Loz Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 About 12 of us want to meet up on Good Friday for a bit of a grazing lunch. Looking for somewhere not too cheap, but not too pricey either. We're all over London, so somewhere reasonably central would be good.Any ideas?

Nigello Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I would recommend The Delaunay at Aldwych. It has good food, great service and big tables. You can have a good brunch and feel like you are treating yourself without breaking the bank. The seats/booths are big and comfortable, there is a cloakroom as well as coat hangers in the dining area (so no need for that dreadful coats-on-chair-backs busines)and there is a good mix of locals and tourists.

Louisa Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Las Iguanas on the Southbank. You'd probably need to book. South American themed restaurant. Not for everyone, but great for sharing platters/tapas for large groups. Great atmosphere and two for one deals on cocktails if that floats your boat. Food is pretty decent too. Louisa.

EDOldie Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My choice would be brasserie Zedel right by Piccadilly Circus and much more reasonable than the Delaunay or Wolsley of which group it is a part.

Nigello Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I have been to both and prefer the Delaunay. The prices are broadly similar and the acoustics in the Delanunay - though not perfect - are better and there's natural light. I found BZ to be way too loud and busy and I don't like the fact there's nary a window in sight (if I remember correctly). Another place to consider is the German Gymnasium but I think it may be a little bit more ?? and not best suited to such large groups.

MissDumpling Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'd definitely go for tapas for grazing for a group that size.

Either are fantastic though. Yes I'm biased, but I'm also right ;-)!

Loz Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Well, in the end someone else got some suggestions in and we ended up at the Price Regent in Marylebone. Rather nice, I must say.But thanks all for the recommendations and they will be put to use on a later outing.

Amazing that a pub in Marylebone can do a decent breakfast..Cherry Orchard sausage, smoked bacon, a fried egg, beans, confit tomato, grilled mushroom & toast with butterAll for ?7.00Sort of adds justice to my recent moan about a certain Peckham cafe offering Scrambled Egg on toast for the same price.I rest my case...DulwichFox Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/99064-looking-for-a-restaurant-for-a-group/#findComment-978423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
