House of Herby. I took one look at Darcy's and knew it was for me. It bore a charming resemblance to Made In Belfast - mismatched chairs, newspaper wall paper, flowers, odd bits and props around the restaurant. Shabby chic and totally darling.

They have pre-theatre meal deals as well as an a la carte menu - they present you with your pegged bundle and leave you to agonise. We decided to hit up the cocktails - an easy decision - while we decided on food. We ordered a Classic Mojito, Mango Mojito and a Passion Fruit & Watermelon Caipirissima. Lovely.

We settled on a couple of main courses as we weren't really wanting to be too full. The food is really nice here - simple but lovely grub! I liked that they have different dishes across several menu options - there is something for everyone.

Battered Fish & Chips - You know, sometimes there is nothing better than a plate of fish and chips! This was gorgeous - flaky fish in a gorgeous crispy batter. Served with real man's chips - chunky, skins on and deep fried until crispy outside but fluffy inside. It was served with lemon, a pickle and tartare sauce. I have to say: I'd have killed for some peas!

Coconut, Ginger & Chilli Curry with Chicken - The sauce for this curry looks deceptively milky. Away first I thought it looked like it'd be sweet and a bit sickly, but it doesn't at all. It is creamy and has a lovely coconut taste but the ginger, garlic and chilli take hold and it has a warm kick to it. Beautiful.

Penne Carbonara - This is such a simple, classic pasta. Darcy's get it totally right - they're one of the few places that add mushrooms. I love mushrooms in my carbonara! Their bacon was really smokey added a lovely deep flavour to the sauce. The pasta was properly al dente and had a lovely bite. Delicious.

Darcy's is my new light dinner & cocktail favourite. I want to go there in advance of all concerts and nights out now! It's my kinda brasserie.
