Yes, I was so intrigued by all the fab reviews…didn’t it win Time Out Restaurant of the Year last year? It just goes to show you, I suppose, the experiences at restaurants can be so individual. Mike, I will give the Brasserie a try some day!

Douglas…yes, a review together at some point sounds great!

Ann…wow, thanks for the info about the chef. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Some sad news about the chef at the restaurant…

How ironic! You should definitely try the Brasserie. The entrance is in the Square, just to the right of the main entrance.

Liz and I have had some excellent food in there, including last Sunday when we also visited the Square for the Vanity Fair exhibition. They do struggle a bit when full, but for high end brasserie food they generally do very well. There’s probably an age issue here. The ambiance is very reminiscent of Lyons Corner House back in the days when working class people dressed up to go there for lunch and pretend to be middle class!

I’d been wondering about the National Gallery restaurant because it gets such good writeups (in American newspapers), but I was suspicious because it’s in such a high-tourist-traffic area. It sounds like I’m not missing much by not going.
