Review of Morgan M
16 May 07, 14:31
Pretension on a Plate 
M Morgan is a prime example of nouvelle cuisine gone mad. The waiters have elaborate French accents (we guessed they were probably in fact from Ealing) and do their best to make you feel slightly inadequate - as if you're lucky to be visiting their restaurant. The food comes in 'tasting menus,' which consist of numerous courses, each of which is accompanied by a selected glass of wine. Although the courses we received were little more than a mouthful each, the food was mostly delicious, and the wine was fantastic, and not overpriced. We had a great night at M Morgan, partly due to the food and the wine, but mostly due to laughing at the insanely pretentious experience. We left feeling that we'd been charged too much, and were reminded that truly classy restaurants bend over backwards to make your evening enjoyable, sumptous, and relaxed.

Review of Le Mercury
02 May 07, 14:39
Excellent value french food 
Le Mercury is a very popular French restaurant, probably mostly due to it's fantastic prices. There's a choice of about 8 main courses, all priced at £6.50. The food is tasty; it certainly doesn't taste cheap! The wine is good, and there's a pleasant candlelit ambience. However, you might feel slightly like you're being hurried; I guess they must need a lot of covers to make a profit!
