The restaurant is delightful and intimate. It has a following of loyal locals who know what it is to be greeted and treated like long lost friends. Indeed, many who frequent La Popote do so knowing that they are bound to bump into someone they know and catch up on the Hilton grapevine. Many of the worlds problems are sorted out here over a delicious meal!
Lesley bakes like a dream and the only disappointment I ever have is when she runs out of my favourite French lemon tart and ice-cream. The menu is clever and there is always something to suit every palette.
If you think you can just arrive at the weekend for lunch without booking, don't! When in Hilton, do as the Hiltonians do. Secure a table well in advance and prepare to enjoy yourself over a frostie or a glass of wine while the kitchen set about teasing your taste buds.
