamb is deployed for a complex assiette dressed with Madeira jus. To start, the charcuterie trolley is a highlight, slow-roast suckling pig with apples and Normandy cider gets plenty of applause, and tarte Tatin is well worth the 20-minute wait. Prices are moderate for food of this quality, and the pre-theatre menu is great value at £15.95 for two courses. Staff are friendly and helpful, making Almeida a dependable bolthole off Upper Street.
