Review of Canteen

18 Jul 07, 19:21

Best of British 4*

I've been here for both breakfast and dinner. The breakfast left me overwhelmed, lovely bubble and squeak, perfectly crispy bacon and possibly one of the better coffees I've had in London. However at £20 for 2 people it's probably a little pricey for a regular treat.

Dinner however, left me slightly underwhelmed. The food was unfussy and the portion sizes were reasonable but it lacked something. Then again, I had the roast and lets face it - it's tough to outdo your Mum or Grandma's home cooking!

I would have given it 3 stars but the design of the restaurant and its branding make the designer in me swoon. Plus, it's one of the first restaurants I recommend to out-of-towners in order to get a taste of proper British cooking.

Best thing about where I live View of Canary Wharf + London skyline. Ridley Road Markets and lots of shops. It's only 15 minutes on a bike to my office. There is a canal nearby. The Oxfam Bookshop where all fiction is 59p!!!
Worst thing about where I live The skanky elevators. You can't leave anything outside without it being bolted down. The 243 being impossible to catch between 8:15am - 9am.
