April 2012 - Albert's Table

Posh nosh in Croydon's restaurant quarter


Now, I'd never have imagined to find a place such as this in Croydon. Top quality produce fresh from the fields of Surrey farmers sat on a plate in front of me - and wow, did it taste good!

Albert's table is a place you might often walk past and wonder what's inside or maybe not even notice it. It's presence in the restaurant quarter is understated unlike so many of the other restaurants in the area. Once you're inside its décor is pretty nice. It's certainly ideal for a "trying to impress" first date or business lunch/dinner, or if you've got a large group and just can't decide which restaurant to take them to.

The menu was varied and for those among us who hadn't been so gastronomically adventurous, there were lots of new things to try. 

The staff were very accommodating and attentive which was great and the food was served in good time. 

The turn out too was brilliant! We had a whole half of the restaurant to ourselves and we were all sat at varying sized tables throughout the area. No pub afterwards this time as we ended up finishing quite late. 

All in all, a really nice night.
