Lino - Central Dr, Hornchurch

Had a lovely dinner here. The food was fresh, delicious and presented beautifully. We had the smoked beetroot with hazelnuts (our favourite), sauerkraut croquettes, grilled courgette and asparagus main and triple cooked chips all vegetarian. The waiter was very attentive and friendly, cannot fault the service. Loved the decor and atmosphere inside, perfect for a low key dinner. Food was reasonably priced given the location, venue and quality.

After closing for more than a year (if i am correct) we were excited to try this restaurant. However, the food was actually quite disappointing despite how good they look. Bread was stale, lamb heart was cold and chewy, confit pork was under seasoned and fish was really bad with chewy chicken skin instead of crispy. The only dish that was acceptable was the mackerel tartar. Also disappointed with some items in the menu were not available as they haven't got a fryer. Feel sorry the waiter. He was the only waiter servicing roughly more than 20 tables. It gave me the impression that the management has not fully prepared for the reopening.

Lovely, stylish restaurant in a quaint corner of Farringdon Barbican. Food was solid, though a bit under seasoned for my taste. Would recommend if you're in the neighborhood but not worth a special visit.

What can I say .. such high hopes .. I didn’t hate .. I didn’t love it . It was ok .. we went for lunch, the food was done well but isn’t exceptional . There are better places in London for a better value ..

Beautiful space. Great food. I had brunch and although the menu is limited the quality of the food is really high and reasonably priced.
