terre à terre

You'll find this pioneering vegetarian restaurant tucked along East Street, where it's been quietly revolutionising plant-based dining since the early '90s. The intimate dining room feels properly grown-up without being stuffy, with candlelit tables and artwork that changes regularly. The menu reads like poetry – think 'Smoky Aubergine Caviar with Pomegranate Molasses' or 'Wild Mushroom Wellington with Truffle Jus'. Every dish arrives as a small work of art, bursting with flavours that'll make you forget you're eating vegetables. The wine list is stellar, with plenty of natural and biodynamic options. Yes, it's pricey, but this is special occasion territory where the cooking genuinely justifies the cost.
