Fodor's Expert Review The Mews

Once the private home of actress Minnie Driver's dad, the front room is now an inviting bar; an interior courtyard is an intimate open-air dining area; and the second floor is a maze of small dining rooms and balconies. But it's the food—classic, bistro, or tapas—that draws the visitors. Main dishes vary from sweet potato gnocchi or steak frites to curried rabbit and pork belly risotto; braised lamb shank presented on a bed of buttery cabbage, green Thai shrimp curry, and catch-of-the-day are menu classics. Some call the atmosphere avant-garde; others call it quaint.
