Murano (20 Queen Street, London, W1J 5PP) Was taken to Murano last night for my birthday. Boy what a treat! I am still thinking of the langostine risotto this morning. The food, every bit of it, was excellent. As I said my risotto was historic(sorry michael winner) with zucchini and its flowers also added. We then had the veal chop for two which was carved at our table, and so mouthwateringly soft and tasty. It was served with gnocchi and white asperagus. Wonderful. We had a chocolate souffle, and a rhubarb tasting which I literally scrapped the plate clean. Service was friendly, charming and professional-absolutely could not fault it. The only rub-the wine list. I had looked on line before we went, and as the previous reviews comment, it has way too many overpriced wines, and not enough good value ones. Anything in the 75-90 quid range was sold out-what's that telling you Angela, and so we went with a wonderful Volnay, but at 135 you wonder if they aren't taking the piss just a bit. Not everyone wants to spend 2-400 quid on a bottle of wine By all means GO TO MURANO, just maybe have a look at the wine list before hand to see if you can find a value there somewhere.
