Lucie Loves... Food // The low-down on Argentinian restaurant @lola_simon, Hammersmith

JMG and I recently dined at Lola & Simon, in West London. For the past 5 months I’ve been whizzing past the place aboard the number 391 bus on my way home from work. I saw the twinkling fairy lights and candles burning on the tables and thought:

“Ooh! That looks pretty and very romantic!”

So when the time came - or should I say, when JMG came down to see me - we decided to give it a try.

What we ordered:

New Zealand green lipped mussels, cream & white wine sauce with garlic toast (BEAUTIFUL)
Spicy garlicky Argentinean Chorizo
Spiced pan roasted New Zealand rump of lamb, sweet potato puree, chargrilled eggplant and jus
Rib eye Argentine beef, roasted garlic potato mash and chimichurri butter.
Apple, cinnamon and walnut empanada with homemade vanilla icecream.
2 glasses of Tapiz 2009 Malbec red wine (very good wine)

Total cost: A rather pricey (for a non-celebratory weeknight) £82 for 2 people
