    I had set menu....potato cakes (chick pea and spinach), Sea Bass in a fragrant coconut milk sauce with Naan, Black Dal, Potatoes, Rice. Cathy had a salad on asparagus and paneer with rocket in a dressing, then a spicy indian style bouillabaise with scallops, monkfish, tiger prawns and bass. Kulfi and a carrot cake for pudding, although we struggled with the texture of the carrot cake.

    Expensive? Probably about the cost of a couple of good seats at a Chelsea Match. If we had stuck to set menu which included a glass of wine, coffee and three courses all with trimmings then no....but we drifted a bit and had a bottle of water(£5!!!!) wine and a few extras.

    Looking at reviews, Michelin star restaurants often get a pasting for service and attitude, but it was superb at Benares. When Cathy got up to go to the loo, someone immediately followed to show her the way.
