La Trompette

The Chiswick outpost of the respected group of restaurants, which includes Chez Bruce in Wandsworth and The Glasshouse in Kew, has an immaculately trimmed hedge surrounding a few outside tables and a large awning providing protection from the sun's rays or light showers. Sliding glass doors open up the space when the weather allows. Inside, the restaurant matches the others in the group for understated, unpretentious style, with oak floors, leather banquette seating, muted tones of brown, and white linen-clad tables. Service is confident and knowledgeable and the atmosphere positively buzzes with conviviality. The accomplished cooking has its roots in France, and the South West of the country specifically, although there are broader influences at work. Foie gras and chicken liver parfait with toasted brioche is a classic starter, followed perhaps by breast of poulet noir with gratin daupinhoise, salsify and roasting juices, finishing off with an Italian interloper such as vanilla pannacotta with poached rhubarb and biscotti.
