Amazing food. Server was awesome and genuine. Great cause behind the restaurant as well!

Toronto-Paddington 9am-9pm. With a room at the Paddington Hilton we ventured out for a bite to eat. A perfect late evening dinner was had at The Frontline Club. Crispy duck salad with chili and lime was perfection, baked aubergine with Cote de Rhône, courgette fries in the side. You can't do this route better! History on the wall and deliciousness on the plate.

Apparently very well known for fish & chips in the area around Paddington Station. And deservedly so, they were excellent. Service (at least the night we were there) was a bit lacking. Our waitress wasn't very helpful, not friendly and we had to flag her down when we needed something because she didn't seem to care about checking on us. But the fish was great and I'd recommend Frontline without hesitation. Could have been a four star review, but for the service

We really enjoyed our lunch here.  My wife had the mushroom risotto which she just loved. I had the Hereford rib steak which was perfectly cooked. Service was good, but not 100% perfect. Not a big deal, still a 5 star experience. Great cup of coffee here too.

I recently dined here last week and I am a fan! It's a romantic and classic restaurant. It has booth seating along the walls. Their decor is very classic with historic portraits lining their walls. The lighting is dimmed. The size of the restaurant is enough to seat about 30 to 40 patrons. 

I came with a huge group and we got to choose from a special menu. Three course meal for £25. They served us bread with butter before we ordered.

I ordered:
Appetizer: Minted Pea Soup & Ham Hock Croquettes 
Main Course: Roast Chicken with Garlic Mash & Chanterelles
Dessert: Raspberry & White Chocolate Pudding with White Chocolate Ice Cream
Drink: Appletini

The soup came out very hot and I had to wait for it to cool a bit before eating. It was served in a very antique-like container. The soup was served with three ham hock croquettes . In an American's mind, these look like miniature croissants with ham inside or pigs in a blanket. The main course was my favorite part of the meal! The chicken was so succulent and it made it easy for me to cut into bit sized pieces. The brown and light sauce that was served with it accompanied it very well. The garlic mash was amazing. The only part of this dish that I did not eat was the chanterelles because I have never seen anything like it. I believe it is a type of vegetable. The dessert was okay. I was more excited about the ice cream than the pudding. I'm not a big fan of raspberry. I was expecting pudding, but it was actually more like a muffin stuffed with raspberries. This "muffin" was drizzled with white chocolate sauce served with vanilla ice cream. My appletini was superb. I loved it and wanted to order more. The Appletini was not part of the three course meal deal, but it just cost £7.50. 

Overall, if I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely visit it again. Definitely the best meal I've had in London.

Frontline is a great place for the best of independant journalism. They hold talks & screenings. The audience can participate in discussions and debates too.
There is also a really nice restaurant there serving British type cuisine.
The great thing is that you don't need to be a journalist or even be in the industry - it's open to the public - who are interested in such topics.
Prices are reasonable too (around £10 for a screening).
Worth checking out if this is your thing!

Headline: a bit of British Foodie Heaven

Location: less than a half mile from Paddington station, so sorry if I seem a little raving on this place.  It's good - really good.  The walls are adorned with photographs that are iconic - the tiananmen square photo showing a guy standing in front of tanks; st Paul's cathedral during the London bombings; and others.  It's a history of journalistic photography.  White table cloths and a nice quiet interior give this place class.

The food was great as well.  The chef sources from their own farm daily! And the stuff you can't get on a farm tastes equally fresh.  I'm starved of seafood, so I opted for the special grilled skate with mashed potatoes, which was well prepared (although I did not like the excess of bones).  The mashed potatoes were silky and buttery.  

For dessert, try the warm pistachio pudding with dark chocolate sauce and ice cream - simply divine.

If you happen to be staying in this part of town, make a point of going here.

Went here on a busy Friday night.  Tucked away from the Main Street very close to paddington this is a very nice yet affordable place for great food.  Started with the chicken on potatoes.  Not expecting much but the flavors exploded in my mouth.  By far the best chicken I have had.  The dessert of bread pudding was flavorful as well. Will have to come back soon.

If you're interested in the cutting edge of journalism, the Frontline Club is a good place to add to your diary. It was set up by reporters and cameramen in memory of journalists who died in action. You don't have to have seen the world's conflict zones to get on the mailing list of media-focused talks and debates, however. Most events cost £10 (but are free to members) but there tend to be free film screenings on Sunday afternoons.


 There's a great bar - lots of wood - with interesting memorabilia along the walls. The restaurant downstairs offers a discount to members.


 This is a cool place, handily close to Paddington Station.

Very reasonably priced regular menu, with some of the best food I've had in London. 

The early bird dining specials are extremely cheap for the quality and quantity of food, but be aware that you need to vacate your table by seven. I found that a bit unusual, as generally as long as you're seated before seven you're included in the early bird specials. 

The wine selection is decent, and prices are also average. The service is good.

The flavors are tasty, health and farm-fresh, and the desserts are really good. Excellent quality meats, that are apparently all small farm raised. 

This is one of the few places I loom forward to trying again on my next London trip.
