Lutyens Description:
Lutyens is named after the Edwardian British architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, who designed what was the Reuters building in Fleet Street as well as the Cenotaph in Whitehall, domestic houses and grand public buildings all over the world. Now the indefatigable Sir Terence Conran has taken over the whole building to create a restaurant, bar, and private dining. You get to the restaurant via a bar which buzzes from breakfast with pastries to late drinking with charcuterie. The restaurant itself is faintly industrial in feel and with all the impeccable hallmarks of a Conran restaurant: open kitchen, impressively designed tableware, attentive, knowledgeable staff and good reliable cooking. The menu is for classic French brasserie lovers: oysters, artichoke vinaigrette, snails, foie gras, fish from buttered lobster to monkfish, main meat courses from entrecôte to veal Cordon Bleu and beautifully cooked herbed lamb chops. The wine list impresses with good vintages and non-greedy mark-ups. The only quibble is the atmosphere, which presently doesn't buzz as it should.
