Profile

This venue is closed.

You don’t need to be an Anglophile to love this cozy West Village café, with its rustic woodtables and plenty of room between them, but it helps. The kitchen lays claim to “cross-channel cooking,” a sort of Pan-European fusion, but what it really does is celebrate the best of—don’t laugh—British food. Rib-sticking fare like Guinness-braised beef brisket, a lavishly rich, potato-and-cheese-crustedcottage pie, and superior fish and chips go down easy with a pint of beer ferried in from the myriad taps of the adjacent Irish pub.

Dining here made me nostalgic for the great Brit pub food fare I used to eat when I worked in the UK for awhile. Really warm, cozy atmosphere that matches with its sumptuous cottage pie and chicken forestiere. Although the food...Read More
