Pescatori (57 Charlotte Street, London, W1T 4PD)

3 of us went to Pescatori for the first time to take advantage of the 30% off offer. As we were not very hungry that night, we ordered a lobster linguine to share as the starter. Given that it is supposed to be their speciality, I didn't find the dish extra-ordinary. The portion was generous which I expected it to be at that price tag. I more enjoyed my main. I had the black cod with sweet chard and Gazpacho. Fish was perfectly cooked. I was a little worried about how the cold Gazpacho would go with a pipping hot piece of fish, but it turned out quite ok at the end as the Gazpacho was not as cold as I thought but at room temperature. The slight acidity of the Gazpacho complemented the oilly black cod very well and yes, the fish was pipping hot. We were all stuffed after the main course but my friends insisted to try at least 1 dessert. We've picked the Vannila Pannacota with balsamic berries. I could only manage 1 spoonful. It was ok, but would prefer the pannacota to be a littie sweeter especially against that tangy berries and balsamic. Other than the food, the service was attentive. The place were filled up but the good thing was that it was not too noisy, a great place to catch up with friends. I would definitely go back again to try out the other dishes.

Restaurant Sauterelle (The Royal Exchange, London, EC3V 3LR)

Not a typical place to entertain friends if you are not working in the city. I've bought numerous overseas visitors to the restaurant. I haven't heard any bad things from them about the food, but dinning in a historical building of Royal Exchange in the Bank area was one of their “off the beaten track” tourist experiences.
I was backed to Sauterelle last night but this time with local friends. It was not too busy for a friday evening. Service was friendly as usual. We have the a la carte menu rather than the set. I wasn't particularly hungry so I skipped the starter. I chose a fish course for the main. The “melt in your mouth” fillet of halibut was very juicy. It was placed on top of a bed of earthy puy lentil complemented by the delicate razor clams and samphire. The whole plate was bordered by a black ink sauce, odd looking but quite tasty. The Rhubarb desert was refreshing though the rhubarb itself was slightly too tangy for my taste. I enjoyed the rhubarb sorbet with the thin short bread more. Overall another satisfied (but not spectacular) meal and what I would have expected from Sauterelle.
