The Forge Restaurant & Bar
14 Garrick Street, London, WC2E 9BJ
Built on the site of an old church, part of its Gothic style remains have been incorporated, with plenty of exposed brickwork to be seen - if you like eating à la Gothic this is your place. It is certainly elegant, and so what if the odd ghostly choir serenades your meal? Start with vol-au-vent of devilled lambs' kidneys, or anchovy, caramelised onion and black olive galette, followed by paillard of chicken with cèpes and parmesan cream or rump of mutton with roasted parsnips and redcurrant jus. A spiced apple tatin with vanilla bean ice cream makes an interesting and flavourful finish, though many will fall for the caramelised lemon tart with raspberry parfait. The Forge possesses a wine bar with around 500 wines and 40 sold by the glass and 25 available in large formats, a pleasant place to start an evening, with decent food to hand if needed.Built on the site of an old church, part of its Gothic style remains have been incorporated, with plenty of exposed brickwork to be seen - if you like eating à la Gothic this is your place.

REVIEWS OF The Forge Restaurant & Bar
Mrgone (15 June 2009)
My partner and I ate there on Saturday and were very impressed with the service. The French waiters being friendly and just that little aloof! They had every reason to be however as the food is gorgeous, highly recommend both the devilled kidneys and the truffled duck egg, both cooked to perfection. As a main we both had the rabbit lasagne, this was both very tasty and extremely filling, the side dish of chips ordered were really not needed but eaten anyway due to them being real chips! I have eaten in a couple of Michelin star restaurants and this meal can happily sit aside them with pride, as the food was as good however the price was well under. Highly recommended!
