The Cuckoo Club (Members' Club)

The worst club in London. The crowd inside was a reflection of what I'd seen outside - wannabes, northern day-trippers, and bullshitters. Go anywhere else.

Been here many times; varies a lot.

Once was in the black dining area - had scallops with vanilla oil risotto and Parmesan crisps, with a glass of Bollinger Grand Anee, a Saint-Honore cake for pudding with a cup of Earl Grey tea. This whole meal was stunning. To get a meal of this standard in a department store is unheard of in London, though of course commonplace in Paris! I've had worse food at Royal Hospital Road, Petrus, Sketch, Racine, Drones, and many other places in London.

Another time I went and had sea bass and a glass of Montrachet. This was poor. Soggy fish with a foul, overpowering taste of fennel. For pudding I had a few macaroons and a cognac, which were good, but not enough to make up for the poor main course.

I've often picked up sandwiches from here for lunch at the office. They are okay, but nothing special, and I cannot afford to stand in a queue for 20 mins. I can sit down and eat at Noura in that much time. If only this place was not in Harrods!
