Restaurant Review: New Summer Menu at Pizza Express (The ...

It is a busy branch located close to Trafalgar Square so full of tourists as well as “yocals” but a fast turnaround with GLUTEN FREE options.

This includes their new Risotto Fresco, described on the menu as “Oak-roasted peppered salmon fillet, garlic and parsley in a creamy white wine risotto.

I would say the real food compares well with the “picture” which features on their Spring Collection marketing all around the restaurant and on the tables.

It is good to visit Pizza Express and not have a pizza (even if it is GLUTEN FREE: April 2014 Pizza Express Review and November 2013 Review) they now offer a risotto option that’s GLUTEN FREE.

I hope other “flavours” and more risotto dishes make it to their Summer Collection menu?!

Reys, restaurant review: This posh chicken shop is the long-awaited ...

So why have I made the trip to Cambridge for lunch in this particular posh chicken shop?

Behind the open kitchen, ranks of chickens rotate soundlessly and smell-lessly on spits.

Unlike Soho House's Chicken Shop group, which offers just rotisserie chicken and a handful of sides (at slightly lower prices), Reys' menu is a smash-and-grab of deep-fried wings, nasty open sandwiches, pulled-chicken buns and some Asian-inflected sides.

Deep-fried wings – disagreeable mouthfuls of fat, bone and batter –rapidly surrender their crispness to this one-note salsa; it masks any other flavour in a pulled chicken bun, and is slathered over – the horror – deep-fried battered sprouts, a dish which prompts my friend to hiss "who ordered the testicles?"

If they'd stuck to doing rotisserie chicken brilliantly, with a few solid sides, I could see it succeeding as a modern, slightly more upmarket rival to Nando's.
