Alastair Little

Frommer's Review

In an 1830 brick-fronted townhouse, this informal, cozy restaurant is a pleasant place to enjoy a well-prepared lunch or dinner. Some critics claim that Alastair Little is the best chef in London, but lately he's been buried under the avalanche of new talent. Actually, Little is not often here; the talented Sue Lewis is usually in charge. Style is modern European with a slant toward Italian. The menu changes daily. Starters are always tantalizing, including the roast pear and Pecorino cheese salad or Tuscan chestnut soup with Capezzena oil. Main dishes show skill and a wise use of market-fresh ingredients, as evoked by such dishes as roast breast and braised leg of pheasant with beet root and roast celeriac or the rump of lamb with artichokes and French beans. Roasted cod comes in a mussel sauce and is quite delightful.
