Hide Seed - Wandsworth

I was given by zomato after I won the check-in contest on her birthday party, the opportunity to try the hide seed in putney. the place is fantastic as it resembles a studio and its library, with a whole wall covered in books and the comfortable high sessels that embrace them during the meal. the personal is welcoming and attentive and enchants the whole atmosphere. but here ends the dream and the reality beats hard. eating is disappointing, hardly warm, in small portions and the taste I had expected was completely inadequate. I and a friend shared the Auberginen-Tempura, the hidden burger with fries, the chicken mushroom and the Cheddar-Champ; not even the...read more

I often know most of us avoid hotel restaurants because we do not believe that they offer good value for money. but as I have realized in the last few years, after spending a lot of time in hotels, we sometimes get good surprises. hide and seed is part of a boutique hotel in a quiet opposite of putney. my plan for the day was to start with a good lunch and then go for a walk along the river.

At the beginning of this month I was very kindly invited to taste the food at hide and seed from the beautiful people in zomato. if they do not know zomato, they should! it is a malicious website and app that helps them to eat more places and drink in cities all over the world. I use a lot in london. the app is really slick – download now!

I really, really wanted to like Hide and Seed- so many wonderful reviews, Zomato had invited me to give it a go, and I'd seen some pretty pictures but unfortunately our experience was not quite as I had expected. I do agree with one thing- the dining room is lovely. The seats are rather plush, I like the whole library vibe' and the photos on the wall... all very elegant. Our waitress was super enthusiastic and attentive, my cocktail was delicious, all was starting well My starter of smoked salmon salad was a lot more salad than salmon- in fact, I felt like it was playing a game of hide and seek with me as a cruel, cruel trick... under the mountain of leaves, some of which had seen...read more
