Palm Court Brasserie – You Can’t Beat the Classics

We are all creatures of habit but, as my blogging buddies will tell you, it can become a little frustrating; we want our blogs to show a diverse range of cuisine and that means we can’t always order our fall back favourites. However, sometimes the classics are the best and often this means good old-fashioned French cooking. The Palm Court Brasserie is a Covent Garden stalwart which is open from midday to midnight seven days week.

I chose one of my favourites, a Nicoise Salad, to transport me out of Covent Garden and into the sunny Cote d’Azur. Well ok not quite… it was a lovely salad, despite a slight overload of raw onion.

Mr S veered away from our French theme but went for another classic, the British Roast.

And he soon went to work on his piled up plate.
