I thought the Guardian’s Word of Mouth was a tad harsh with Eat & Two Veg this morning:

Restaurants are often given a bad name. Quite literally in the case of Marylebone’s vegetarian Eat and Two Veg. With a name to make even a provincial barber groan, ETV (I refuse to type it again) rather undermines the meat-free diner’s attempts at contemporary style. It would seem good food does not equal good taste.

I’d rather eat under a bad pun than the name of a celebrity chef for example, but if the food is great (and it really is good here) should the name of the place really matter? Eat & Two Veg seem to revel in the bad punning, but that hasn’t put some of our users off:

“As an unreconstructed carnivore I was initially sceptical (especially with the pun-laden menu), but when you get down to it, the food here is darn tasty,” says qwghlm while GreenHippo suggests we try “the Crispy Aromatic Luck and the Schnitzel - my two favourite dishes on the menu”.

The Rock & Sole Plaice also seems to do well…

So good food wins out over bad punning, but that being said I did spot that Thaitanic in N8 hasn’t had any reviews yet…
