The restaurant occupies the second-floor mezzanine of a lofty three-story hall with clerestory windows and a vaulted ceiling in the English Market building. Every market should have a restaurant as winning, with farmers and marketers sharing communal tables, drinking half-bottles of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, and tucking into hearty regional dishes from a short menu. Try the lamb livers with wide, beautifully pink slabs of bacon, and a creamy, buttery soup with tripe and drisheen - a black pudding with a smooth, barnyardy flavor.
