Amsterdam; city of style, great people and freedom… shame about the disabled access! All the streets in the main city area are cobbled and the road system of cars/buses/trams/motorbikes/scooters/bikes is bewildering. They come at you from all directions! It doesn’t help that when you decide to place yourself in a restaurant away from the chaos…
Update Dec 2012: Went to The Delaunay had a great time – there is no step in, it’s a smooth ramp and the doorman will also help. Very friendly and welcoming, lots of people, it’s in the middle of ‘theatreland’ on the corner of Drury Lane & Aldwych, and can be noisy but it adds…
I’m a long time visitor of Coq D’Argent and it’s totally accessible! There’s a lift up to the rooftop restaurant, it’s all on one level and there’s space to move around although it can be cramped at times. There’s also a fully accessible disabled toilet. The roof terrace is beautiful and many lunch-times/afternoons have been spent…
We have audited The Commander and as well as doing good seafood the restaurant is all on one level apart from a tiny ‘lip’ to get in, one step to the back garden and flat access to courtyard on the side. There’s a disabled loo, even if it is used as a storage room between uses. We have…
We haven’t audited Dream Bags and Jaguar Shoes but we have found out it’s all on one level, they sell pizzas but it’s a bar not a restaurant. Although very trendy there is no disabled loo, Dream Bags and Jaguar Shoes get a provisional 1 BBS Tick
Having visited Polpo in Covent Garden last week we can confirm they do have a disabled toilet! The atmosphere in the restaurant is great and the staff are very friendly and helpful, I recommend the veal and porcini meat balls! Music was good and will definitely go again. It’s very ‘now’ and as it’s like a New York…
E&O restaurant, has Pan-Asian cuisine and a vibrant bar, TimeOut says: “the cooking rarely hits the heights the prices do, but the disarmingly friendly service from hipster staff helps compensate” BBS says there’s a three inch step to get in, no disabled toilet as they are downstairs. So there’s a provisional 1.5 BBS Ticks for E&O
We haven’t visited Cinnamon Kitchen the restaurant or Anise the Bar but if they’re as good as their sister restaurants – Cinnamon Soho and Cinnamon Club they’ll be worth a visit. They’ve told me there’s a lift to the restaurant and there’s a disabled toilet but they’re unsure of how many grab rails there are. We’ve awarded…
We visited London Syon Park when it first opened in 2011. Set in the beautiful grounds of Syon Park, Isleworth – this is a lavishly decorated hotel, that’s easy to access with plenty of disabled facilities, including disabled rooms – although we didn’t see them. We did go to Peacock Alley which is the hotel’s…
