Price range: 32 AUD - 44 AUD
Hours:

Cuisines: European
Neighbourhood: Bloomsbury / Holborn
Description: The delightfully-named Fitzroy Dolls is the belle of the dining ball at Hotel Russell, a magnificent terracotta Grade 2 listed building close to Covent Garden. A predominance of marble and natural light lend a fresh, airy feel to this traditional dining experience. Grand pillars lead the eye to the room���s focal point; a grand Victorian marble fireplace. A generous menu features an eclectic selection of dishes. You might start with carpaccio of beef showered in pecorino shavings, then move on to a main course of seared yellow fin tuna with pickled vegetable shavings and tender squid noodles. To finish, may we recommend a baked chocolate brownie with marmalade ice cream. Smartly-dressed staff provide a consistently friendly, chatty service. There is a wide selection of cocktails.

“great... but...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012

One of the most beautiful dining rooms to be found, with solemn-faced cherubs gazing down on you from the tops of their columns as you dine. The dishes are tasty, no-nonsense food (not the type that looks like odd-coloured mush, equally distributed between small cups on a square plate...), cooked to your order (the steaks are exceptional). Great deserts too.... More

“Good food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

Although the standard menu was nothing to write home about, the "specials" - soup of the day and catch of the day - were absolutely excellent.
