Picture, 110 Great Portland Street , London W1W 6PQ
She said: He returned from a business
trip early so I picked Picture for a lunchtime catch up. It was a lovely
contrast to step in out of the grey, rainy London day into a
bright, long, modern space with wooden floors and a glass roof at the rear of
the room, which is where we were seated. The set lunchtime menu at £15 was
fantastic value and each dish perfectly delicious. My tomato salad starter was
full of flavour bursting from the different coloured tomatoes which mixed
perfectly with cucumber and goats cheese. The haddock risotto was not what I
expected (a piece of nicely cooked haddock placed a top some delicious risotto
instead of the fish being mixed in which was my misgiving) and a chocolate
mousse of the highest quality with summer berries to finish. At the end of the
meal I felt comfortably satisfied as opposed to stuffed which suited me but I
guess the dishes could each have been a bit bigger but I really shouldn’t
complain as Picture offers a lovely smart yet relaxed space, good service and
inventive food at great prices. More reason why it was sad we were the only
diners – London, stop jumping on the same-ole-same-ole restaurant bandwagon and
get wise to restaurants like Picture which should easily be a Fitzrovia
favourite.
