The Dovetail - (Near City of London, london)

Pam Probably the best pho I’ve ever had! The monkfish pho came with a rich seafood broth infused with tomato, a hint of chilli, and Vietnamese fish sauce. The monkfish was perfectly fried and soaked up the broth beautifully — every bite felt like a harmony of flavours. We also tried the chicken pho, made with the vegetarian broth (you can also choose beef). The soup was wonderfully seasoned with layers of vegetable flavours that made it incredibly comforting and flavourful. The restaurant has two floors and is usually packed during meal times. Seating is quite close together, so it can get a bit noisy. The lower ground floor is less ventilated, so if you arrive early, I recommend sitting on the ground floor. Overall, the food is fantastic and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back! P.S. Prices do not include service charge.

Gloria Jin Came here for a Sunday roast dinner and a pint. We arrived before 5:30 and they had run out of the chicken and lamb, so we ended up getting the beef and mushroom Wellington. The portion of food was great, and it really hit the spot. Service was fantastic!

Philip Banks Loved this place. Such fabulous selection of creative and imaginative food. Staff so friendly and efficient. Great relaxed modern ambience. Our rescue greyhound chilled there too. A must-go-to place for meeting friends for a coffee or lunch. Thank you Clerkenwell Kitchen!

Hannah Copsey The team were so lovely and looked after our large party so well. I am vegan and coeliac was able to eat the poke bowl which was nice.

Shanaz Set in an old bank building just off Exmouth Market, this place is super cool in an understated way. We booked counter seats to watch the chefs in action - not the comfiest, but in keeping with the building’s style (loved the drawer storage for cutlery and menus!). The food was excellent, especially the mussel pil pil which is a must-try along with salted cod churros. Beautifully presented dishes and really attentive service throughout. They even moved us to a table when they noticed my friend was uncomfortable, which was much appreciated. Would happily return.

Martin Popoff Been here today a bit early and had a nice talk with the guy working there. I got the first cut of the day and it was really delicious. The cole slaw also was refreshing. Should fit nice with the chicken schnitzel as well. Will come back here!
