Gorgeous restaurant in Covent Garden perfect for a special meal
I have to agree with my good friend Formaggio on this one. My favourite thing is the unusual decor - it's festooned with blossom-laden tree branches, and in the summer the courtyard roof opens so you're dining al fresco. In the winter it's much cosier (I seem to remember they have an open fire).
They serve sophisticated and v delicious mediterranean food. Excellent wines and a friendly sommelier who will suggest a glass of wine to go perfectly with your meal. Go for the set lunch option which is, I think, about 16 quid for 2 courses - very good value for food of this quality.
£16 for 2 courses at Maggiore's that sounds like a real bargain! I thought does guys where more expensive.
