Eating in London: Giaconda Dining Room

The Giaconda Dining Room: a reasonably priced restaurant in one of the most expensive cities in the world that serves simple, delicious food with a focus on high quality ingredients. Unless you were in the market for a guitar (the area surrounding the resto is filled with guitar shops), it's the kind of unassuming place that you would walk by without noticing.

I almost had a mental breakdown at dinner trying to decide what to order. And this despite the fact that I had been studying the menu online for over a week. To start with, I had the deceptively simple beet and goat cheese mousse salad. For the main course, V and I ordered the rack of lamb for two served with an amazing veggie tian and gnocchi that was surprisingly light, fluffy and accented with just enough nutmeg to give it some kick. Everybody got the clean plate award and sadly, no room was saved for dessert.
