Bare brick walls, smart, white tablecloths and turquoise chairs greet diners at The Forge Restaurant in the West End of London. A moment's walk from bustling Covent Garden, the Forge offers chic and relaxed dining, away from the crowds. The accent is firmly on modern and European and an evening's dining here might offer dishes such as braised halibut with brown shrimps and samphire, calves liver with shallots and Madeira jus or Catalan paella with rabbit, chicken, Morcilla sausage and snails. Vegetarians are equally cared for with meals including a red pepper tart with goat's cheese, tomatoes and olives. The wine list is carefully selected and a three-course meal here will only cost you around £45 per person.
