The Companion: a pal for a lazy leisurely lunch
The Dolla: £15-£20 a head
Bibendum (aka the Michelin Man) has to be the one of London's most iconic places to 'do lunch' or sip on a glass of champagne. The Oyster Bar is my go-to destination for my annual Christmas lunch with my Dad. Timeless, classic yet casual. I love the atmosphere.
If you're looking for 'fishy things'; especially oysters then you need to stop in your tracks at Bibendum.
The Plateau de Fruits de Mer is a good choice if you want to sample lots of different things, I do have my favourites on the menu though; oysters (of course) served with all the appropriate trimmings, tasty garlic prawns and finally Roll Mop Herrings with onion salad and creme fraiche; a special dish I don't allow myself to order anywhere else.
You're surrounded by beautiful ceramic tiles depicting great Michelin races of the past, the staff are lovely and the food and drinks are first class. The epitome of 'an oldie but a goodie' - the Michelin Man always delivers.
