There was a great Cambodian place called Lemongrass which I loved. Sadly the owner died last year and they've called it a day.

Bit golf club, but suggestions for a nice not fancy/posh lunch spot in Mayfair/Marylebone near Oxford Circus? Taking a business contact but likely won’t be able to expense costs.

Dinner at The Wolseley last night. The food is simple but delicious and the dining room is just such a lovely place to be. Delightful date night.

friend's birthday is on valentines day, having a gathering up in london fields, broadway market sides. Restaurant suggestions around there that's not too pricey, chill atmosphere, where a couple who don't really celebrate valentines (I say we don't' celebrate valentines, but pretty sure my missus would be upset if we did nothing) can have some nice food.

Pidgin or Sune

Pidgin is great, but perhaps over budget? If heading that way I'd consider the Little Duck on Dalston Lane too...

Pidgin have a reduced menu now which brings the food to under £50 I think. I've enjoyed the two times I've been there anyway.
I would just say Koya around Broadway Market, but I'm very lazy and never left there feeling disappointed

I see levante in lewisham has been reviewed by Jay Rayner today in the observer and he says its worth a visit. Since the demise of oven east in Leytonstone I've been looking for a cheap Turkish place to try for lunch. Will combine this with a visit to Greenwich next week.
Must be the only place he's been to for a while where you can get a deal on Groupon for 12 quid to go and eat there (I expect they'll be pulling their Groupon deal as soon as they're contractually able to as they will get a lot more people visiting after the article today)

Went yesterday to levante - really nice and insane value for money.

Jay is loving Lewisham right now, he did Everest curry last year. So he’s covered the only 2 restaurants in Lewisham now.

Interesting he was shooting for Antonio's which is also great! Levante is an absolute gem though - I'm glad for them.

Would thoroughly recommend Polentina in Bow - really interesting Austrian-Italian fusion going on.
Went here in the summer, another hard recommend. Still dreaming of the pesche al vino bianco.

Talking of Mr Rayner, I have two tickets for his jazz band playing at the pizza express club in Holborn this coming Wednesday but can’t make it , does anyone want them for face value £60 for the pair?

Is there a difference between the Nobus and does anyone know which would be the one to go to if one of you is veggie?
Cheers

I came across a sushi/omakase place online about a year ago, which I'm trying to track down. All I can remember is that it was very small, had older Japanese proprietors, about middle of the road in terms of pricing, and that the menu was a Word document. I don't think they even had a website. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
Edit: It might have been Sushi Tetsu
Asakusa! That place was great. Also heard rumours of a change of ownership but not been in years so no idea if that’s good or bad.
