GAILs Bakery Exmouth Market - (Near City of London, london)

Steve Gannon Great food and of course, an amazing choice of beer - bottles and on tap. The table service is fantastic, as soon as you near the bottom of the glass they’re taking your next order.

Dom Ahern Loved this place. Every single member of staff was just amazing, super attentive, charming and knew their stuff. We went in the evening and the atmosphere was perfect, kitchen upstairs and a mixture of big and small tables with candles, fun but relaxed and not too hectic. Felt really well looked after which made the evening. The wine choices and food were superb and waiters helped us choose. Possibly on the slightly pricey side, but because everything was perfect it still seemed great value. Def recommend for those happy to spend a bit of money, or want to feel spoilt in relaxed but buzzy setting. My new favourite place.

Y M Food was excellent! We had pork escalopes and smoked fish for the main course - absolutely delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant was overall so cosy: candlelight, live music, and a very welcoming vibe.

Ralphie This was my venue of choice for our Sunday lunch before leaving London to head home. May I pat myself on the back? A cracking old pub serving excellent food, across our group we had three different roasts with all of them receiving praise. The service was brilliant and I really have nothing but praise for the staff, food and drinks. Try it out.

Chris Berry In 2001 a cookbook was published that totally crystalised my love of Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine. Written by husband-and-wife chefs-patrons Sam and Sam Clark, it entirely captured not only the dishes they had encountered in their extensive travels, but also those they served in their beautifully unpretentious restaurant Moro, in Londons Farringdon. My partner and I first dined at Moro in 2010 and loved it, and on a recent weekend trip to London to celebrate my partners birthday we felt a return trip to the restaurant was well overdue. It did on disappoint. From the outset the service was warm, friendly, and efficient. The vibe of the restaurant could be described as "warm-minimalist", being stylish, clean, and uncluttered, but with comfortable furniture and decorated with a colour palate that draws on the places Spanish/Mediterranean focus. However, the absolute star of the show is Moros food - and drink! My starter of beetroot soup with black cumin and dill yoghurt was packed with earthy spicy flavours, perfect for an autumn day. A main of wood roasted pork belly with trinxat, crispy pancetta, fried turnips and sherry vinegar, was beyond delicious, with the richness of the succulent pork being perfectly balanced by the sharp-sweetness of the sherry vinegar. And the dessert of Malaga raisin ice cream with Pedro Ximenez sherry was divine. My partners choices of cuttlefish with chickpeas, wood roasted lamb shoulder with romesco, and rose water and cardamom ice cream were equally delicious. Paired with a couple of aperitifs and an excellent bottle of red wine from Alicante, our lunch was simply splendid. Sure, there a few young pretenders on the block, but there is a reason Moro has been around for a while, because with service, atmosphere, and food this good, its a restaurant that is very hard to beat.

Water Chung This was my first time experiencing a dining-in-the-dark restaurant, and it also happened to be a birthday celebration, which made it even more special. The entire experience felt fresh, unique, and surprisingly enjoyable. Our guide and server, Michael, was extremely professional and reassuring. His clear guidance helped ease any initial fear or discomfort of dining in complete darkness, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. The quality of the food was excellent, and dining in the dark created a unique opportunity to focus purely on flavors and textures. It was also interesting and enjoyable to interact with others in the darkness, which added an unexpected social element to the evening. What truly surprised us was how time passed so quickly when we were fully focused on the food and conversation. It was a genuinely pleasant, memorable, and highly satisfying dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different and meaningful.
