While reviews for Canteen are mixed, Londonist has had nothing but good meals at both their branches (service can be surly though). A whole day's worth of meals have been put away there, from the eggs benedict above for breakfast through to the veal and chicken pie below for dinner. Portion sizes are generous, making for some extravagant photos. A recent roast duck meal came to the table with two whole duck legs, generosity indeed!
