The meaty Soif is by far the best restaurant in the strip of eateries on this side of Battersea Rise.

But the food is good, which is what the whole thing's meant to be about

Soif's food menu is a brief page, changing daily.

Lunch ended, however, on a high note, which had little to do with novelty

And if flavours are in yer face, prices are anything but

Anywhere in London, Soif would be a great restaurant but given the standards of the area it's little short of miraculous.

Battersea Rise has come a long way since my short-trouser days at No 8

I'd go so far as to say it was one of the best things I've eaten all year
