In London, there’s a Browns for fashion and a Brown’s Hotel, but Browns the spacious brasserie is the Browns you can afford. Installed in the former Westminster County Courts (check out the old proceedings chambers upstairs), this high-quality, Brighton-based English chain serves updated English food and imported beer. The globe lanterns, enormous mirrors, and staff buttoned into crisp white oxford shirts impart the sense of a Gilded Age chophouse. Expect lots of indulgently hearty dishes such as lobster risotto, steak and Guinness pie, fish-and-chips, or a nice fat burger with Irish cheddar. A sense of tradition—starchy, but the kind that’s welcoming to tourists—is the main product here.
