A rave review for Viajante, a sound report for Trullo but little to be said for Redhook.
Viajante
“For the foodiest foodies,“ Marina writes, “this is as close as we get to a Holy Grail.“ Nuno Mendes is hailed as a “maverick“; whose food is sorely needed in London's “often stodgy restaurant scene“.
A purely positive write up for this East End newcomer.
Redhook
Evening Standard, Fay Maschler
“An agreeable industrial feeling“ is conveyed by the layout of Redhook, but unfortunately the “dull“ and rather overpriced menu, and well-meaning waiters with “a degree from the University of Irritating Questions“ do not add much to the overall experience.
The Merchant's Yard
Evening Standard, Andrew Neather
If you want honest Russian grub, or you are “a Russian in London with a hankering for food just like your mum makes it“, this is the place for you. However, “Russian cuisine in London still awaits its Jamie Oliver“.
Trullo
"Trullo has the utility chic look that has designers reaching for their mood boards", and "cheery" service. Plus "Trullo's excellent value for the standard of its dishes".
