Smoked Applewood Cheeseburger with tomato, chorizo & chilli relish and chips
The Electric Brasserie, home of the West London "cool" crowd and located right next to the brilliant Electric cinema - together they make the perfect way to impress a date without appearing to try too hard (eg by bringing her to some really posh restaurant).
The Crisp Pork Belly is extremely satisfying, as are the burgers, and the Barbary Duck Salad is one of the best salads I've had in London. This is upgraded comfort food in casual but hip surroundings and with lots of beautiful people to look at (i said beautiful, not famous, though you might just run into the notting hill set of jude law and co), yet without any snobbery. Cocktails are great too, and dinner usually comes to around £45 pp with drinks and service - pretty good value!
Great for catching up with friends on a weeknight or weekend and then popping into the cinema!
