London eateries

Can anyone recommend a nice restaurant in the Liverpool Street area? the hotel were staying in actually has 4 restaurants inside but they are a bit too la de dar

Le Trois Garcons is fantastic http://www.lestroisgarcons.com/choice.php and you can also have cocktails at their sister bar Loungelover.

Less formal The Hoxton Apprentice on Hoxton Square is great (run along similar lines as Jamie Olivers 15) http://www.hoxtonapprentice.com/

Cru is also nice just off Hoxton Square http://www.cru.uk.com/Pages/index.html

All bout 10 mins walk from Liverpool Street.

Restaurants round Liv St, are 1 of 3 types:

City eateries for poshish nosh;

Trendy do's up by Shoreditch (though a littl ebit of a walk, and have to mix with the skinny jeaned mases!

or Ruby's in Brick Lane .

Most standard chains are also represented, Slug & Lettuce etc, though if you're in town, I wouldn't go there.

What are you looking for?

Oh, and from the offset, Cru comes vvv highly recomended.

What are you doing in Liverpool St if you don't mind me asking? I work a few yards form there.

Thanks for the recommendations Sarah, brilliant websites, so far i like the look of the Hoxton Apprentice, its not too fussy and it has lamb

Dan - Thank you too, i have been told that their are a few indian restaurants around there which might also fit the bill, it depends on what everyone else fancies i suppose.

Were staying at Great Eastern Hotel and going to The Cross so that's our reason, do you work in the financial district then?, or is that a different area of London?

We went to Joe Allens before going to The Cross. It is a cosy little restuarant, mainly for theatre types but the food is excellent.

I'm with you grego... I never eat before going out. I'll have a big breakfast on clubbing days and that'll be it until after the event.

Hasten to add that i dont infact go mad anymore when i go out, few drinks then water and thats it. Also wont be there for very long, 4 hours probably tops.

If i was going to get mashed then i wouldnt have a big meal before hand either, maybe a bit of pasta earlier on in the evening to give me energy for a shape-a-thon.

sorry mambs, my comment was to sirens not you. i wasn't telling you to not eat or anything!!

btw - i'm soooo over owls now. still a bit :x with bats!
