London's best review, food and drink news
In an effort to rein in the hyperbole, we will say that we can think of one downside to an evening spent dining at Café Grove – a meal there does serve to encourage gluttony of the highest order. A steaming bowl of borscht made for the perfect starter. We followed that with pierogi that were little parcels of discovery – some filled with potato, some sauerkraut, some meat or cheese – and each of the discoveries was a happy one. Ordering from an ample specials board provided the greatest treat of all: golonka (stewed pork knuckle) was exceptionally tender and tasty, served with an enormous pile of chips and veggies, all for less than £7. Our advice: come with an empty stomach, then try to fill it.
