City Spice really nails the balance between great food and great service. The team is friendly and knowledgeable without ever being pushy. Spicy, flavorful food beautifully presented. Loved the cozy interior too. A solid choice for a relaxed dinner with friends.

One of the finest, dining experiences in London. Our second fabulous dinner at this amazing gem of a restaurant. The MOST delicious, tasty food, that is presented beautifully. 104 Restaurant is up there with the many other multi Michelin starred restaurants in London. It truly deserves at least 1 or 2 stars. Michelin - you need to check this place out asap. The lobster ravioli was heavenly, packed full of the freshest, most succulent, sweet lobster meat. Delicious home made foie gras, with a tiny serving of tarte tatin on the side. The 2 things are a superb match Then beautiful red mullet and lamb. Richard’s Soufflés are the best you’ll find in town. Feather light, not too sweet and oh SO tasty. Served with homemade, silky ice cream. The freshly baked bread is like a hybrid of bread and Yorkshire pudding, served warm, straight from the oven, steeped in tasty olive oil, with a sprinkle of sea salt. Crisp on the outside and immensely fluffy on the inside. DIVINE ! £60 for 3 courses or £120 for the tasting menu

Farringdon

About the restaurant

56 West Smithfield was founded by a family of winemakers, with a passion for creating unique, hand-crafted wines.

Our family vineyard, Château De La Cômbe, is a small, boutique vineyard in Provence. Determined to make exceptional reds and whites in a region renowned for its rosés, we spent years lovingly restoring the chateau and estate, rebuilding the winemaking cave with state-of-the-art equipment and re-planting and tending to the vines. It wasn’t long before our organic wines began winning international awards – a testament to quality winemaking in Provence.

Eager to share our wines with the world, we partnered with like-minded, family-owned and boutique wineries to bring our rare and wonderful wines to you at 56 West Smithfield, without costly intermediaries.

We were running 5mins late for our booked table. We were welcomed straight away and drinks order taken. Our table was wiped and set and we were good to go. Appetizers took a little time to arrive as the restaurant was full and buzzing! Main course arrived and I just wish that my arrabiata had been a smidge more punchy. Overall, a lovely meal out :)
