"The turbot. The dish whose slang name, Brat, gives this restaurant its name. Cooked in the wood oven in one of Parry’s bespoke fish cages, it was done as perfectly as such a fish can be. Never have I seen the edges so crisp (making the bones edible) with the flesh so firm and yet the gelatinous parts so sweet and sticky on one animal." READ REVIEW

"Brat, with its democratic layout, brilliant cooking and unique schtick, has the potential to be another St John — a classic restaurant with a long life and a rabidly devoted fan base."

"Chopped egg with bottarga is a sophisticate’s egg and onion; grilled bread and anchovy a foil for the admirable list of sherries, annoyingly none of them served by the glass; langoustines are where sweetness meets and greets char." READ REVIEW
