Dine with Sherlock Holmes
The Park Plaza Sherlock Holmes Hotel on Baker Street is offering a two course lunchtime menu for £12.50 (plus service) – quite a nice deal.
Sherlock’s Bar & Grill has won the AA Red Rosette three times, and uses organic British ingredients in its cooking. However, this isn’t the stodgy ‘British food’ many of us dread in great hotels – it’s fusion-style with strong Mediterranean and French flavours coming through. A mezquite wood oven and charcoal grill are used, and the woody flavours permeate the cuisine – though you’ll find other dishes on the menu as well if you go a la carte.
If you’re visiting Madame Tussauds, or shopping on Oxford Street, this is a pretty useful place to know – real food, at a very reasonable price.
But warning; you won’t actually catch Sherlock here – this is a modern restaurant and hotel, not a Victorian themed one. If you really want the great detective himself, you’ll have to head up the road to the Sherlock Holmes Museum at number 221b (so they say – the Post Office still claims it’s number 239), Baker Street.
