Local's Favourite
West London is a buzz with news of the latest hip place to dine - the High Road Brasserie in Chiswick. The brasserie is part of the swanky High Road House, which contains a boutique hotel and members club upstairs, and the stylish brasserie and Cowshed shop on street level.
The brasserie is open to the general public, and is an attractive place, with its pillars and mirrors, deco-style lighting and colourfully tiled floor, and service is as slick. It was busy on the Friday I visited for lunch, and the phone didn't stop ringing the whole time we were there (which was a little annoying!) with others wanting to check out what all the fuss is about.
The food menu has something for everyone - lighter meals like sandwiches, salads, pastas and burgers - meats such as aged steaks and suckling pig - a big selection of fresh seafood and some very tempting big seafood platters (I shall be going back for dinner!).
For lunch I had the Chicken Club Sandwich, which was served with some very delicious shoestring fries, while my friend had the Pea & Pecorino Risotto which she really enjoyed. Her young son chewed on some crusty bread and seemed to be pretty impressed by the place, as was I.
