PERFECT TABLES
6. Minetta Tavern
The Black Label burger at Minetta
Tavern, comprising brisket, chuck, short
rib and skirt steak, is undisputedly New
York’s finest. Heavyweight restaurateur
Keith McNally (Odeon, Balthazar,
Pastis...) added this Greenwich Village
institution to his belt five years ago,
but the original interior of red velvet
drapes and booths is still standing, just
like the boxing champs in their pomp
decorating the walls.
113 MacDougal Street, New York, USA.

7. The Eagle
Long before anyone had even heard
of the term “gastro pub,” The Eagle in
Clerkenwell, east London, started serving
food that was as good as any restaurant.
Suddenly the idea of going to the pub for
dinner wasn’t a joke. Today, more than
20 years after opening its doors, the chefs
are still preparing grilled sardines, orecchiette,
Greek-style lamb, tapas, squid
and chorizo at the small cooking station
behind the bar. The plates and cutlery
don’t match and the room is a jumble
of old chairs and tables, but one thing is
always faultless – the food.
159 Farringdon Road, London, England.
GO TO LONDON SAS takes you to London.
Round-trips to London start at 30,000 EuroBonus
