Balfour, Bloomsbury

We went to Balfour in Bloomsbury for lunch and a catch up/goodbye to one of my friends who is returning to Germany this week. It's such an adorable restaurant - in a lovely, not too busy part of London. The weather was pretty awesome too, so perfect for alfresco dining!

I seriously love independent restaurants like the Balfour - the menu was eclectic and crazy, and we managed to identify French, Italian, English and Spanish dishes on the menu despite the fact that it markets itself as an Italian. We unadventurously all went for the Chicken Milanese which was huge and came with loads of spaghetti in a light tomato sauce and salad with the yummiest dressing ever.

Dessert was amazing, I'm a massive panna cotta fan and when I saw a coconut version on the menu I pounced. Unfortunately, we couldn't taste any coconut at all but we weren't too bothered because the raspberry coulis was delish.


We also had wine and Sangria which was reasonably priced and lovely. Seriously recommend a visit, especially when it's sunny out!

PANNA COTTA FOREVER.
