Green, The

The Green in Clerkenwell is a refreshingly pleasant restaurant where you can drop by for a tasty lunch with friends in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. Parties and small weddings can be celebrated there with aplomb and the food is undeniably one of their biggest draws. The emphasis is on fresh produce, fish and meat and the modern European and English menu incorporates them into delicious classics and interesting innovations.

Sample for instance the starters of smoked duck and Parma ham with apple chutney for starters with a main course of pan fried chicken breast with roast Mediterranean vegetables and pepper coulis for lunch. In the evenings, the first floor becomes a mellow and intimate space for dinner with dishes such as roast salmon with asparagus, hollandaise and poached egg or fishcakes with spinach and beurre blanc. Delectable desserts at The Green include honey panacotta with caramel bananas or take the cheese route with Cropwell Stilton, water biscuits and quince. An extensive wine list features New and Old World selections by the bottle and glass.
