Tucked away in leafy Queen’s Park, Lonsdale Road is undoubtedly one of the coolest streets in north west London. Protected under a glass tabletop, the textile piece was commissioned for the restaurant and affectionately pokes fun at the stereotypical Queen’s Park lifestyle with whimsical renderings of Planet Organic, Italian greyhounds and suchlike. Drinks wise, the rhubarb and almond sour cocktail is a pink confection: sweet, tangy and smooth, best savoured sip by sip. Prices are fair and portions are perfectly pitched, so that we were able to enjoy several courses without feeling too stuffed. As well as the main restaurant, Don’t Tell Dad also comprises a bakery, headed up by ex-Layla baker Keren Sternberg.
