Incognico review by Sean O''Neill
I had been to Incognico once before on a Saturday night for a business dinner with some colleagues from the US and was pleasantly surprised by the food and service, as were they. With this in mind, when I saw the £25 per head for three courses and a glass of champagne I had to book it.
I went along last Friday night with two friends and it was delightful. The dining room, which could formally have been a bank, comprises two main dining areas and is nicely lit with a separate bar if you’d like to have a drink before dinner. The service was polite, friendly and attentive. We were served our champagne before dinner and my starter of fried mackerel on a bed of beetroot and horseradish was refreshing and the mains of rump of lamb with spinach fondant and salmon on a bed of lentils were supreme. I had the pear and almond tart for dessert, which was very good, but the dessert winner was definitely my friend’s strawberry cheese cake, a real taste of summer.
All this and a modestly priced bottle of NZ Sauvignon Blanc and one espresso came to £123, service included. I’m not sure why this restaurant isn’t always booked out, it may just be down to where it is on Shaftsbury Avenue, but it isn’t and this is good news for people like me looking for somewhere pleasant to eat, where the food is first class and isn’t over-priced. I have lived in London for seven years now and have eaten in many places on the Top 10 Restaurant list and I can tell you that Incognico is worthy of comparison. I’ll definitely be back.
