London house in Battersea,arrive a bit early and sit in the lounge area.I think it's Gordon Ramsay's rest,however reasonable prices,smart looking ,great service,definitely suitable for a 40th bday in 2!

Trinity gets my vote, they are have an 'Upstairs' restaurant which is smaller sharing plates and less formal which was buzzing when we went on a week night recently.

Love The Dairy and Chez Bruce!

I would recommend Sinabro on Battersea Rise; small restaurant with a talented French chef. It's full of flavour and when you come out, you don't fill stuffed at all !

Trinity is great, recommend it too.

Went to the Dairy and like it too. Would say to go for a la carte but not choose the tasting menu as it's a lot to eat !

They just opened a new place called The Manor which is getting rave reviews as well.

Another vote for Sinabro! Also Tsunami and Chez Bruce would be my other top 2 picks.

Hey! If you are foodie and want to try something new then I must say you have to check out starbuck secret menu. I am sure here you will definitely get famous Starbucks drinks. My favorite one is Vanilla Bean Cream Frappuccino.

Another vote for Lamberts. Much better than Chez B.

Trinity every time, personally I much prefer it to chez Bruce which is always slightly disappointing. Need to book a fair way in advance if possible.

I love abbeville kitchen on abbeville road, the food is as good as trinity imo. However the decor and atmosphere is quite casual. Trinity feels quite smart and romantic so might be better for an occasion. I have been to Santa Maria del sur once, had a fab steak.. Also quite a casual feel to it.

Zumbura in the Old Town is an excellent modern Indian and I also love WC - Wine and Charcuterie underneath Clapham Common tube. Clapham and Battersea are becoming more foodie after a bit of a stale period I think.

For a special occasion Trinity or for a more relaxed evening (but still amazing food) we loved The Dairy !

I just checked the Green Room website and they have indeed changed their menu. We may be tempted to try again as the space is attractive.

Agree with Sinabro. Always good. I have to say that I had an absolutely abysmal supper at the Green Room. Fish with fried banana? Pork with orange sauce? Not any better in reality than on paper. Having said that, I think they may have sacked the chef and changed the menu, as this was a while back. I still miss Entrée.

A second vote for Sinabro which is excellent. The Chef Yoann is Michelin trained and Sujin Lee epitomises customer service. The food is superb, good value and definitely some of the best I've eaten in 15 years between the commons.

I'd second the Green Room recommendation. We were there this weekend and as a party of 4 treated it as a tasting menu and ordered one of everything.

Delicious ingredients, interesting combinations and a really lively atmosphere. Good bar downstairs with live music for a pre or post dinner g&t too!
