About
NAC, short for North Audley Cantine, opened in 2013 in London's Mayfair district. Founded by three childhood friends, the restaurant is known for its modern European comfort food with a playful twist. Signature dishes include popcorn chicken, halloumi fries, and their famous warm cookie dessert topped with ice cream and Frosties. The chic, Parisian-inspired interior and lively atmosphere have made NAC a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
The Visit
NAC in Mayfair was recommended by a local who praised its popcorn chicken, vodka pasta, and halloumi fries. The reviewer found the atmosphere busy and stylish, but noted the high prices, with some dishes feeling overpriced for the portion size. While the halloumi fries were underwhelming, the popcorn chicken impressed with its juiciness and flavor. The vodka pasta was tasty, albeit slightly overcooked. Service was friendly, and anticipation built for the signature dessert.
What They Ate
Quotes
"These chicken popcorn balls, though, on the other hand, they look like they've got corn flakes on. Sriracha mayo and a bit of fried chicken, I don't think you can go wrong. They are really nice."
"(Vodka pasta) It's a bit of a watery vodka sauce, but let's not judge it yet. Ooh, this is good, this. This is really good."
"(Passion fruit lemonade) I hate to say it, but it is really good. It's not 13 pounds good"
