Numbers Game Split into a brasserie and a bar, 108 Marylebone Lane is the perfect space for after-work drinks, pre-dinner aperitifs or a full-on feast with a casual ambience but a chic clientele. The interiors are suitably stylish but understated, with a subdued colour scheme of beige and brown interspersed with daring splashes of red. An oversized painting by Peter Denmark emblazoned on one wall finishes things off nicely, together with simple, dark wooden tables and comfortable leather armchairs to sink into. The menu itself is
headed up by Executive Chef Norman Farquharson, with classic
dishes featured heavily and an emphasis on fresh local produce. For starters Gunpowder
indulged in Honey-Mustard Glazed Suffolk Pork Belly served with black
pudding and puy lentil sauce, which was as good as its mouthwatering
description. For mains we went with the Confit Gressingham Duck Leg
with caramelised chicory, orange and sweet potato puree. Lipsmackingly
good, to say the least! A rather heavy dinner was finished off with a
light dessert of Ice Orange Parfait served with cranberry compote,
which left our palettes cleansed for more delectable red wine. With
a village feel to it in the heart of London Town, 108 Marylebone Lane
offers up hearty country fare at its very best - without having to tear
out of the city last thing on a Friday night. www.108marylebonelane.com / Images: 108 Marylebone Lane  |
