Somerstown Coffeehouse

A couple of us had a late bar meal, which is considerbly lighter than the next door restaurant. We both chose mousaka off the specials board, which came fairly promptly with a vibrant salad and some 'British' French bread which was more chewy and softer, but I prefer it that way. Accompanied with some Normandy butter, it was delicious to to mop up with. The Mousaka was, in my mind, a perfect consistency, well seasoned and had a cheesy topping as opposed toa thick bechamel. If anything, the potatoes were a lttle undercooked, but this was a minor point in an overall excellent value-for-money meal.

The french staff couldn't have been more helpful (perhaps a bit flirty?) and with a couple of bottles of excellent viognier we had an exciting catch up in friendly atmosphere.
