I once wrote a very negative review of Big Crow, which was unlike me as I (a) love food and therefore rarely find cause to complain; and (b) don't like to put down harsh comments. But my experience at Big Crow was so bad that I didn't think I'd want to step inside another Anthony Rose restaurant. When I read the first highly positive review of Bar Bergonia, I thought to myself, here we go again, this fellow Mr Rose must know how to play the folks in the media. Then I read more good things about Bar Bergonia. Not being a stubborn type, I decided to check out this new resto and ended up really enjoying the food. Since then we've gone back several times more. The menu is small, so it's not hard to try out most of the items after a few visits. It's a very creative, interesting set of dishes, visually attractive and delicate in taste. The service is (purposefully?) funky like at all Anthony Rose restaurants. I can put up with that when the food is this good.
