The Giaconda Dining Room

The Giaconda Dining Room Review

A bite-sized gastro-landmark with an indie spirit on Denmark Street's Tin Pan Alley (think Bowie, Marley, and The Clash), this super friendly Australian-run dining room may only seat 35, but the eclectic menu is genius and inspired. Chef Paul Merrony sends out mighty starters—creamed shallots with horseradish, crispy pig's trotters, or chicken livers with juniper mousse—and a full range of luscious main entrées at extremely low prices. Try the ox tongue, rack of lamb with gnocchi, crab spaghetti, or heartier dishes like veal kidneys, black pudding with potatoes, or ham-hock hash with a fried egg on top. Puddings, like peach melba or Eton Mess, are a snip at £6 a pop.
