Amongst the plants, furniture and antique gardening implements you come across this pretty café where chef and food writer Skye Gyngell cooks and runs the establishment. The setting is idyllic, suitable for the simple food served at lunch. It's all fresh, organic and seasonal, so dishes run out as ingredients are used up. Try the likes of scallops with beurre blanc, poached celery and chives or pan-fried pak choi with cashew nuts and sweet chilli sauce. Mains follow the same honest path: perhaps grilled lamb with pepperonata, spinach and salsa verde, or wild sea bass with artichokes, tomatoes, black olives and preserved lemon. Afternoon tea is equally impressive. It’s a pretty sophisticated rus in urbe setting.
