    Probably the best restaurant for those wanting a good dining experience before an Arsenal Game at the Emirates. Only 400 metres from the South Entrance. Small plates served with a mixture of Mediterranean and French styles with a bit of influence from North Africa. We found all to our taste, with perhaps the rice pudding the only dish where the execution was a little bit disappointing. Otherwise good selection of choices across food and beverage and very timely and "on the spot" service. Not particularly cheap so expect to spend if you have a couple of drinks about £70 a person inc Service.

    We have been coming to westerns laundry for many years. We enjoyed our lunch but the food was ‘safe’. We have been used (for many years) to Great flavours and inventive cooking - but that was lacking.

    Fantastic food from the top to the bottom of the menu....we tried most of them ! The Cod was super fresh and the Onglet was incredible. The stand out dish was the spinach with slipcote cheese and walnuts. This group of restaurants always make vegetable taste special. Oh and the crab Fideua with ali oli was great too. It's all good. The service is friendly and welcoming and just what you want from a "neighbourhood restaurant". Thank you for a really nice evening, really special !

    Fantastic staff and a warm and friendly welcome. We had a booty table (highly recommend) staff were really lovely. Fish heavy menu as a heads up, the restaurant Amy is lively and ambiance was perfect. We were rushed off the table after 2 hours unfortunately (offered another table) but that was the only thing that spoilt it for us. Wine is very expensive.. overall a lovely evening.
