Part of the Electric Cinema complex, The Electric Brasserie's mission statement could be summed up in one word, self-indulgence, and the cuisine is described more accurately as brasserie style with English and American influences. 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. The food fits into this pattern perfectly with imagination well to the fore, so how about a fennel and wild garlic soup, hot buttered prawns, sirloin steak sandwich or ½ dozen wild Colchester oysters from the all day menu. 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 good.
