As the ridiculous smoking ban looms ever closer I have decided to enjoy as many cigar friendly restaurants as possible whilst I can still enjoy a good Havana before,during and after my meal

Today I enjoyed lunch with friends at Cipriani at 25 Davies Street W.1. in the heart of London’s West End…just down the road to Claridges.

I had hear and read quite a lot of good and bad about Ciprianis and approached with a little trepidation but thought best to judge for myself.

Well, the restaurant is certainly very stylish and was extremely busy to say the least.No stars to be seen today but a lot of ” beautiful people”

The service could not be faulted and neither could the food which was most enjoyable.

Excellent ice cold Sancerre was enjoyed with our Ramón specially selected and no one was bothered by our cigar smoking in the least.

Pricing was not over the top for the location and standard so all in all …well done Cipriani 10/10 and …I’ll be back

Best
