Coq d’argent<\/a> is a rather fabulous venue on the roof of Number 1 The Poultry, right in the middle of the Square Mile. Visiting a City restaurant with a roof top garden\u00a0on a Sunday in\u00a0January may not\u00a0be the\u00a0best timing, but we got a real feel for just how good a location this actually is. In the Winter, when the garden is not in use, \u00a0you can appreciate\u00a0just how well designed this place is and\u00a0take in the views without being disturbed by\u00a0the usual cityboy revellers. We had booked a Top Table<\/a> deal of 3 courses for \u00a319 (the normal 3 course lunch price is \u00a330), and that is where it gets interesting.\u00a0 Most places cut corners on deals. They do not always seem to appreciate that these deals are an ideal way to showcase\u00a0the restaurant.\u00a0\u00a0Coq d’argent got it 100% right. At no point did we feel like second class citizens or cheapskates. The set menu had sufficient choices and included top end items like escargot and venison. This actually encouraged us to upgrade our wine\u00a0choices to something from their selection of fine wines.<\/p>\n
