Reviewed on October 23, 2010
"I should own up and say that I am a huge fan of the Canton and have eaten there half a dozen times in its new incarnation. Two observations: first, I've never managed a pudding there, because I've always been too full." READ REVIEW

Zoe Wiliams Telegraph
Reviewed on May 30, 2010
"I had a rabbit stew. It flaked off the bone exquisitely, the meat was refined but full of depth, the soffritto foundations (onions, carrots, celery) were so neatly chopped it looked as if they'd unearthed some miniature celery: I loved it." READ REVIEW

Reviewed on April 20, 2010
