Circolo Popolare is located in Fitzrovia near Tottenham Court Road and Goodge street where there are several very good restaurants. The hotel is owned by Big Mamma restaurants, and it was their second branch opened in London. The interior of the restaurant is unique and very photographic with its high ceilings draped in lights and foilage and walls filled with bottles. I visited the restaurant on a Saturday at the start of January for lunch.
I loved the decor of the restaurant, and the tap water comes in glass fish-shaped bottles.
I ordered three different cocktails. I had the silk road Negroni, which was made very strong with saffron and cinnamon. I also had the Pom-Pom Mojito, which used pomegranate. I also had an alcohol-free cocktail, the Coco Loco, which was served in a breast cup.
I had the truffle pasta, which was delicious. For dessert, I had the Incomparable Lemon Pie. This was a massive slice of lemon pie with toasted whipped meringe. I could not finish all of the mergine and found it too sweet. I would have liked more of the lemon in the ratio.
The food and cocktails were delicious, and i enjoyed my visit.
