So...I know that I hate it when the only vegetarian option is Risotto but when it comes to this place...I'm sorry to say, I don't mind. It's not that the risotto is out of this world - it is very, tasty - it's more that this place is so, so cute, and the staff are so nice. Imagine something you dislike...like white socks worn with sandals. Now, imagine them being worn by Ewoks...see, it's not so laughable now! It's cute!
Suffice to say that I'm a regular to the Swan and Edgar and although I'd love to have the vegetarian option not be risotto the quality of the food (especially, the puddings) is lovely. My last visit was this week and I wanted to save room for pudding so I ordered the beetroot salad, which is a starter, with a side of mash potato and a side of buttered spinach. Pudding was croissant and butter pudding with custard. The desserts that I've had here are worth saving room in your belly for.
The atmosphere is excellent. It's relaxed, so it is a great place for a casual meet up with friends. At the same time, I think it is a fabulous date destination. The books add a genuinely quirky feel without being try hard, the lighting is dim without being too dark and the venue is big enough to hold a decent amount of people without being overcrowded. It manages to give you privacy and make you feel completely cosy at the same time.
This is one of my favourite places in London and, according to a certain Magazine, I'm not the only one to think that.
