Restaurant van de fantastische Antonio Carluccio, als je geluk hebt (zoals ik enige tijd geleden) komt de man zelve even een aantal gasten groeten. Hij is enorm bekend in de UK en zijn kookprogramma "Carluccio!" komt ook op het Belgische Canvas...
The Neil Street Restaurant
"Antonio Carluccio’s flagship restaurant is one of the best in town, handily located in Covent Garden. The maestro uses the beautiful handmade and home-sourced ingredients that he sells through other outlets, and the kitchen here is exceptional. It’s also a pretty spot, and the service should be an example to other restaurants; attentive, friendly but discreet. The menu is short, seasonal but exquisite, and is something of a homage to fungi: the best items all involve either beautiful, succulent wild mushrooms or truffles. Be aware that the truffles will significantly increase the bill; prices however are fair. The pleasant setting and superb food draw a lot of celebrating couples, for the simple reason that a wonderful meal is guaranteed."
