The County Hall Restaurant

This grand building is no longer the seat of London government, but the restaurant now housed in it is still the site of political horsetrading as it’s handy for Westminster, which is plainly in view. And though the fab vista across the river can be compromised by the hordes of tourists traipsing along this well-trodden path, it remains popular as a scenic venue for business people entertaining clients. The menu is short & based on classic French cuisine with a modern twist, so that you might get a beautifully presented veal with girolles, rocket & parmesan, or confit duck with cardamom. Service, as one might expect in such a grand venue, is suitably polished.
