Chez Bruce (Restaurant)
10 December 2007

One of the few London restaurants truly deserving of its accolades. Fantastic. It's just unfortunate that after all the recent progress there are still some Londoners who are wholly philistine when it comes to food and so blissfully unaware of it (refer to 'longtail's' comment below). If Chez Bruce represents the quality of antipodean cuisine, I may yet emigrate... seriously, it really is that good.

5th View (Bar)
10 December 2007

I'm a New Yorker by origin. I therefore understand what good service should be and, believe me, London surely lacks it. 5th View, on the other hand, has always been on good form when I've been in there. Although a bit pricey, they are still less so than my other haunt, Sketch, and often just as good. If you don't want to wait a few minutes for a decent drink, then go to a pub. Good things take time as they say, so just relax and enjoy it.
