Affordable French
Chez Gerard is a good restaurant and is reasonably priced especially if one gets the midweek deal of two courses for 10. The entrecote is really good and the chips are thin and crunchy. The side veggies are also very good and not over done.
You need to book in advance especially on the weekend as the place gets very crowded.

Spanish Tapas
The food at Goya is good but not good enough for the prices. The steak was great. If you are sensitive to garlic then don't eat there because there is practically nothing on the menu that is garlic-free.
The ambience is pleasant but it can get very crowded in the evenings.

Mediocre Ribs
Biguns is cheap and cheerful but really no more than a fast food joint. The BBQ sauce is good but the ribs are quite fatty with only a little bit of meat. There is virtually no variety on the side dishes.
The atmosphere is awful and it feels like you are eating in a school cafeteria

Tangy Thai
Mango Tree is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to in London. The service is fantastic as is the presentation - this is definitely somewhere you could take an out-of-towner if you wanted to give a good impression of London.
Each table receives a bowl of complimentary prawn crackers to start off with (everyone loves freebees) and unlike in most London restaurants the waiters walk round with jugs of water so that one doesn't have to keep asking.
The prices range from 5-10 for a starter and 10-18 for a main and I must say that although, it is a bit pricey, it is definitely worth it. For starters we had crisp vege spring rolls and delicious satai chicken/lamb/beef. The satai sauce was so good that we ended up eating it with the prawn crackers. For main course we had the pineapple fried rice and duck. Drinks were on the expensive side and the barman didn't know what a frozen margherita was, despite the fact that it was on the menu, but aside from that it was a good experience. You get a warm cloth to finish off the meal and wipe off any remaining morsels.

Romantic French Restaurant
We went to Poule au Pot for our anniversary and I was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic service we received. We were served by 3 different waiters, each performing a different role and we never had to wait more than a few minutes between courses.

The decor was very intimate and romantic, the wine we were recommended was good and most importantly -

The food was absolutely sumptuous. We had mushroom soup and pan fried fois gras for starters. The fois gras melted in our mouths. It was enough to make any person lay aside their moral inhibitions about this delectable dish. Our main courses were veal and duck in orange sauce and by the time we reached dessert we were so full that we decided to save the sweets for our next visit.

It was not inexpensive (about 50-60 per head) hence the 4 stars, but well worth it for a special occasion.

Make sure to book ahead as we had to book one month in advance for a Friday night.
