Café Emm
This small, ever-popular, family-run restaurant serves traditional British dishes (steak and ale pie and the like) as well as more modern concoctions (melon and ginger soup). Though certainly atmospheric, with its pseudo-Parisian façade and unobtrusive, sophisticated interior, our meals were mediocre at best. After arriving disquietingly fast, blackened Cajun salmon lacked flavour and finesse; vegetarian lasagne was fine, served with a simple salad, but hardly lit up our world. Maybe we should have gone for one of the interesting burgers (minted lamb, lentil and bean). Still, Emm thrives, its fair prices attracting a large crowd come the evening – the queue sometimes snakes out the door. Source: Time Out Cheap Eats in London Guide 2007
