A welcome addition to the Ma Cuisine group of restaurants is The Grill Room in Twickenham, a modern British steakhouse that produces some very commendable steaks and grilled seafood. The décor is pleasant, and although slightly grandiose, what with all the wood panelling and floors, it still exudes a cosy and relaxed ambience.

Their biggest draw is the T-bone steak, Aberdeen Angus beef that is matured on the premises for at least 32 days, hand cut, grilled and served with chunky chips and homemade sauces. However, don't hesitate to order the starters of smoked haddock fish cake with tartare sauce before moving on to the whole baked sea bass with lemon and fennel or the grilled lobster and chips with homemade tomato relish. The rhubarb crumble with vanilla ice cream ends the meal on a tart and sweet note, and the wines from a well travelled list complement your meal expertly.
