It's pretending to be an upmarket brasserie but is actually owned by a huge chain of restaurants including Bella Italia & Cafe Rouge. My burger and chips tasted processed and the waiter admitted the chips were frozen. I definately won't be eating there again but wouldn't say no to coffee.

It's pretty posh - and the decor is good.... seem to remember that the service sometimes used to take a long time when it was busy.

The Ebury Wine Bar has it all, a great snack type menu with antipasti plates, or chicken skewers. It's got a nice atmosphere, with affordable food, great wine list (obviously) and in a fun location.

Highly recommend this one if you work in the area.

In the winter the downstairs bar is nice and cosy.

Highly recommend this if you like people watching.

It has a nice busy french brasserie atmosphere, I think they like to keep it busy in there. We were sat by the windoe at the front, table immaculate, hooks to hang up coats but no real place to put shopping and bags, it all depends on your table, Table service is efficient, they don't like to hurry you and can advise you on the menu. But we ended up feeling like they wouldn't let us leave in the end, its so busy the waiter took a long time to get through everyone on his route, but maybe that was because he was covering. We were there 2 hours in the end! Food was of a high standard and there is something to be said for the atmosphere, so will be going again and recommending!

Was enough on the menu to keep everyone happy - vegetarians, skint students and food afficionados! I had the sea bass which was great although a little filling for a lunch. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and entertained us while we waited 5 minutes for our table. The plate of desserts available on the menu is great for guilt free sharing. And once you've finished there's loads of shops around to help you burn off those calories!
