I heard of the 108 Marylebone Lane with TopTable. It's one of the most booked places on the site. The particularity of the 108 Marylebone is that they supply most of their food locally, at least they claim they do. What are the local places? Well, you have three sources: the Ginger Pig for meat (a GREAT butcher), Biggles for sausages and La Fromagerie for cheese.
Service is excellent. Atmosphere is a bit austere for me, but a few of my dates liked it. So I guess everyone is different.
When it comes to food, it's a good place very affordable who does not lie to you. They serve what they say they serve: locally supplied, well cooked dish. Food reminds me of familial food, but better presented... Basically the food is great for someone hungry. Don't expect anything delicate. It's good familial British food.
No more talk, now the photos!
We had a homemade terrine - they don't even mention it is homemade, and they should... cause it was the gift of the lunch in my opinion. Traditional terrine, made like our grandma used to cook. Rich, filling and yummy.
Lovely homemade terrine
It was very tasty and done traditionally
Sausage and mash
It tastes as good as it look.
No comments needed for that.
Fresh and tasty sausages
We ordered as well cod which was just very nice and fresh. Very soft too. Not the freshest fish I ever had, but still to a high standard.
Cod with chickpeas
It was very nice, but not the best I ever had. Not too delicate.
Dessert was a chocolate tart... and that was ... erm... LUSH ! And I still did not manage to become a chocolate fan, but that one was tasty and chocolatey...
I did love the chocolate tart...
It worked very well, was definitely
home made and to a high standard.
All in all, the 108 Marylebone Lane is a good address to go if you want to have familial food, better presented for an affordable price, particularly if you book it in advance with TopTable.
