Slideshow: New London Restaurants & Foodie Finds

Locations in this article:  Houston, TX London, England Portland, OR

After walking happily around London for hours I was hungry, so I bought the large plate with a choice of three salads and one main. The descriptions, like “heritage carrots with cumin seeds, garlic, lemon, coriander, rocket and pomegranate seeds,” made it a struggle to narrow my choices.

Ultimately I selected the roasted baby potatoes, mixed green beans with asparagus and peas, the red rice and quinoa with mixed nuts and herbs and the roasted chicken. For dessert I chose a piece of plum tart.

Overall, the quality of the dishes was good although the chicken would have been improved by being heated and the potatoes were soggy. The red rice and quinoa salad and the mixed green bean salads were very good. The plum tart was excellent, as well as beautiful.

Given the exchange rate, the lunch cost about $40.00, so it wasn’t cheap.
