Browns Bar & Brasserie - Old Jewry Description

browns restaurant old jewry Located in the heart of the Square Mile and only hundred yards from Bank tube station, Browns Old Jewry is one of the City's hidden treasures. Even though the restaurant has only been open since 1999, for many of its regular guests it seems impossible to think of a time when Browns in the City didn't exist.

Located just off Cheapside, Browns offers excellent wines, cocktails and delicious food all served by one of the friendliest and slickest front of house teams in London.

The large restaurant is located on two different floors with a mezzanine level catering perfectly for private parties and events. Browns Old Jewry has developed its fantastic reputation by making every guest feel welcomed and special, which is no mean feat when you see how busy it gets, particularly at lunchtime.

Browns is a classic English restaurant with a menu that evolves rather than changes. It offers a genuine value for money experience and can cater well for large parties with a more expansive budget. A plate of appetisers to share comes in either vegetarian, Italian meat or seafood form, or there are thin and crisp flatbreads topped with such delights as garlic, rocket and Parmesan. Starters cleverly re-invent some of the classic brasserie dishes; expect to find crab and avocado salad, ham hock terrine, and a fine selection of freshly made soups depending on the day.

Fish and salad dishes include Browns's smoked fishcakes witha tomato, red onion and mixed leaf salad with horseradish crème fraîche. A real value seafood platter will have smoked salmon, Browns crab mix, squid, kiln cured salmon, large shell-on tiger prawn and marinated king scallop assembled together served with brown bread and butter.

Browns's own steak, mushroom and Guinness pie is a real puller, with the rack of lamb not too far behind. Profiteroles with a warm Belgian chocolate sauce and sticky toffee pudding combine traditional with new classic, but the fact is that after years of experience in the field of what might be termed comfortable eating, Browns have it pretty well stitched up.

Evenings are a more relaxed affair as people enjoy a leisurely meal after work or before visiting one of the Barbican's theatres. The bar gets particularly busy early in the evening as office workers enjoy a beer, a glass of wine or a bottle of champagne from London's best value for money list.

Step into Browns for a relaxed weekday breakfast or brunch with newspapers, simple food and a well constructed Bloody Mary. And what a brunch it is! Fresh melon and pineapple with Greek style yogurt and blueberries, eggs Florentine, Royale or Benedict, the full English, champagne by the glass or smoothies, it's all there.

Private parties are especially well catered for with packages ranging from a full sit down dinner to a canapé and drinks event. Browns Old Jewry provides the perfect balance between the energy of London's West End and the refined sharp of the City.

Your Reviews of Browns Bar & Brasserie - Old Jewry

George Robinson (6 August 2008)

What a wonderful place, this is the best Browns in the group and I have been to most all over the UK. The food is to die for, all dishes bursting with flavour and presented very well indeed. We had the giant chilli prawns to start and followed up with slow cooked shin of beef with creamy mash carrots and beans. After this we had some delightful cheeses with some seeded biscuits, coffee and brandy to end what was a perfect late lunch. The environment was wonderful with the baby grand piano playing in the background. It was value for money I should say.
