    This is the sort of spot that makes you wish you lived around the corner. I loved the lamb ragù pappardelle, and simply trust whatever the staff suggests for wine.

    Staff is knowledgeable on wine. The food is amazing. Can get a bunch of dishes and share. I had the pork tagliatelle and mike had the pigeon for our mains.

    Second time here. I take back my previous tip - this time the service was excellent and the turbot was light and delightful.

    This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in London over 20 years living here. The restaurant is cosy, food is superb and the staff are super friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back!

    What should pointed out mostly is the cozy and laid back ambiance of this place and the good service. Great list of wines. The fish and pasta we tried were all delicious and fresh.

    Great ambiance and food - the sardines (save some bread for this) and pumpkin were great starter dishes, the duck main and potato ravioli main were also v good. Large wine list as well

    One of my favourite London restaurants, we recently went for a girls dinner, food was 10/10, staff are 10/10. Try the tiramisu for desert - I'm not even a desert person... it's the bomb.

    Excellent wine list that focuses mainly on natural wines. The terrines and pates are the standout food dishes. Very good overall.

    Tiramisu (pictured) was very good. Food & panacota were just ok. They made us wait for 20min for our table even though we had a reservation. Very nice waiter, though

    Love this place. Start with cheese and wine and continue with anything on the menu. Ask for recommendations, the service is excellent.

    The staff in here are great and they know their terrines from their patés – which, with a menu like this, is definitely needed. It's primarily a wine bar, so lose yourself in the massive wine list. Read more

    The quail (pictured) was ok. The appetizer w/ eel was very good. Service was excellent but this place is a long drive from downtown & it didn't live up to the expectations

    Earnest in the East End: Brawn has a fast-changing menu and is relaxed and cool, but it is not worth travelling the length of the city for. We gave it 3/5 stars. Read more

    Recommended: Check out the slow cooked column of the menu - venison ragù w/ pappardelle, wild rabbit w/ chard & pearl barley broth, and tête de veau, all of which are available for under twelve quid Read more

    I thought the food was solid & if you take your time, you can find a good wine for value. The service isn't that great unfortunately.

    The foie gras is amazing, however I am a bit disappointed overall: the cod was really bland and it took ages to get the food.
