Electric Brasserie, The

Part of the Electric Cinema complex, this is a relative newcomer to the London scene where the mission statement could be summed up in two words, self-indulgence, though possibly the cuisine is described a bit narrowly as French - more accurately it is Brasserie style with English and American influence. Everything that you could wish for in the way of spoiling yourself and your guests has been thought of, and when, out of sheer perversity, you manage to dream up something that hasn't, hey presto! there it is.

Truly a haven for the sybarites of this world. A meal at The Electric Brasserie is a journey into an agreeable place where each stage smoothly slots into the next. Not that it is solemn or pompous for even the briefest second - friendly greetings from the galley are normal. The food fits into this pattern perfectly with imagination well to the fore. The wine list could be more adventurous. This is a spot for the times located in precisely the right part of London and to round it all off the value for money is decent.
