London Restaurant Tips by shiobain

Restaurant Name: The Ivy

It wasn't quite what i was expecting, in terms of decor. Whatever picture i had in my mind, it wasn't the right one.. You hear about The Ivy, the place where the celebrities go for fine dining, where you can't get a table etc

It is not a massive place, and tables are fairly close to one another. There is mahoganey panelling yet modern pictures on the walls.

The menu is a combination of local and international dishes. Bangers & mash, chicken tikka massala, hamburger and chips etc.

Deserts were divine.

With a couple of good bottles of wine, and 3 courses each, our bill came to about 50 pound per head. I thought it was going to be a lot more.

They keep tables aside for the celebs who might ring up last minute, so it is worth giving them a call a couple of days prior to your required date, cos you never know, you might just be lucky to get a table.

Restaurant Name: The Little Star,

The Little Star is a hidden gem in Willesden Green.

It has a bright airy feel to it and it is decorated with one half dedicated to white wine and the other to red wine.

During the week, there is a special lunch and dinner menu where you can get two courses for £5.50.
Other courses are reasonably priced as well and there is a good selection of wines. Service has always been very good.
There is a private room should you wish to hold a small function, which probably seats about 10-12 people.

Favorite Dish: Roast dinner on a Sunday is usually pretty good.
