There are a few nice wine bars near Borough Market if you're going to be in that area, plus the Market Porter pub. Or try Brindisa, where I enjoyed lunch a few weeks ago.
Surprising that - according to the web site they have an 'award winning cellar'.
You might have to shout to be heard here as it can get extremely busy.
That one is now The International.
Excellent article. I wonder if the reduced price strategies mentioned in the last couple of paragraphs will catch on. It used to be what got me through the doors of places I might not otherwise have visited (many of which, sadly, are now defunct).
and I were interested in buying a small restaurant in a village location in the Midlands. We eventually decided it was far too expensive and business wise a non-starter. We totted up the potential maximum income and realised that the cost of a decent chef and other staff would swallow up most of the profits.
We thought that owned and managed by a live-in chef it might possibly make a profit, and a while later a chef and his wife did buy it. He was very good and won a Michelin star for his efforts, but I heard last November that they'd moved on and the place had closed again.
