Kosher food in the City

Bevis Marks Restaurant, City of London, Ec3A 5DQ

The only option really in the City when needing to eat kosher food, have been once before and thought overpriced even for the area and unremarkable food. But ended up here again and since I wasn't paying I was little concerned about the price, but knew to try something different than the salt beef I'd had last time. The building the restaurant sits in is attached to the attractive Bevis Marks Synagogue just tucked away from the massive buildings around here like the Gherkin and Lloyds.

Confit of Duck Leg on aubergine risotto with green beans and red wine jus
This was much better than what I ate on my last visit, the duck was tender and the risotto rice was cooked to just retain a little bite like it should, where the aubergine came into it I don't know but I liked the dish on the whole and was good for not too heavy a lunch.

Barkan Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, Israel
An improvement over other Israeli wines I've tried, it was fully bodied and strong. Not a very good depth of flavour but a nice tannin balance and blackcurrent undertones. Not bad at all really.

  1. Unlike in the general population, where many restaurants and fast food businesses specialize in a particular type of food, many kosher establishments have a variety of different types of food popular among Jews.
