Pico Bar & Grill

My family and I ate here to celebrate a birthday. We had a good time. Lots of bread , butter and spreads to accompany your meal. Food took a little time to come out. Pizza has a lot of cheese and not much dough. Maybe avoid the pizza. The best dishes were the Perri chicken, the spaghetti and breaded chicken. I would visit again if in the area

Fabulous restaurant under the railway arches at Vauxhall. You can hear the trains rumbling overhead but you soon forget about them. The staff were friendly, it did feel as though they were rushing you to get on with ordering, particularly between asking about dessert however they did it rush us to pay the bill and leave. Good range of food on the menu I am sure it would suit all tastes and the food was delicious. The dessert menu was like stepping back in time. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Certainly worth a try if you are in the area.

This well-established Madeiran restaurant is reliable, and I always look forward to their grills, professional waiters and real cotton napkins. I chose "medium rare" lamb cutlets, and the kitchen lost its fifth star by bringing lamb so rare that it was inedible for me-- but they quickly gave it extra grill time and my six cutlets were delicious. As a huge plate of veggies always comes included with most dishes, I didn't need a dessert (or starter). And the giant serve of bread with olives as an hors d'oevres, for only about £3, allowed me to take much of it home. You can view their many cold desserts in the fridge at the back of the dining room. They do cater for the many local Portuguese speakers by continuosly playing tele with footie matches in the front bar (if want just a snack) . But the volume is never too loud and annoying. Parking in the streets behind is pretty easy if you come after hours, or it's easy walking from Vauxhall tube station. On some evenings I would give Pico a fifth star, as it's ridiculously good value for what you get!
