Art Deco loveliness

Some days go well from start to finish. Saturday November 3rd was one of those. After spending the morning looking at a beautiful flat and finding an area in North London which is neither too pricey nor likely to result in me being stabbed, I go to meet the girls for lunch.

I'm a big fan of both The Wolseley and The Delauney - the perfect brunch venues - so was keen to try the newest member of the gang - Brasserie Zedel.

Set underground in the fabulous 1930's Piccadilly hotel - the space is incredible - wonderful chandeliers, beautiful old pictures. It felt wrong to be wearing my jeans - where was mum's flapper dress when I needed it.

Lower in price than the W and the D, service isn't quite as impeccable, but the space makes up for it. It's very very grand, bustling and relaxing.

I had the prix fixe menu - a massive bargain at around £12 for a cucumber salad ( better than you'd think), steak hache and frites and a coffee with 2 little cakes. Happy.

I think the Delauney remains my favourite, but if I'm short of cash, ill definitely be back.
