Kerbisher & Malt (Brook Green)

So I've been resisting going in here because it looked a bit like a place that would try and make fish and chips all posh and ridiculously expensive. That's not what I think fish and chips is all about.

Anyway, how wrong my perception was. I just had battered Pollack and chips, the missus had Matzo fried Plaice and chips and the boy had fish nuggets and chips, drinks and extra tartare sauce and the bill came to £20 odd pounds. About a fiver more than I'd expect to pay in a bog standard chippie.

Difference being that this was some of the best fish and chips I've eaten. The batter on my pollack was thin crispy and totally exceptional. The fish inside cooked absolutely perfectly. Moist. Unmistakeably fresh fillet too. The plaice was cooked with the same care. I didn't get to try the nuggets because they got wolfed down.

Chips were like a good version of normal chip shop chips. Not the ridiculous posh chunks you get in good restaurants. Not the greasy mess you get in the chippie. Just a good quantity of well prepared chips. moreish. Filling. Lovely. We bought some tartare sauce for 30p.It came in a huge pot and was lush home made mayonnaise with chopped gherkin and fresh dill. Delicious. And to think that we pay 10p for that rubbish in sachets at a lot of places. Great stuff.

We ate in. Nice surroundings. A little spartan for me to be honest and lacking atmos, but who cares? That was fish and chips as is should be at an excellent fair price. An absolute winner.

There is obviously a good culture there. They have literature which talks about getting their stuff from only sustainable sources which is becoming more and more important. I'll be showing my support by eating lots and lots of fish and chips from there from now on. Got to be committed and all that!

Yoshi Sushi

Yup. Went here yesterday for a quick lunch as I'm trying to tick off a few more local places whilst I'm off work. Very good.

Unassuming from the outside, it stretches way back on the inside although you can sit up front at the bar if you like.

set lunches are about 10-15 and you can go from chicken teriake to eel on rice. We had one eel set lunch and one salmon teriake bento. Set lunch came with miso and some beansprouts. The eel was lovely. Succulent and tasty. The salmon was generous and fresh. Rice was good. Service polite.

We came out very satisfied and feeling lucky that we have such a wealth of diversity on our doorstep with not one but three very good japanese restaurants within 5 mins and this is definitely one of them.

Won't break the bank either.

Best Mangal I

Blimey, the one below was dead unlucky!

I went today for a local lunch after hearing good reports and it was very nice.

cared for surroundings, extensive menu, friendly service.

We had a chicken kebab and a spicy lamb one with salad on the side.

The lamb in particular was delicious. Good texture, well seasoned. Great bread. Two nice sauces on the side.

About a tenner each which is probably about as much as I'd like to pay but certainly two good plates of food.

My suspicion is getting take-away is the real winner as it's half the price and that would represent most excellent value so I will be getting on my bike to do that regularly from now on.

Sufi

Got a week's gardening leave and the boy's on half term so we're doing a restaurant a day in our local area (Hammersmith). And we're lucky, we're spoilt for choice.

Sufi is a place we'd heard a lot of good things about but never ventured into as Askew Rd isn't the road of choice in the area it has to be said. But with time to burn, why not?

Very pleasant inside. Homely, sweetly decorated. Warm welcome.

Menu. All the classics you'd find at other persian places in the area. Grilled meats, lots of mezze starters, big flat bread.

We ordered 2 soups, some hummus, some mirza ghizeme and some olivera, and one grilled chicken dish to share for three of us.

As the good ones do, he made the bread in the big oven at the front and coated it with sesame seeds and kalonje seeds. Delicious.

The food all came together as we asked and it was all delicious. Generous helpings, freshly made. In fact we over ordered.

One quibble. The Mirza Ghizeme tasted a bit too much like raw onion. But this could well be my ignorance rather than a failing of the dish.

The chicken was expertly cooked I would say and the rice it came with was steamed beautifully.

Best bit of course is the bill. £33 the lot. You'd pay £10 more even in Yas (reviewed here by me) and of course in town you'd pay a hell of a lot more.

Charming place. A local gem. We'll be back.

The Modern Pantry

I went here for lunch on Fri and found the whole thing rather refreshing.

Challenging without being pointless, well considered and put together food. Interesting stuff.

I had a scotched quail's egg, the surrounding meat being chorizo based. Very nicely done with a tomato salsa accompaniment. The Sashimi was the best one of my lunch partners had eaten. We tried some chips I had never heard of (with salt I had never heard of!) and they were good too, with an accompaniment of creme fraiche and tomato. All good.

I got two big scotch eggs, probably a little too much for all that chorizo. It got a little heavy, but that's my fault for being greedy and eating it all.

My main course was a delight. Poached baby chicken with a coconut sauce and sweet potato. Poached poussin isn't something you see on most menus and it was as delicate and light as I had hoped. The sauce really set off the light meat. Lovely stuff. two of our party had the veal escalope which looked great.

No room for pudding.

Surroundings a little stark. Wooden floors and walls and grey paint. Service to match. Maitre d' was a little abrupt. But I don't want to be his mate. I just want expertly cooked food that is refreshingly different and that's what I got. Fair prices too and a cracking area full of history to wander round after.

A very decent experience.

Barrafina

Sorry to bang on. Went back there last Wed. Same deal.

Got there early, already half full. Watched as all the stuff was prepared in front of us.

Over-ordered and ate every scrap. Highlights? All of it.

One niggle. £2 for 2 small slices of bread is a little steep. Especially as you want loads of bread to mop up all those wonderful juices. The lamb sweetbread special needed about 8 slices, it was that delicious.

Top place.

Quo Vadis

I've always liked Quo Vadis. Nice surroundings, smart art, good menu with lots of favourites and a few surprises.

My visit the other day for lunch had all this but I don't know if it was just my bad luck but the 2 dishes I ordered weren't very nice.

The ox tongue salad was massively overdressed which spoiled it. And the saddle of rabbit in sourdough bread simply didn't work. I felt the rabbit needed to be trimmed much better and the bread bowl thing was frankly awful. Really really dense loaf, undercooked, impossible to get your knife and fork through.

The gravy or jus or whatever one is supposed to call it now was far too reduced to help with the doughy bread situation and the rabbit came out a little dry too which didn't help.

As I said, it may have been bad luck but the dishes were at best sloppy and you could say that the rabbit dish was a complete failure which I wouldn't mind had it not cost about £20. I'm all for something a little brave and experimental but you'd expect the execution to be a little better I think.

Certainly won't put me off going back but maybe they've just gone a little off the boil in the kitchen?

Hix Soho

Surprised at the slightly low marks here.

We went on Easter Fri and had the whole place to ourselves which in a way was lovely obviously although clearly it's a place that thrives on buzz. Especially downstairs in the bar.

I suppose the decor isn't really my cup of tea but that's totally subjective. I'm just not mad about the hanging mobiles. But the tables are comfy and well spaced.

Food's great though. Good menu full of firm favourites and the odd mad one.

We ordered some gulls' eggs with celery salt and mayo as a sort of amuse buche. They came in a silver bowl, still in the shell, beautiful blue things with spots. it looked lovely. You could pick what you wanted (obviously you paid for each one!) and dab the celery salt and very well made mayo. So many places get mayo wrong. Not here. We stopped at one each so as not to ruin the rest of the meal. But the menu had lots of fun bits and bobs we could have got stuck into. Pork crackling was one. The eggs. Oysters. Peas in their pod. All good fun and simple and rather tasty if sourced well.

Asparagus came plentiful, perfectly done and with a spot on hollandaise. great stuff.

I had braun with picallilli. Delicious. I sensed real confidence in the place because of the stuff on the menu and how it was cooked and presented.

Fish and chips came with a perfect tartare. And my gurnard was expertly cooked and well presented. Not memorable but satisfying nonetheless. We couldn't do pudding.

Not cheap by any stretch but high standard stuff and good value for money in our opinion.

Great place to go for a night out. Friendly relaxed confident staff who know their stuff and dont fawn.

Yup, a really smart place and as I said, a little surprised by the marks so far.

Canta Napoli (Chiswick)

Reviewed this place last year. Just an update.

Still top quality food at very reasonable price.

Pizzas amongst the best I've tasted. Brilliant dough. Had a little starter this time. Tuna Carpaccio. Excellent.

If you can put up with the extremely patchy service (it's not rude, just a little unprofessional. You get the impression that they hire the daughters of their friends who are doing a gap year or something) then you're in for a treat.

Barrafina

Finally. Got in there at the bar because we made a point of going down there at 12.15. It was already half full! And now I know why.

Surroundings are very cool. Just a bar that stretches round with fixed bar stools and waiters and chefs behind the bar taking your orders and cooking them.

All very lively and buzzy and cool. Great fun. Very Soho. But the best bit is the food.

We ordered just about everything on the medium sized menu, and everything was memorable. Octopus. Soft, succulent, beautifully flavoured oli. Memorable. Roast pork. Melty, sweet, daringly sauced and seasoned, generously served. Memorable. Tuna tatare. Perfectly balanced seasoning. Beautifully chopped. Hints of the orient with the sesame oil. Lovely mousse accompaniment. Memorable. Tortilla. Charred outside, melting inside, rich, naughty, memorable. (fun to watch them prepare too.) Bruschetta. Fresh, vibrant. generous. memorable.

We carried on ordering. It's hard not too when you can see what everyone else is getting.

Pimientos de Padron. Classic. simple. Memorable. Roast Sea Bream. Simply done. Perfectly done. bold seasoning. Memorable. Couldn't eat any more. Gutted I didn't order the chips. They looked amazing too.

Bad points. Well it's not great if you're in groups because you sit in a line. And if you get there after 12.30 you'll be waiting an hour. And you certainly rack up a bill because if you're like me you just keep ordering and ordering because you don't want to miss out.

Other than that the place is perfect. They even serve the beer ice cold.

A triumph. Believe what everyone says.

Yalla Yalla (Green's Court)

It's small. It's cramped. It's uncomfortable. The service is scatty.

But you'll forgive it all that for the excellent food in cute surroundings slap bang in the middle of soho.

Fresh ingredients, well put together, generously served, authentic menu.

Great stuff. Something's got to give if you want all that in that area at that price.

I loved it and will deffo be going back, even if I do decide on their extensive take-out menu instead.

Canton

Ha, for some reason I didn't think Canton would be on here. Maybe it's because it's more of a cafe, and one of numerous places just like it in the surrounding area. Too 'small' to get onto these pages. But here it is and I couldn't be more delighted to review it.

Canton is a restaurant I have been going to for years. Quite simply, if you want a quick bowl of soy chicken noodle soup or plate of cold cantonese duck on rice, and a bit of salt and chili squid if you're feeling a little hung over, there isn't a better place.

Service is abrupt, tablecloths are paper, spoons and chopsticks are worn, it's often a little cold, but who cares? The meats - which the guy in the shop window expertly chops to the delight of the tourists outside - are second to none.

There are no pretentions here. The meat is chopped on the bone, courses arrive together, you mostly have to share your table. But you feel like you could be in deepest china when you eat here.

The soy chicken noodle soup is a dish I have 3 times a week. The veritable 'meal in itself'. Wonderful fresh noodles topped with a little chinese cabbage, a few spring onions and then delicious quarter of soy chicken chopped into pieces through the bone. And a powerful salty duck stock that stands up to the ridiculously fierce chili oil on the table (seriously, if you venture there you literally only need a dab. It will blow your socks off) £6.50. Job's a goodun.

You need to use your hands a lot and the table cloth becomes extremely messy, but no worries, they screw it up and throw it away when you're gone.

The salt chili squid is another triumph. Perfectly cooked squid coated in a floury salty light crispy crust and served with the tossed remains of onion and chili. Served in big lumps, a real mouthful, every one a joy.

There are things to avoid. Ubiquitous singapore noodles and sweet and sour stuff. The old classics. I simply wouldn't bother. They are there to appease the tourists.

The cold meats hanging in the window are what this place does best. have them with soup or rice.

Don't go in unless you're hungry. And expect change from a tenner. That's what eating in chinatown is all about and anyone who reviews this place badly probably just hasn't entered into the spirit of the place.

It's been run by the same owners for years who beneath their harsh shouty exteriors are charming and if you're regular enough they will knock you up half portions when you're by yourself and do you stuff that's slightly off piste.

Dont' ask too many questions of the staff. They struggle with English. Just do a lot of pointing and a lot of miming and everyone gets there in the end.

If you can be bothered to read through my many reviews you will see that I've dined in most places and like going on fine dining soirees. But I have to say the older I get the more I lean towards the magic of a place like this. A place where they feed you up with good authentic fare and churn you out happy at the end.

This place is amongst my favourite restaurants of all time because of that. I'll be there tomorrow if anyone wants some recommendations.

Sam's Brasserie & Bar

Living in Hammersmith we are lucky to have so many brilliant and varying places to go.

But there isn't anywhere that strikes me as a good modern brasserie. Except here.

It's tucked away so often you forget it's there. But I will deffo make a mental note now.

It was our second visit after a first visit we thoroughly enjoyed many moons ago.

Lovely spacious room. solid, cool concrete floor. diners are able to peek into the busy kitchen

All sorts of people there. A good mixture of young and old. Lovely menu. Loads of simple things done really well.

A great plate of English charcuterie and a lovely squid salad to start. The charcuterie was delicious. Well chosen meat, a cut above the norm, with perfect accompaniments and most importantly good bread.

I just had a steak for my main but it was everything a good steak should be. Well seasoned, generous, cooked to perfection, presented well with some good fresh watercress. And stiff, fluffy chips to go with it.

But the best thing of all...£18. Well worth it for the food and the surroundings and the service.

That's what you want from a good brasserie. Simple food. a menu that absolutely everyone will find an old classic they love on. All cooked without fuss or pretention but to the highest standard nonetheless.

Sam's benefts from being on a quiet side street in an industrial looking building which gives it a certain something too.

Top marks for this place. I must remember to go back for sunday lunch with the family for a treat. It's that kind of place.

Hawksmoor Seven Dials

I used to work right near the one in Spitalfields and was a regular so imagine my delight when the new one opened round the corner from where I now work in Covent Garden.

Managed to get a table there last week with two friends.

I knew to expect sumptuous steaks that would make me feel leaden in my feet for three days afterwards.

What I wasn't expecting was the grand surroundings when you consider how ordinary the east london building is.

The huge cellar type room is spectacular. Brick walls and lots of wood. The sort of place you can sink into and never want to venture outside again.

You really feel like you're on a night out here. And that's before you've sat down.

Service is friendly if a little casual. I don't want them fawning but a tad more formality might not go amiss after all it isn't cheap. But some people prefer that and I'm happy to go with it.

Loud buzzy room. Simple menu. Steak steak and more steak.

I had what I always have. A big old rib eye. And I finished every bit. I have to say I always order it medium. I know this is frowned upon but the steaks are big here and I find if you order medium rare a lot of the fat hasn't rendered which can be a little unpleasant. So I tucked my medium steak (not in size you understand, the table groans under the weight of the thing) away with gusto along with the perfectly done greens.

We shared a peanut butter shortbread ice cream thing which was delicious even though puddings aren't really for me.

Pathetic person that I am I stuck my whereabouts on gowalla (like foursquare) so I could boast on facebook. They have free wifi here and encourage use of it (not that you want to be concentrating on that over your guests obviously). I was thrilled to get a reply from the Hawksmoor themselves via twitter and we entered into a little banter. Not everyone's cup of tea clearly but it shows that these people are on the ball and putting attention into every detail.

The bar outside the main dining room was a delight to lounge in.

One quibble. We had a lovely bottle of Rioja and followed it up with the house red which, whilst not corked, was completely manky. Steer clear of that one. It's a false economy I warn you.

Cheap it isn't but value for money it is. It's everything its sister restaurant is and a whole lot more.

Top steak. Top room. Top night. I'll be back.

J Sheekey

Just been back there for lunch (I wrote the review 2 down) and happy to report it had got much of its lustre back.

Still not quite the sheekey of old in my book. Slightly rough around some of the edges. But the service was as usual excellent, the atmosphere was buzzy and we had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch.

I had the roast seafood platter which was generously adorned and I couldn't help dipping into the lovely sauce that had collected at the bottom of the plate with the great bread they serve there.

The crab starter was fresh and generous and I didn't have room for pudding although one of us had the old frozen berries with white chocolate sauce which is always a winner.

I will put the experience before down to the rushed Saturday matinee rush and leave it at that. Sheekey's is still a wonderful place even if it's not quite hitting the heights of old at the mo.

Veeraswamy

Well it's all very promising when you walk in. Dark opulent looking room with lots of nice decoration. Lots of space and very comfortable. But I'd say the food lets it down somewhat. It's not the most expensive but it's pricey enough to expect something a little bit better than what I got.

I was in a big group and it was a Tue evening. We ordered a lot of finger food starters, chicken wings and the like. All overdone and no care taken over them at all. The accompanying sauces weren't in the slightest bit vibrant or surprising. When I eat Indian I want something vibrant and surprising.

My duck masala main course was again perfectly edible but carelessly done. Very overdone and with a ubiquitous masala sauce. I tried two of my guests' food. The lobster curry was a little more delicate without being amazing in any way.

I would expect this sort of food in a decent high street curry house. But the prices are far greater than that so you're paying for the area and the room inside which is a shame when there's so much great indian food around at the moment. I'm lucky enough to live near Indian Zing in Hammersmith and the food there knocks the food here into a cocked hat at a much much fairer price.

Mon Plaisir

Yup, just had another very satisfactory lunch at Mon Plaisir. I only work around the corner so we sometimes run in there when we need somewhere quiet.

The surroundings are lovely, very french, idiosyncratic, a bit higgeldy-piggeldy and all the more charming for it.

The menu is very rustic french. Always something for the more adventurous there or you could just opt for steak and chips as we did.

Steak was lovely. Cooked perfectly. Chips proper French, thin and crisp. lots of them.

Side dish of beans still with a little crunch.

Just a shame to go back to work. I first went here when I took the missus for a first date some 18 years ago and it was lovely. It has been ever since.

It's on a charming road in Covent Garden yet prices are totally reasonable. My kind of place then!

Frankie's Bar & Grill by Marco Pierre White

Frankie Dettori annoys me a bit. And you can't get away from Marco now. Whether it's him convincing us that he cook with Knorr or on the latest reality chef thingy.

So with low expectation we trotted off to Frankies Chiswick with our five year old after Toy Story (in 3D). I have lived in Hammersmith all my life and promised I'd give it a whirl because from the outside it looked a bit of fun, and I was in a chicken/burger kind of mood.

Walking through the front bit with this mature vine with grapes hanging above our head was really lovely. Cleverly done so you don't feel like you're on Chiswick High Road at all. Promising start.

Once inside you're confronted with a slick looking friendly but substantial bar. There was nobody there yet but it wasn't even 7pm. We asked if they had a table for three which they accommodated without a booking even though we hadn't booked, letting us know they'd need it back in an hour and a half. Perfect.

Inside is real fun. OTT opulence. Mirrors and glitterballs and swish tiling. Comfortable furniture, nicely spaced out seating. A really nice bench seating arrangement for a party of about 10. Lots of busy staff, and the kitchen in the middle so you can see the action. A sort of throwback to the 20s with a modern twist.

We ordered a steak with porcini, grilled spatchcock chicken and a childrens' menu of margarita pizza.

The steak and chicken came with a lovely glossy reduction and were both well cooked. The pizza was thin and tasty. Zucchine and spinach sides were also well done, garlicky with a little spice. A jug of tap water was offered up by the staff with squeezed lemon which is always appreciated.

Stanley wolfed down a vanilla ice cream with a hot chocolate sauce which was gooey and good. The menu was full of great sounding pasta dishes which, if cooked to the standard of what we had, will be very good. I could have had my steak alla Romana which is with snails and garlic. Touches like that make the place all the more fun. Service was friendly and attentive without being fawning and the place was hotting up nicely by 7.30pm.

Snobbishness firmly abaited, we will be coming back again very soon. The front garden looks a treat for the summer. The bar looks like a place to bed down for the evening in. A fantastic place for simple, really well cooked food in a fun, slightly ott atmosphere. All very reasonably priced too.

Sorry to be so positive! I know it's more fun to read a scathing attack and I often do that on here because it's easier I suppose. But Frankies, despite the name, is fab.

Hawksmoor Spitalfields

Yup, the Hawksmoor is good.

Steaks are imperious. I've had rib eye a number of times and it's fantastic. I've learned to order it medium so that the fat which is always present is properly rendered. Delicious. And the T-Bone is something else! But you won't want to eat meat again for a week! Massive massive steaks

Sides are lovely. Simple and well cooked. Service is informal and good. Surroundings are nice enough. Decent wine list. And good beers too.

The only downside is the price. It's fiendishly expensive. £26 for a steak and absolutely nothing else is a struggle. But It's certainly a place worth saving up for.

Too much fawning for my liking. Totally obtrusive when we were trying to have a conversation. I don't know how many times I politely said I could pour my own wine only for a new person to come up and do it all over again.

Canta Napoli (Chiswick)

This place is a bit of a treasure. Not much to look at outside or in. But the food is quite excellent.

The pizzas are wholly authentic, and cooked right before your eyes. I have to say the pizza dough is second to none. A far far cry from the rubbish at the Pizza Express round the corner. I've had a leek and sausage pizza with some sort of stringy cheese and it was one of the nicest pizzas I've ever eaten.

Today I had a canellini bean soup special, my missus had a simple tomato and mozzarella salad and our boy had a kids' menu margherita pizza and it was all fabulous.

The place has somewhat of a cafe feel which belies how good the food is.

The kids' menu is excellent. And the prices are totally reasonable.

From what I could see at the back, the salamis and hams are a very good quality too.

What a brilliant local place. I'm surprised I'm the first to review it here.

Locanda Locatelli

Just took my second visit here as a birthday treat. The place is swish and really feels special. The menu is lovely too. Full of authentic Italian stuff.

But. My partner's crab linguini was swimming in oil and packed no punch at all. Really weak on flavour. And my mackerel came barely cooked, which for me seems completely the wrong way to cook mackerel. Isn't the point of mackerel to have a lovely burnished skin? We ordered a side of roast potatoes which were a little leathery. Ordinarily I wouldn't comment about these things because in the grand scheme of things it wasn't a bad meal.

However, the meal for two with one mid priced bottle of wine was £200 and I'm afraid for that money I expect far far better from the food.

The menu is very expensive, but it seems you're paying for the swish setting.

I'm not sure I'll be going back. Not with the credit crunch anyhow!
