THE PALM BEACH RESTAURANT,

Palm Trees and Palm Chandeliers create a tropical paradise.
Palm Beach
It is a truly luxurious Restaurant with well-spaced tables, comfortable
chairs, immaculate linen and perfect service.
My first introduction was one Sunday when from 12.30 to 4 o‘clock a JAZZ
LUNCH puts sparkle into what can be a dreary day.
The JOE STILGOE JAZZ TRIO lifted the spirits as dif the magnificent Buffet
from which you can choose practically every delicacy imaginable, all of
which are fresh and flavoursome. Beef carved from the Trolley, Lamb Chops
and Fish dishes for the v very hungry, but do leave space for the
mouth-watering desserts.
It was such a wonderful experience that I returned the following evening
when they had a Brazilian Floor Show and an ac companying South American
Menu. Rom a choice of 4 starters I had Watercress, Palm Heart Salad and
Quail Eggs. My main course was Chile Poblano en Nigado – Peppers stuffed
with Chicken, raisins, almonds and papaya. A creamy Passion Fruit Jelly
completed a fantastic evening. The a la Carte offers a selection of
Mediterranean, Oriental, Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine.
PAPAGENO RESTAURANT, (The Show After The Show)
29-31 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London. 020 7836 4444
Set in the heart of Theatre land, this Restaurant is Theatre itself,
flamboyant, friendly and colourful, like its owner, King Richard who is
passionate about Wine, Food and Opera.
If Music be the food of Love, EAT up.
The magical notes of Mozart’s Magic Flute entranced my senses as I sipped
Champagne, nibbled crudities and studied the Menu. Allegro Moderato – I
chose The Big Boss Seafood Selection.
A great evening–a huge Thank you to King Richard and his Courtly Staff.
