As a pay day treat we decided to try somewhere different and headed up to A La Cruz on Exmouth Market, Clerkenwell for the lunch set menu. The restaurant specialises in Argentina steak is owned by the guy who set up Buen Ayre where I took Mat for his birthday a couple of months back, you can see the post here.

It was a very reasonable two courses for £12, so I went for the mushrooms in a parmesan and breadcrumb crust, delicious and quite a large portion. This was followed by humongous piece of rare rump steak with creamed spinach, also delicious with some extra chips on the side which were really crispy.

The place is lovely, and is a little bit more chic than its rustic older brother Buen Ayre but it was a shame it was so quiet for a lunchtime, we did the best to make our own atmosphere but a few more diners would have really lifted the place.
