[[Kake]] started with the open ravioli of spring vegetables <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3684637251/ photo]</small>. The spring vegetables turned out to be peas and broad beans; these were very good, perfectly fresh and cooked just right. The pasta was very thin and silky. It was a fairly rich dish overall, but not overly so, and the portion size was well-judged. [[Ewan]]'s creamed pea and tarragon velout&eacute; was poured at the table, and featured a couple of small 'croustillon' in the middle, a rather nice, creamy but not too rich soup <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3694865037/ photo]</small>.

[[Kake]]'s main was roast lamb breast with pommes purees, crushed peas, and a mint-and-caper consomme <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3684736119/ photo]</small>. The lamb was tender, and full-flavoured without being overly "lamby". The consomme had a lovely tangy flavour that went very well with the lamb, a nice twist on the traditional lamb with mint sauce. [[Ewan]]'s button mushroom risotto was an excellent example of the genre, with rice not too soft <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3694868785/ photo]</small>. The risotto itself was held in a metal pot alongside my plate, and the waitress ladled some onto the plate when serving it.

[[Kat]]'s verdict: I thought the fixed-price lunch menu was excellent value for the quality of the food. The setting isn't as intimate as Pied a Terre, but it's definitely easier on the wallet.
 Accessibility: One step up to get in. Didn't check the toilets.

Accessibility: One step up to get in. The toilets are down a rather precarious spiral staircase (handrails on both sides), and there's not much space in the cubicles once you've made it down there.

French restaurant in Marylebone, sister restaurant to Pied à Terre in Fitzrovia. It received a Michelin star in 2009.

Kake and Ewan visited on a Thursday lunchtime in July 2009. We'd booked, but possibly hadn't needed to as there were tables free throughout our visit. We decided to go for the fixed-price menu du jour (£18 for two courses, with two choices per course).

Bread rolls and butter arrived as we were pondering. Oddly, the bread wasn't very good; it had the kind of tough crust that comes from too many reheatings. Tap water came in a chilled springtop bottle; top marks.

Kake started with the open ravioli of spring vegetables photo. The spring vegetables turned out to be peas and broad beans; these were very good, perfectly fresh and cooked just right. The pasta was very thin and silky. It was a fairly rich dish overall, but not overly so, and the portion size was well-judged.

Kake's main was roast lamb breast with pommes purees, crushed peas, and a mint-and-caper consomme photo. The lamb was tender, and full-flavoured without being overly "lamby". The consomme had a lovely tangy flavour that went very well with the lamb, a nice twist on the traditional lamb with mint sauce.

Service was fine throughout, with wine and water topped up promptly and unobtrusively. Our final bill included an auto-added 12.5% service charge.

Kake's verdict: I'd happily come back.

Accessibility: One step up to get in. Didn't check the toilets.
