The Rex Whistler Restaurant is a gem that can easily be combined with a visit to admire the art at Tate Britain. Indeed you can admire the art from inside the restaurant as Whistler painted the walls. It was my seventh visit as the food and the wine list in particular have been consistently excellent. We had booked in advance for a party of four between Christmas and New Year; just as well as the restaurant was full. That was the problem this time as service did not seem to be as prompt as on previous visits.
The parsnip soup (£5.80) was given full marks by all of us. The pheasant stew (£15.55) was also well appreciated. Il Molino di Grace Chianti Classico 2003 (£29) complemented the stew well but we had to ask for it to be decanted.
