Annies in Barnes

Annies in Barnes can be found just around the corner from a lovely part of the Thames, and not far from Barnes Bridge overground station.

The restaurant has a homely, calm feel to it, and the staff make you feel relaxed and comfortable and are attentive to your requests.

When I visited on a fine Wednesday evening, all areas of the restaurant were being enjoyed by a varied mix of people.
Twenty-somethings were enjoying a cheeky bottle of wine on one of the outside tables, with two older women talking over salads sitting next to them. A few tables were obviously on date number 1 or 2.

I started the night with their Signature Blush Royale cocktail. This is champagne with a dash of rose syrup and sprinkling of crystallised rose petals.

The food itself is generous in proportion size, and the menu reflects the homely atmosphere.

My starter was lightly-battered squid spiced with chopped chilies, and a wasabi mayonnaise adding an extra element of bite to it.

The char grilled lamb gigot for mains was generous in size, with the the lemon aioli adding a freshness to the meat. Broad beans and minted peas that the lamb was served with were a fitting addition to the meal.

The passion fruit crème brûlée was perfectly prepared. The caramel top was hard and crunchy, and the custard was perfectly formed. It had a deep vanilla taste, with the passion fruit only lightly applied, therefore giving it a hint of the fruit, rather than a full on punch.
