Our Inspector's view
You may know Monica Galetti best from her appearances as a judge on BBC MasterChef: The Professionals, but she’s also a former Michel Roux Jr/legendary Le Gavroche protégé and Mere (pronounced ‘Mary’) is her and sommelier husband David’s first restaurant. It’s classily understated, sophisticated and fashionable with a smart bar at ground level, while downstairs the dining room features contemporary Samoan pieces and is unexpectedly light, thanks to its double-height glass frontage. The cooking is classic French given contemporary spin and some South Pacific touches, backed by consummate skill, panache and standout flavours. Take pan-fried turbot T-bone with shellfish ragout, leek, fennel and potato, and a chowder sauce, and to follow, pistachio and raspberry tart.

About the area
Discover London
The UK's capital was founded by the Romans shortly after they invaded in 43AD. Since then it’s evolved into one of the greatest cities on earth. From a bloody, squalid history to the vanguard of fashion in the Swinging 1960s to the buzzing metropolis it is today, London has something for everyone. There are very British pursuits like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and an impressive collection of traditional English pubs. And that’s not to mention world-renowned arts venues, galleries and museums, award-winning theatre and unrivalled shopping – all found within a few Tube stops of each other.
London’s royal history is not to be missed. Visitors can roam around one of Britain’s finest medieval castles and royal prison, and learn about the final days of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London or, for the less bloodthirsty, visit the Queen’s London home, Buckingham Palace. Don’t miss out on exploring the capital’s Royal Parks – from St James’ Park and Hyde Park in the centre to the majestic Hampton Court and wilderness of Richmond Park in the southwest.
