THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Axis at One Aldwych Awards

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Axis at One Aldwych Restaurant Review:

One Aldwych has always exuded an air of slightly edgy glamour and manages to flirt with the City as well as the West End. Like the hotel, the fine dining restaurant Axis at One Aldwych attracts both sorts, too, which makes a good mix at lunch and dinner. Even with a slightly changed décor, it remains dramatic and comfortable at the same time. There’s a small dining area with its own bar, above the main (downstairs) restaurant. Chef Dominic Teague arrives via L’Escargot and continues the emphasis on native ingredients. So a salad of spring vegetables comes with foraged herbs and marinated sea trout with heritage tomatoes. Mains may include roast Cotswold chicken with mixed greens and chard, though he pairs bream with couscous, pickled cucumber and fennel. Prices are quite reasonable, with starters from £8 to £14 and mains starting at £16. The wine list includes some fine labels, available in very limited quantities. Set 2-course menu £19.75, 3 courses £23.75. 6-course Tasting Menu £45 per person (whole table only).
