I was in London today as my sis and I took our Old Dear for a belated birthday day out. My sis being the family's Metropolis dweller and fashionista (of blog writing variety) who wouldn't, no couldn't allow herself to take us out somewhere less than excellent, picked perfectly again and took us to Charlotte's Bistro in Chiswick.
It is a unassuming place on Turnham Green Terrace with a split level, bar at the front and raised dining area at the rear which has a large skylight. 3 courses of beautiful dishes for lunch at near Michaelin starred quality for under £20, friendly and informed staff too. Well worth a visit if you're in the area, even for dinner which is under £30 for 3 courses.
However, my actual dinner wasn't until later at Pizza Hut on Newmarket Road in Cambridge, which was the only place still serving food that was not (just) a takeaway on our way home. Much later, in fact after 10pm, after I had seen a preview evening as part of Her art exhibition with other artists which is part of Cambridge Open Studios. Worth a look on July weekends. The food was actually okay, we had a large, thin crust, Chicken Supreme, but the situation must've looked terrible. A man dragging his dressed up girlfriend into Pizza Hut late at night seemingly for a date of pizza and endless salad refills. Classy.
