Paternoster Chop House

Vegetarians should not be put off by the name – its not just chops! They source their food locally as far as possible, and what we ate had real flavour and was imaginatively prepared, which is as important for a vegetable platter as it is for steak tartare. The waiting staff were helpful and friendly and the bentwood chairs set the chop-house atmosphere. Calling this a quiet corner is somewhat of a misnomer – the place fills up after 6 pm and the hubbub of happy-hour City types would make any music inaudible. We shall definitely go back, and take friends, but be warned this is not for those on a tight budget. There are plenty of restaurant chains on the other side of the Cathedral.
