Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park (Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, 66 Knightsbridge, London, London, SW1X 7LA)

Anticipating a rather special lunch and were not disappointed. This is a very inventive menu with a nice touch of including the dates and origins of the dishes – but the rather unsual ‘cracker’ style facts seemed slightly out of place. The set price menu is excellent value but we were too easily swayed by the full menu and enjoyed a fantastic Broth of Lamb and Salamugundy as our starters. It would have been nice if the bread had been warmed and this was probably the most unextraodinary part of the meal
Mains were just as difficult to choose but we went for Pig cheeks and the Pigeon . Loads of flavours and a joy to eat. I always know the food is good when my partner stops talking!
Service was attentive – although I did have to chase for our drinks when we first arrived but other than that there was always someone on hand to make for a comfortable and easy going Lunch
Only dampner was the wine list – I was told this was on a par with other restaurants in the area bit it still made my eyes water!
Expensive Lunch but well worth it…

Pane Vino (323 Kentish Town Road, London, NW5 2TJ)

The Square Meal map is misleading and needs updating
Good simple italian food and a warm and friendly welcome from the very hardworking waitress. Ideal for a pre-concert supper – go for the calamari followed by pasta rather than Pizza and you won't be disappointed. The Sardinian wine was excellent though a little pricey…
