"We had made a reservation at The Wilderness a while back, but unfortunately our plans were disrupted by COVID. Finally, we were able to visit for lunch on Saturday, and it was definitely worth the wait. We chose the ten-course tasting menu along with a couple of glasses of their 'hacked' wines. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted with a complimentary glass of Prosecco and water, and our meal began. The variety of dishes was outstanding; from crispy pig cheek with apricot gel, to steak tartare, turbot, and mackerel. Standout dishes included a delicious beetroot ice-cream with a rich ajoblanco, and a fantastic mushroom and 'bread pudding' that was like a gourmet version of mushrooms on toast. The service was excellent, each course was tasty, and the wines, especially the Chardonnay 2.0 and the Vermouth, were top-notch. While the meal was on the pricier side, the quality of the food, service, ambiance, and music made it all worthwhile."

"Kuula Poké is a great healthy lunch option located opposite Snow Hill station, offering both indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for a midday meal, the prices range between £1 and £10 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere each deserve a solid 4 out of 5. Their salmon poke bowl comes highly recommended, and vegetarian choices are clearly marked on the menu."

"This is my favourite place to grab lunch. It has a wide variety of salads, soups, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and some hot food. The prices are good and the food tastes amazing. The staff are really friendly and very switched on when it comes to allergy information. My diet is quite restrictive, however I have so much choice here. I can't recommend it enough!"

"The best peruvian restaurant in the UK! This is definitely the place to eat anything peruvian. The food here is not only authentic but is presented in an artistic way. Each dish is composed meticulously bringing different ingredients from the three main regions of Peru. Their cocktail menu is extensive and really well done. I could go on and on but this is truly the best peruvian restaurant in the whole UK Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: Has vegan options Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Sea Bass Ceviche, Salmon Tiradito, Hand-Dived Orkney Scallop Tiradito, Duck Breast, Scallops, Crab Causa Recommendation for vegetarians: Highly recommend Vegetarian offerings: Large vegetarian selection"
