It is hard to believe that this opulent, high-ceilinged café-restaurant on Piccadilly
used to be a car showroom, but this is how it obtained its celebrated name. With its
huge arched windows, grand ceiling lights and black-and-gold chinoiserie panels,
this is the perfect English brasserie. The service is impeccable, and the dishes on
the reasonably priced à la carte or all-day menus are inspired by the grand cafés
of Europe. Their avocado and lamb's lettuce salad is an excellent starter, followed
by seafood soup with mussels or chicken soup with dumplings. It is advisable to re-
serve a table in advance, especially for a Sunday morning breakfast of kedgeree or
grilled kipper with mustard butter.
