Before going to Piaf at Southbank on the weekend I was told by a few of my friends to ‘get the belly pork – you have to have the belly pork.’ Maybe because everybody told me I ‘had to have the belly pork,’ I didn’t get the belly pork. Instead I indulged in a petite steak on a bed of mash potato and I sampled a friend’s serving of belly pork. Usually after eating steak, I am sent into some sort of food coma but Piaf specialises in smaller servings, where the last thing you remember is not how full you are but how good the food tasted. The menu is a combination of rich French flavours with the clarity and freshness of Asian fare. For anyone venturing to Piaf, my last words of advice – ‘you have to get the belly pork!’ Honestly it’s delicious!
