Qype: glo Restaurant & Bar in London

London - Eating & Drinking - Restaurants


This is a generous 4 stars because I'm quite fond of the place though if I were to score on food alone (a rather big component on eating out I'm sure you'll agree) I don't think they'd cut it. Where they do cut it is fresh and comfortable decor, attentive staff, presentation and great deals - 2 courses for £8, and 2-4-1 cocktails 5-7pm each day (and pretty damn good cocktails actually).

We shunned the special and went straight for the platter of the house (£16 each) - which turned out to be a whole lot of deep fried somethings (unfortunately). As the most expensive item on the menu, I expected a tastier offering.

With a really weird fusion of asian and Italian dishes I think they do the Italian side a lot more justice - the caprese starter winning over the prawn dumpling dim sum hands down. I think they may try to cater for too many taste buds and should perhaps concentrate on doing a few really well.

I will be back during happy hour and quite intrigued to test their duck hoi sin pizza!
