West London favourite gets an overhaul
Knightsbridge stalwart Brasseries St Quentin is reinvented and reopened as the Brompton Bar and Grill. Die-hard fans of the old brasserie might be upset after nearly 30 years of restaurant history was thrown out with the revamp, but there's a lot to recommend the fresh new look and menu it seems.

"What had become a rather staid restaurant has found youthful vigour, clean lines, an appealing straightforward menu and a wine list where you can’t quite believe the prices." READ REVIEW
