    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.

    Pork was very tough unfortunately. Crab pasta was the best dish. A bit too expensive
