Even though it isn't part of the National Theatre, Little Bay leaves the impression that it is closely connected to this important cultural institution: the theatre-like interior in red and gold, with its comfortable boxes named after renowned composers, definitely feels like you're next door or maybe even in the Bolshoi Theatre...

Although relatively short, the menu is full of imaginative suggestions, and there's also a daily menu which turned out to be the best choice at the time of our visit.

After a shot of quince brandy and portion of pastries served with a tasty cheese and vegetable spread, we sampled the broccoli pottage and then continued with more substantial specialties: chicken filled with gorgonzola and pears - a tasty, tender and absolutely refreshing dish. Another good choice is pepper beefsteak served over mashed potatoes, with a scoop of spinach. The sauce is mildly spicy, the meat succulent and well-prepared.

Fans of fish can try the salmon over rice noodles and carrot sticks, with the addition of a delicious red sauce, and if you prefer something more ‘exotic', order the duck in puff pastry with sautéed leeks and vegetable puree, or the weekend special - traditional English lunch - consisting of roasted pork or lamb with vegetables, gravy and Yorkshire pudding.

Little Bay is also known for its live music program every evening of the week, from jazz and bossa nova to opera (the daytime is reserved for evergreen classical music).
