Qype: St Alban in London



London - Restaurants - British

Have been exploring lunch venues within reach of Qype HQ now we've moved to Leicester Square, and came across St. Alban today. Absolutely fantastic lunch in a laid back yet fairly stylish setting, hidden from the maddening crowds behind thick set doors and frosted glass on Lower Regent Street.

I took the quail and pancetta salad to start, which was divine. Tiny soft boiled eggs with strips of quail in a great dressing, oily, but not over the top.

Following that, the roast pork belly with white peaches and black pudding was out of this world. Lovely cracking on top!

For dessert, I had a summer berries with a blackberry sorbet, all washed down with a delicious glass of Gaillac - an old favourite of mine from when I lived in Toulouse.

Top notch, great service, and not outrageously expensive either. Especially if you're not paying. I shall be back!
