Upstairs Bar & Restaurant

My wife and I use to go regularly to Upstairs but we went back recently only to find out the chef as gone as well as the very nice French maitre d'.

What a great shame we could not feel and taste the passion and care this place had not so long ago.

Why does this have to happen always to the good places this side of the river.

I think "Four O Nine" in Clapham north offers a much better deal for money.

This feels like a find and has great atmosphere. That said, the ambition of the food isn't as high as some make out, this is high level bistro food, but in fairness its executed very well. Now that the price has crept up to £30 for 3 courses, I'm not sure the value is quite there anymore. That said, its the best place to eat in Brixton, service is superb, and there is a great feel to the place. Special in the area, but wouldn't tell people to trek out for it.

A lovely birthday evening. Great cocktails and delicious food. My duck breast with shallots was melt in the mouth.
