Delicious food - best pork belly i have ever eaten! Wine was lovely and the cheese board for dessert was varied and wonderful

ACC 17 October 2011 From London

The epitome of elegant brasserie dining, 1 Lombard Street presents a fine blend of award-winning modern European cuisine with gastronomic classics. Beneath the elegant domed skylight, the circular bar serves up glamorous cocktails and authentic tapas.

Housed in a grand Grade II listed building and former banking hall, 1 Lombard Street London features Titian-inspired décor and neo-classical design. Dine in the vibrant brasserie or the sophisticated fine dining restaurant.

With an array of exciting seasonal specials made with specially sourced and organic produce, head chef Herbert Berger combines creative Gallic elements with fine brasserie favourites. Sample dishes on the 1 Lombard Street Brasserie menu include seared diver caught scallops with saffron vinaigrette, roast suckling pig with wild mushroom stuffing or lamb cutlets with béarnaise sauce and straw potatoes. The acclaimed wine list at 1 Lombard Street Bank features many superb international bottles while the dessert list reveals indulgences like feuillantine of caramelised Granny Smith and Guinness ice cream.

A few steps away from Bank Tube Station, 1 Lombard Street Restaurant is renowned as a fine dining institution in the City.

                                                              7pm booking Although booked under Bookatable special no recognition of this upon arrival and given standard menus only to find these dishes were not in offer. Then given a rather weak 3 course 3 choice 'special menu' which was [$] and therefore not even the [...] deal.Food options very limited so ended up paying over [$] for 2 meals and another [$] for 2 bottles of wine and aperitifs. [$] was a much bigger spend than expected BUT overall was very nice evening. Staff great, ambience excellent and was an impressive venue but at a cost! Food nearly excellent but crispy pork belly starter wasn't crisp and wine prices bit too strong. By all means eat there but don't expect to do it on the cheap.

                                                                    My boyfriend and I went to have dinner in the Brasserie section. We had a deal [$] for 3 courses of delicious and perfectly portioned food, so it was well worth the money. Not usual goers of higher end restaurants, we were slightly nervous. The staff however were extremely friendly and apart from the slightly intimidating way of dropping in some french every now and agai, they made us feel very comfortable. The service was perfect, the food came at the right time, the bread and drink restocked whenever they ran out... would definately go there again, albeit for a treat.
