101 Restaurant's beautiful villa-style facade is full of promise. Its handsome frontage, complete with shady awning, instantly paints a picture of convivial dining and of happy customers relaxing over platters of gorgeously healthy food. And that is just what you get when you step through 101 Restaurant's doors - a relaxed air of Mediterranean authenticity.
Our evening here began exceptionally well - our opening glass of Prosecco was so delightfully rich and bubbly that we ordered the bottle to accompany the shared antipasti, which featured freshly sliced cured ham and sausage, gooey mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, olives and freshly baked crisp bread. For mains, I devoured succulent veal Marsala in a creamy mushroom sauce with perfectly al dente green beans, while my companion relished the tender duck breast with fluffy mashed potato. We then savoured first-class tiramisu and delectable cheesecake followed by perfectly executed coffees. Every day from noon until 6pm there's also a set menu available offering two courses for £9.90 or three for £12.90.
Throughout our visit, the service was impeccable. We were waited on courteously, and there was never a dull moment; our particular waiter was very friendly and had an eye for detail. As well as the main restaurant, there's an upstairs function room and bar catering for up to 40 guests - next time I'm planning a celebration, I'll certainly make 101 Restaurant my first port of call
