The roast tomato & red pepper soup with basil is an example of a deftly balanced soup with perfect acidity and sweetness of the tomatoes and red peppers. Often soups like these, thought to be easy to make, are imbalanced with a poor texture. Not here. Top marks for atmosphere and service. Highly...
