The Spotted Pig, 314 W. 11th Street, New York

Being a gastro-pub, The Spotted Pig strives to serve simple yet upscale food. This upscale food though is perhaps some of the best in New York.

Whoever adds Roquefort to a burger and serves shoestring chips alongside is gonna make the headlines - especially if it's actually a good one - and in my opinion it's a fantastic dish.

The Spotted Pig is an oddity of a restaurant featuring a deliberately distressed look: three small floors, totally vertical. It’s dark, cramped, and has stools instead of chairs which, allows for a little more flexibility when customers have to fill the gaps during busy times. The vibe that gives out the impression of being a warm, comfortable establishment works and is backed up with the British comfort food and well thought of wine list.



I had one of my most memorable meals here when I visited New York and after some research have just found out that April Bloomfield, the Chef, has created a new restaurant called The John Dory!



Bread - Went extremely well with the beer - hearty!
Staff - All you needed was at hand at this gastropub.
Overall - You have to visit it if your in NY.
