The Wallace

This Peyton and Byrne restaurant enjoys plenty of light during the day: its courtyard setting is a glass covered atrium within the walls of the Wallace Collection - an art galley in Manchester Square. Large potted trees add to the outdside-brought-inside. 

The modern European menu features dishes such as razor clams with seaweed crackers and parsley purée, roasted cod with pickled turnips, sweet chard and a fish bone jus, and chickpea gnocchi with sprouting broccoli, chillies and comté cheese. Desserts include sheep's yoghurt with roasted plums and pistachio crumble. 

Cream teas and afternoon teas are popular choices - you can add champagne to both, too.  Breakfasts, available from 10am until midday, range from fruit platters and scrambled egg with smoked salmon to cakes, tarts and bloody marys.
