LE PAIN QUOTIDIEN (Southbank)

Category: Bistro red traffic2 150x150 LE PAIN QUOTIDIEN (Southbank)(££)

After an amazing classical concert by the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, my parents and I wanted a quick bite to eat and a nice glass of red wine to go with it. For me it’s always rather difficult to find a decent place to eat around the Southbank Centre. Too many generic chain restaurants and too many tourists queuing in front of them. As it was already quite late we just went into the first restaurant that crossed our ways, that was Le Pain Quotidien. Le Pain Quotidien is a Belgian chain with restaurants with subsidiaries all over the world. I liked the rustic communal tables and the waiters were polite and helpful.

CAFE LUC (Marylebone)

I was invited to  review Cafe Luc, which is a new restaurant in Marylebone. The Belgian restaurateur Luc van Oostende has opened Cafe Luc together with his daughter Julie. The result is a swank brasserie with Belgian/French inspired food. It is in general rather pricey but also offers cheaper options with starters ranging from 5.50 to 12.50 pounds and mains starting from 12 pounds. In addition, their three course set menu for 1 5.50 seems very good value for money.
