For our last supper in London, we went to the famed Ffionas. If you haven’t been, then what on EARTH are you doing? You must go! The restaurant owner, Fiona, is has the most engaging personality. Imagine giving your order to the owner, while she is seated at your table. You rather feel like a guest in her dining room that a patron in a restaurant. Because my brother has eaten there so many times and because the first Sunday we were there, we walked by Ffiona’s and she waved welcomingly at Greg as we passed – I knew we needed to eat there our last night here. Perhaps our most expensive meal of our entire trip (but that is what stock is for), it was entirely enjoyable.
I started with the gazpacho and Tom with with onion tart. Delicious. Tom lamb and I was sold on Ffiona’s fab fishcakes – both flawless. Kyle special ordered some chicken, Bryce was coerced (by me) to order the pork loin, and Connor had no trouble ordering the prawns. It was a fantastic meal. We had planned to pick up some dessert at a bakery but Fiona described the desserts and we (ok, I) could not resist. I remember Greg telling me that I needed to try the sticky toffee pudding (and he was right). Connor got the chocolate mousse, Tom got the bread pudding, and Kyle&Bryce each had ice cream with toffee sauce.
Food aside, it was amazing sitting around chatting with Fiona. At times she was at our table – we talked about her upcoming trip to San Francisco and her favorite places in London. It was a lot of fun and we asked for a photo. We took two (posted here).
