There's a kick to Paddington's weekend nightlife, and this bar-restaurant is a key player. Drinks and service are excellent, while chickens spinning on the rotisserie provide a simple but classy eating choice. The design, all white tiles, distressed brick and black-and-white photos of ancestors brandishing haunches of meat, deliberately recalls a butcher's shop – a little cynically, as it wasn't one.
Upstairs is a cocktail bar where the Paddington glamour crowd like to be seen on weekend evenings, but this place is also a quality lunch spot on the boutique shopping trail.
