"When you come across a restaurant by accident because you 're in the area and the menu looks interesting and 'almost too good to be true ' cheap, you just have to give it a go. What a stonkingly good idea it turned out to be. Firstly, the utterly charming setting. Tables on various levels made this bistro charmant a delight to take in. Small, intimate and friendly, I could already sense from the fare coming out that we were in for something very good. Sipping a very reasonably priced Sauvignon Blanc, I was heartened at the small size of the menu choices. I decided to have the thinly sliced duck breast in sweet soy with rocket and my companion the Parson 's pastry, smoked chicken and mushrooms in filo pastry with sour cream. The duck was rich, thinly sliced and perfectly cooked and the sweet soy just lifted it beautifully. The filo was crisp, golden and encased was a moist and tender chicken filling. The star of the show, however, was yet to come. The chicken stuffed with minted, minced lamb on a bed of mash with a red wine jus was gobsmackingly good. It looked fantastic to boot. Unctuous, bursting with flavour, it came with a bucket of shining sauce. Glorious. My companion chose to have another starter instead of a main the asparagus with lemon hollondaise and parmesan. Whilst the asparagus was perfectly al dente, she could barely discern the hollondaise which was a bit of a disappointment. Although I didn 't have room for any dessert, I had to take a picture of the profiteroles which, judging by the number of times they were coming out of the kitchen, were extremely popular. They looked stunning. At this point I have to mention the staff. Polite, charming and very willing to please. A bit of a rarity these days and it always enhances the experience. The whole thing, with four glasses of wine came to £28. If we 'd opted for the two course lunch wihich looked perfectly fine, it would have cost us the princly sum of £7.70 for two courses. Astonisgingly good value for money, it 's hard to come across anywhere in the North West of London that is this good and this competetive on price. Little Bay Big Find. Bravo to them."
