Sean C.’s latest review

Bread Street Kitchen (One New Change, St Paul's, London, London, EC4M 9AF)

Had my boss take me there as an end of year catch up and hadn't had the chance/excuse to go, so was a little nervous as to how he would receive it. The decor is great, high ceilings with big windows are always going to guarantee light, and the open pipes & ducts contrast with the highly polished brass etc really well. The kitchen is very open with several areas and these are reflected on the menu with cold/hot/barbecue options, all of which offer shellfish, fish and meat in equal amounts. We went for the cured meat starters, much of a muchness, then the Yellow Fin Tuna Loin. Wow, what a dish, full of taste, texture, a bit of spice, really something new and refreshing. We were suggested the green beans to go with it, delivered on time and very nice – I appreciate the staff not ramming multiple other additions on us. Dessert continued in the same vein as the main course, my ginger cheesecake (a little light on the ginger) set off wonderfully with a blackberry sauce, my boss' lemon and polenta cake really moreish too. The wine list was extensive and yet also offered across the price range and the atmosphere was great for chatting (enough background noise not to feel self-conscious!). Will definitely go again and highly recommend for lunch, both business and pleasure-driven!

Coq d'Argent at the end of Cheapside is lovely if a bit pricey, and it also comes with potentially (weather dependent) some great views! More
