Chef change not withstanding, the recommendations keep flowing in for Guernica. It's cosy but not crowded and you can enjoy a serious conversation about the food, which is worth discussing, or reflect on the sorry state of the world. Inside the warm atmosphere created by wood and soft lighting, the casual bustle of Brunswick Street seems at long remove. As only the French can say, and said by a French woman, D.K., truly "recherché" , lots of care and thought behind it.
