Square Meal review of Forbury's Restaurant & Wine Bar:
Slap-bang in the middle of a modern office-block development isn’t exactly the most illustrious of settings for a restaurant, but that’s where Xavier Le-Bellego has decided to set up shop. He previously worked with Raymond Blanc & John Burton Race, a pedigree that comes through in a menu of traditional French dishes with a hint of modernity. Roast monkfish with shallot & star-aniseed mash, baby vegetables & Champagne beurre blanc is one of several strong seafood items, though earthy meat dishes such as stuffed pig's trotter with caramelised calf's sweetbread, morels, cream mash & Madeira jus are equally well-rendered. A full-scale glass facia that spans the entire breadth of the restaurant gives it a welcoming sense of airy brightness.
