Sola offers high end Californian cuisine in the heart of Soho. It uses unusually high-quality luxury ingredients, something increasingly rare in London these days as restaurants strive to cut corners. I particularly enjoyed the hare royale (pictured) at this latest meal, but there were plenty of lovely dishes.

I also had another meal at Black Salt, introducing an old friend to the place. As we rotated through the classic dishes here that I have written about several times there seems no point in writing a review, which would just duplicate several recent ones. However the standard was as high as ever, with the chicken chop, vegetable bhajias, pork vindaloo and methi chicken being particular highlights.
