Searcys, National Portrait Gallery- Trafalgar Square, London

St Martins Place, WC2H 0HE

Searcys sits on the third and highest floor of the National Portrait Gallery beside bustling Trafalgar Square. Although relatively low in comparison to other top floor restaurants, the window that stretches from one length of the room to the other affords a lovely view of Big Ben, Westmister, the London Eye and the Shard. The room is bright, airy and a full of chatter while retaining an air of sophistication. Spoilt for choice, the mussels followed by the chicken breast, spinach & chesnut stuffing, puy lentils and celeriac puree were the most appealing choices on the set menu. The mussels were some of the best I'd tasted and the flavours in the main dish all complimented each other wonderfully. Dessert was an indulgent chocolate bomb with vanilla ice cream and a brandy snap basket, delicious!
