Hix Oyster and Chop House, Smithfield, EC1
A well-regarded restaurant in this busy area, and it is indeed very fine indeed. They have a bit of spare seating at the bar for those who haven't booked.. Good for the meat-eaters. (Photo of menu starters and mains, and puddings, Feb 2010.) (Photos of wild rabbit, duck's egg, beef & oyster pie, roast partridge, ice cream and Welsh rabbit.)
Address: 36-37 Greenhill Rents, Cowcross Street.
