[UPDATED : I included my 2nd meal in this post. Scroll past the 1st meal to see it. The ham, oh gosh…] Shh…! Don’t tell anyone, this place is soooo good. What do you mean you’re already a regular?! I finally found the time to…
I first went to 28-50 in Fetter Lane 6 years ago and have since enjoyed returning to the Marlyebone and Maddox Street branches. I like the 75ml measures, the ever changing themes, eventually coravin for rarer things. I have always loved Paul Walsh’s food in…
This is utterly surreal. I’ve been buying wine from Robersons (same guys behind London Cru) for years now and it was there that I ‘discovered’ Noble Rot, displayed at the shop till. It was instant love with the mini-format wine magazine, with the early ones…
So here we are at Jason Atherton’s next in his vastly expanding campaign for global dominance. This would be number 19 or 20 since 2011, I think? You already know about his trail blazing from his Maze days, through to Pollen Street, the diffusion Socials…
I should be speared for not fully appreciating Mikael Jonsson’s pursuit for unimpeachable produce. I had returned to Hedone for subsequent visits and while I ate some dishes which are true inventions of sophistication, I just didn’t feel as ecstatic sitting through the meal. Really…
The austere profile and procurement gimmick should – on paper – make 10 Cases an instant hit which is keeping with current trends. But in reality, this restaurant is so deliberately lacking that the end result is nearly banal. Styled as a British Bistrot, it…
I have been heavily anticipating the opening of 28-50’s new site in Marylebone Lane, by sommelier Xavier Rousset and chef Agnar Sverrisson of perennial Icelandic bib winner Texture fame, which has now turned into a fairly successful, well executed wine-bistro. Compared to the original Fetter…
Despite the narrative the web has spun around Galoupet, you should know that this is not a restaurant. Don’t come here expecting to be fed, because you will be a little confused. Even the decor strays far from the norm, like the faintly perfumery, sterile…
My favourite London restaurant is Cambio de Tercio. I think Abel Lusa’s fabulous, often times adventurous and sometimes experimental change of pace to Spanish cooking is the best representative of the cuisine to grace the Big Smoke. This is my most frequented restaurant in London,…
Remember back in 2008, there was a little known wine bar, in Charing Cross called Terroirs? You know the one I’m talking about. It garnered gushing reviews from all four corners, everybody showed up to the party, and everybody thought it was pretty amazing. Well,…
On paper, this two month old wine bar in Fulham road reads like a winner. A laid back, well decked out bistro atmosphere, a dedicated and extensive wine list and a grazing Anglo-French menu, with fancy charcuterie made in-house and otherwise sourced from artisans in…
From the creators of the sleeper hit of the century, the Icelandic inspired, macaron-winning, Texture, comes Rousset & Sverrisson’s next high octane, vinely-charged collaboration, titled 28-50. The name is a geographical tip of the hat to all the world’s vineyards, most
