Clerkenwell
Quality Chop House
Restaurant, deli and wine bar all share equal claim for this entry. Set in an old working mans chop house the listed benches and tables are appropriately spartan, everything is focused on the food. Sitting with your knees touching your dinner partner is a small price to pay for the seasonal, British set menu that is a real culinary treat. Floral plates and the best waiting staff round of this charming, intimate and memorable restaurant. The wine bar has (we’re assured by people who know), some exotic and exciting bottles that can’t be found anywhere else. The deli and butchers next door is where to go if you want to cook your own delicious food from their range of carefully selected specialist and staple produce. They do an impressive selection of fresh cakes and sandwiches too.
