The words of one of my favourite food critics, Jay Rayner, about one of my favourite fish restaurants.

Parsons - which is tucked away in Covent Garden, London.

I've written about this wondrous place before:

Now it's time to introduce it to one of my oldest & best friends..

From start to finish we were so well looked after & enjoyed the most brilliant food.

Drinks to begin & I invited my companion to try a Black Velvet - Guinness & Champagne - he was intrigued.

Parsons is still one of my cherished spots to go to for lunch or supper. 

The food, the service, the setting - all impeccable.

My friend can't wait for a return visit. Nor can I.
