High Road Brasserie

An urbane urban restaurant, the High Road Brasserie is an established mover & shaker in Chiswick, drawing a stylish crowd for client lunches & tie-loosening evening get-togethers. Couples also enjoy the smart yet relaxed atmosphere, & families crowd in for weekend brunches. The somewhat sombre frontage, with awnings shielding pavement tables, contrasts with an interior where continental brasserie fittings are enlivened by multicoloured tiled flooring. The menu is equally good-looking, ranging from breakfasts of buttermilk pancakes to a smart, all-day line-up of small plates (spiced aubergine with flatbread) & bigger dishes such as cod with cabbage & shrimp butter – all executed with consummate skill and brio. Finish with apple strudel, but don’t neglect the drinks list, which runs from multifarious cocktails & wines to an admirable choice of spirits. Set lunches are a steal.
