  1. i know they've bought a new restaurant and have this far done nothing to it i believe. any one heard? i know which restaurant it is. does anyone else?
  2. i'm pretty sure it's only a lunch thing unfortunately. I really can't recommend the galvin bistro highly enough. don't go by the website, go there and have look at it. i think it might be what you're looking for. does a very good value prixe fixe too if you're looking for that. i must admit i've never had it myself because the steak tartare is one of the best i've ever had. they re one of the few places that do a miller's gin and tonic aswell.
  3. Hi, I love the Galvin Bistro on Baker Street! Formal looking enough to be a great for a special occasion, thick table cloths et al, but not too expensive, classic French food, cooked bang on and a good wine list. The staff are friendly, if a little cack-handed on occasion. Once when I was there with my girlfriend my bill was £800. Two other tables wine had been put on our bill. However, that is one isolated incident. Think trotters a la Koffman (ish), steak tartare and wonderful rich stews with french sausage and snails. Wild Honey is a lovely special occasion restaurant. I've seen Mr Matthew Grant at Arbutus a few times and would be interested to know what he thinks of the place too!! Good value and bloody good. I just don't know about looking for something 'not too formal' and thinking about going to the Gavroche. All the best with the hunt anyway.
