Cafe Cecilia. Boiled egg, Guinness bread, and it had a lot of earnestness and nostalgia to it.

Max cooked here before they opened Cafe Cecilia I think! They were our first Quo Vadis and Friends dinner post-COVID, so it was all very special and quite a deep bond was created there. It’s a beautiful place and a magnificent room, the light is really extraordinary. The food is great and they have a lovely crew. That’s a great favourite as well. They’re a classic example of somewhere you have to book - you’ve got to be on your mettle! If you haven’t booked by at least the Wednesday before you’re dead in the water.
Also named by: Time Out.
