Snows on the Green

A congenial local spot if ever there was one. Sebastian Snow's welcoming restaurant overlooking Brook Green has been keeping the good people, young and old, of Shepherd's Bush well fed and happy for well over a decade. Praised for its quality and originality, the (set) menu changes every Monday, so there really is something for pretty much everyone. The brave can tuck into foie gras with fried egg, while traditionalists can feast on a 10z rib-eye steak with escargot butter, French fries and green salad. Snow works wonderfully with simple ingredients and cuts. Lovely side orders. Compact, nicely constructed wine list. And top class service. The outside tables are a joy in summer.Average price - £25 - £34 (EUR 25 - 45)The Old Ship 25 Upper Mall Hammersmith London W6 9TD For a pre-dinner drink The Old Ship in Hammersmith is great.
