We got the recommended bottle of red wine (which name escapes my memory at this time but you may be able to recognise form the photos) and received a great bread basket of sourdough and wholemeal bread.
This photo below makes it look like the restaurant is huge but it is actually a mirrored wall, in reality I would say it could seat maybe 25 people maximum downstairs.
On the day that my boyfriend and I visited, this was the menu:
It is handwritten everyday so excuse the photos if you are unable to read them.
For picky eaters this may be quite a hard restaurant to pick because you do not know until you arrive what you are going to be able to order but I personally think it is a great menu catering to all tastes and so you should be able to find something. (or just have 3 puddings *heart eyes emoji*)
For starters, we shared a plate of the Wood Pigeon Breast.
It was the ultimate comfort food style course and it tasted amazing. I definitely would recommend this if it is on the menu when you visit.
Then for main courses, we got the duck breast and the lemon sole. We had half of each dish each as we like to taste as much as possible. The portion sizes were really good, especially the size of the lemon sole.
Sorry about the quality of these photos, the candles casted so many shadows that it was hard to keep them out the photos.
All the food tasted fresh and very flavoursome, I was very impressed with the quality of the ingredients.
As a chocolate lover, I simply had to order the chocolate and cherry tart for us to share for pudding. Unfortunately it was so good that it was devoured before a photo was taken...
I can say that it was very rich so the perfect pudding to share (although I definitely had more than my fair share).
This restaurant is definitely worth the slightly higher prices as you can tell that the food is of a great quality and tastes amazing.
After dinner we walked down towards Leicester Square and visited the Comedy Carnival for some light laughs to end the night. Despite arriving late (we got a little too attached to the food at Andrew Edmunds) we were quietly shuffled in and had a great time.
It was very dark but you get the jist from these photos that it was situated in a dark underground room with a little bar at the side for the breaks. As one of the comedians put it, it was the sort of the place a comedy show would have to be if comedy was illegal.
Bear in mind the drinks prices are extortionate so take my advice and have drinks with dinner before visiting to lubricate your comedy receptors. (everything is funnier when slightly tipsy)
For £12 for a concession ticket and some well known comedian headliners I think this show is a great option if you want to end the night on a high of laughter.
