Le Gavroche
Just returned from enjoying the excellent value lunch at £49 per head. A memorably brilliant experience that worked out cheaper than watching a nil-nil draw at the Arsenal. Fabulous.

St Johns
We returned on Friday after a while away from here and found the food , service and atmosphere as good as before, if not even better. A class act for a gastropub.

Agra Restaurant
What do Roy Orbison and Muhammad Ali have in common? One answer is they have both frequented the Agra near Warren Street tube (not really Soho at all, as the website has it). And they were right to do so. The tandoori dishes are particularly good, and it is an excellent Indian overall with a wide range of regular customers. The wine list could do with a freshen up, but otherwise this is a knockout.

Agra Restaurant
What have Muhammad Ali and Roy Orbison got in common? They have both patronised this deservedly long-standing Indian restaurant that isn't in Soho at all. It is just behind Warren Street. Had an excellent meal there recently, as usual, with the tandoori-based dishes being outstanding. Intersting mixed clientele too; some medics, some commuters getting the late train, and some miscellaneous drunks.

Almeida
Four of us reently took advantage of their early-evening offer, booked online, of two courses for £14.50. Naturally, the bill increased as we added bottled water and wine, but it still came out as terrific value for money. This is an attractive space in which to dine, and the service was first class, despite our cheapskate status. Perfect for pre-theatre or cinema in islington. We will be back.

Fig
Our group dined at Fig recently and - while we felt that the place was pleasant enough, the people running it were equally nice and the food was pretty good - we did have minor reservations. A couple of dishes were felt to be underseasoned, and the portions were ungenerous. The wine list also lacked options at the more readily affordable end. But, on balance, something of an oasis in a desert.
