Description:
SMITHFIELD. Set in what was once a smokehouse / townhouse, this intriguing restaurant has met with much praise. Its specialty is curious cuts of meat, especially those that modern diners eschew in favor of sanitized supermarket fare. St John's gives them new prestige, and is often credited with completely rethinking British food thanks to impeccable culinary attention and an original approach. Consider, for example, venison liver and lentils, chitterlings and dandelion greens, mutton and turnips, roast suckling pig, or pigeon and trotter pie. Before you judge, sample the kitchen's skill, and your tastes may just change for good. Other diners' already have. TUBE: Farringdon
