City Thai House (61 Carter Lane, London, EC4V 5DY) Went recently and were surprised to find it's no longer Thai House but a restaurant known as 61 Carter Lane/Above the Sun serving an excellent menu. With choices like mussel arancini or Oxtail broth to start and Pheasant or Wild Sea Bass and fondant potatoes for mains, I don't recall the desserts. I had the bass and it was perfectly cooked. They obviously have a talented chef in the kitchen. The waitress told me that the owner also has a nearby coffee shop/sandwich bar called Grace which I checked out recently and was equally impressive. They have a great wine list but you can also grab a Guinness or whatever form the downstairs pub – which the waitress will bring to you. Winner! Reckon it's a great option for business lunch or to show off in the evening by knowing a great little place know one else does. Doubt it will remain undercover for long.
