Ffiona’s restaurant in Kensington might be the oldest in town to have never been reviewed by a critic. A magistrate-cum-writer from The Spectator used to come in, and once penned a short piece, but his visits were mostly for pleasure. “He would get pie-eyed,” owner Ffiona Reid Owen smiles.
That Ffiona’s has stayed mostly off-radar is odder still when you consider how close it is to Derry Street, home to various national newspapers. Still, the restaurant is not without prestige — it has had a list of haughty regulars and a sturdy celebrity clientele.
