Ten things that I discovered during these holidays!

DISCOVERY ONE



About Thyme Bar & Bistro - 82 Wilton Road, Pimlico, London SW1V 1DL

Great location in Pimlico. Five star food, but nice and casual, not one of those restaurants where you feel uncomfortable if you aren't in Gucci. But it is packed out every night. You MUST book early. Best to do it a couple of days ahead if you can, but if you book on the day you will probably get a table if you eat early.

Where I had:

A dozen Snails Baked in the Shell with Garlic, Brandy, Parsley and Pernod Butter £7.50

Barbary Duck's Breast, Potato Rosti, Braised Red Cabbage and Red Currant Jus £15.50

Tia Maria, Espresso and Baileys Creme Brulee £5.50

with a

Les Jamelles Marsanne, Vin de Pays d’Oc 2006 £17.50




A very yummy discovery and excellent value by London standards.
