Momo (25 Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BH)

charming place but inexusably expensive for frankly very basic moroccan food that you could make just as well at home with a Claudia Roden cookbook. For this kind of money is it really acceptable that every piece of crockery we ate off be THAT chipped? And is it ok to be THAT close to other punters such that you are literally shoulder to shoulder. Not really my idea of a top end restaurant, despite the high price tag and pleasant service. Dont get me wrong, the food is good, just terribly terribly overpriced. Goto Sidi Maarouf on Edgware Road instead and save yourself some money. Sidi's service borders on terrible but the place is decorative, the food is good and half the price of Momos and they have unchipped crockery at least!

Kensington Place (201-209 Kensington Church Street, London, W8 7LX)

Fabulous food. Standard of spoken English and knowledge of the menu was really poor however and made it impossible to ask even basic question – ie what does the chicken come with? Very very frustrating that not one of them was fluent in either the language or the dishes on their menu. Perhaps this is what's accounting for the lack of patrons. Neverthless if you can bear with that, in the mains both the lamb and chicken are excellent and the cheese plate is generous (the chicken comes with red peppers, potatoes, turnips and carrots in case you need to know – I might as well tell you as the staff wont be able to!)

Bumpkin (209 Westbourne Park Road, London, W11 1EA)

What an absolute pleasure of a place. Throroughly decent, simple, homey food, beautiful decor and amazingly attentive, friendly and focused staff. Perfect kind of fare for a cold winters night. My best dining out experience in quite a long time – in no small part due to the high level of customer service as much as anything else.
