Square Meal review of Skylon Grill:
The Grill side of this large, airy eatery in the Royal Festival Hall is much livelier & low-key than the restaurant proper (see review below). Pricing is reasonable given it’s a concern of D&D London (formerly Conran Restaurants), with a few main courses – Toulouse sausages with sauteed potatoes, say – clocking in at under £10. The menu is an appealing read of well-executed comfort dishes. Eggs ‘Skylon’ is an appetising take on the traditional Benedict – poached egg, fresh crab meat & spinach on an English muffin topped with buttery hollandaise sauce. Main courses include simple salmon & smoked haddock fishcakes with salad or grilled swordfish on a Med-style ratatouille of aubergine, sultanas & pine nuts. Desserts are good & there are terrific cocktails served in the central bar area. In fact, Skylon’s only real downfall is that the huge wall-to-ceiling windows, offering gorgeous views out over the Thames, are drafty, meaning it can get very cold in winter.
