London Foodie’s latest review

Arbutus (63-64 Frith Street, London, W1D 3JW)

We did the ‘early-bird’ pre-theatre offer on a busy Friday night and the food was excellent. The set menu was very good value for money (stops at 7pm) for the food quality. It was a busy night, so lots of tables of two packed into the space, but the service was very good with lots of personality. I'm pregnant and couldn't have either of the dessert options on the set menu (one contained raw eggs, the other soft cheese- both no-no's when pregnant) but it was explained that these were the choices, and so anything else would be additional charge. So, we were charged extra for my dessert.

It's a shame they charge extra to cater to special dietry requirements, as most restaurants are flexible with coming up with alternatives.

Although having said that, I'd go again but check the menu beforehand.

Personal description

Mid-30's, settled down, living the London life

Eating out habits

Eat out mainly for pleasure, probably twice a week.

Favourite restaurants

My local Thai cafe is extremely good – it's called Chompoo (meaning pink, in Thai), loved Galvin on The Windows, The Orrery, Bonds Restaurant, The Dragon Inn before it was closed – boo, Melatis Malay Restaurant (the BEST Roti bread in London), Akari in Essex Rd for Japanese and Satsuma's in Wardour St.

Last supper

Wow that's a tough question, probably as I'd have no apetite knowing I was about to meet my fate! Probably an extremely good selection of sashimi / sushi, washed down with plenty of hot sake
