Restaurant: North American

The accents are bright red rather than dark green, and there's a little more nostalgia-inducing Americana around the place. However, from the contents of the menu to the layout of the room (stools along a bar, booths and tables raised up to the right), the Diner offers a virtual echo of the Eagle Bar Diner over in Fitzrovia ( <I>see above</I>). The choice of food here is lengthy, but not suspiciously so, taking in a variety of fast-food favourites. The Eagle might have the edge in the burger stakes, but the Diner wins for its all-day breakfasts: moist, mouth-watering pancakes, hearty omelettes and a broad Mexican spread (comprising eggs with chunks of spicy chorizo, gloopy black beans, salsa, fresh guacamole and a couple of flour tortillas). Milkshakes are only as good as their ingredients, and the five scoops of ice-cream that went into our generous pistachio shake were sub-standard. Still, for the most part, this is a likeable little place that does exactly what it says on the tin.
