"Slight problem that everything was so good that even Ronald Macdonald would cage fight me 50 per cent of his beetroot salad. Carpaccio of Scallops is as far from a fishfinger as the seafood gets, and it was just brilliant: sweet, clean, delicate." READ REVIEW
"...I think it deserves a gold star for being different. The food is fantastic, and the style is both distinct and natural enough to bring a real sense of pleasure." READ REVIEW
"The Blonde had pre-ordered a whole roast chicken... The Blonde and Cami adored it, saying it was the perfect dinner and that it was all they ever wanted – ever, ever, ever wanted – to eat." READ REVIEW

"It's the latest addition to the theme park of brand extensions springing up in London to cater for the influx of wealth washing through the city. And though, like Cipriani, it will probably win a fanbase among the inhabitants of Richland, it seemed plain weird to us." READ REVIEW

"...astoundingly, this airy and breezily unpretentious restaurant houses a very different attitude. There was not a dud among an irresistible list of Mediterranean delicacies." READ REVIEW
"We visited before it became clear that this was going to be one of the most synchronised raves of the year, and we’d have to say the place struck us as thoroughly pleasant." READ REVIEW
"...the Niçoise cooking is simple and likeable; and I'll be back for more pissaladière, but without the sharing thing, thanks. It's just a pity the association with Nice doesn't extend to getting fresh Provencal produce, as I think Duntoye could do wonders with it." READ REVIEW

"In a city which appears to have skipped a season and moved straight from spring to autumn, La Petite Maison offered a wonderful blush of summer." READ REVIEW
"This is a great restaurant. An apparent acknowledgement by dirty old French cuisine that people have been going over in droves to Italian food for its simplicity and cleanness, and a realisation that it can learn from that and grow." READ REVIEW

"In a version of the Jewish joke, the turbot at £23 could have been more sparklingly fresh and there could have been more of it. The best dish, the star of the show, was the roast chicken served carved in a big dish with its carcass beside and its natural gravy around." READ REVIEW

"This isn't the most technically brilliant, fancy-shmancy cooking in London. But golly, it's good. Chef Raphael Duntoye has a sureness and lightness of touch that doesn't need bells and whistles." READ REVIEW
