Oliver Peyton clearly picked up his ideas about naming businesses from somebody in the hairdressing trade. 'Meal's at Heals' now joins his 'In the Park' as one of the worst-named restaurants in the capital.
And this is a shame, because if you can get past the awful nanme, this is actually a great place for a break in your shopping. A short menu of high-quality Brasserie fare is available if you want a full meal, and they also have an excellent bakery, and all-day breakfasts at the weekend in case you want a lighter bite.
