London’s Oldest Restaurants Like Sweetings Put History on the Menu | Eater London
"An early 90s Mayfair icon which thrived under the stewardship of Sir Terence Conrad, the food at Quaglino’s was never as celebrated as was the perceived glamour associated with being seen there, and the champagne. Now part of the D&D portfolio, who purchased the restaurant from Sir Conrad in 2007, Quaglino’s had an update to its current form in 2014. For food, expect a touch of retro (in the form of a seafood cocktail, say), a healthy focus on “British” classics (thyme roasted chicken, or pan fried cod) and the odd foray into something a little more adventurous. Nevertheless, like many others in this list, it’s about more than the food — the 80s decor and live entertainment makes this a genuinely transporting experience." - Tom Ford
