This elegant European beauty, sitting upon Bow Street, was a delightful treat after meandering the streets of Covent Garden for it since my friend recommended we try this place she remembered a year ago. Not only did the warmth of Wildwood Restaurant greet me as we entered from the cold, rainy weather, but also the pleasant, beautiful décor and friendly hospitality of its waitresses.
After being seated at a comfortable table, candlelit and a bottle of olive oil setting the scene of a rustic and homely European meal at an extravagant grandma, we selected a glass of Merlot to warm ourselves up. The place had a brilliant buzz with everyone enjoying themselves. Fighting between the Seaford Risotto and the Smoked Haddock Risotto I decided the latter Risotto, that blended smoked haddock, cheddar cheese, peas, a poached egg and spinach which sounded creamy and rich; it most certainly was. The texture was cooked to utter excellence, velvety and flavoursome with the smoky haddock. And to top it all off the definition of perfection resided in the poached egg with a yoke that oozed as soon as I drove my fork into it, adding to the smoothness of the dish.
After being checked upon by the waitresses who made sure we were comfortable and enjoying our meal we moved onto dessert and the White Chocolate Cheesecake jumped out to me and seeing as I am a huge chocolate lover of course I knew this dessert was for me, and I have never experience anything like this delightful dessert. I can still taste the smoothness of the white chocolate upon the crunch of the dark chocolate biscuit base. So simple, but packed with so much guilty goodness.
Wildwood will definitely see me again after the wonderful time I spent there; especially with a 20% off your next meal when you dine at Wildwood at lunch. With my meal (including the coffee we ordered to end) came to £24, which I thought a brilliant price for a most splendid meal. With loads of restaurants around London, Essex, as well as one in Kent and Leicester I hope there is one close to you for a lovely evening out.
