Sargasso Sea - a place to remember
Perfection. Winchmore Hill was never complete until it became home to this superb fish restaurant.
Recently refurbished and with the addition of an outdoor terrace, it seems to just get better and better.
The chef here is a genuine wizard. He makes the simplest ingredients taste like the most sensational delicacies. The seafood platter is breath taking - the kind of dish you dream about from time to time. It keeps you busy for at least an hour picking your way through the wonderful selection of fish and shell fish.
Aside from the fish, they also offer the best Sunday roasts around. The roast beef is remarkably good, in fact, the best I have ever had. With the additional bonus of perfect gravy and imaginatively prepared vegetables, it quickly became a favourite for my family and a number of my friends.
The food is expensive, even the set menus are quite pricey, but for a special occasion, it really is more than worth the money - because you can't put a price on food this good!
