    This was my 2nd visit to Faros & i enjoyed it just as much. I had the Bruscetta to start followed by the Ragu for my mains. The bruscetta was lovely & the beef in the Ragu was so tender & the taste was even better than the 1st time. It's easier to get off at Chancery Lane & then it's a 7 minute walk. It's a lovely restaurant & very popular so it's best to book a table, especially if you are visiting the theatre.
