The Goring Dining Room
The hotel was opened in 1910 by Otto R Goring and remains a family business today, itself a rarity. Situated just a stones’ throw from Buckingham Palace, it has a long association with the Royal family (and a royal warrant since 2013), Queen mum who…
Bonhams Restaurant : The Best of 2015
Other meals at Bonhams : Oct 16 , Sept 16 , June 16 , May16 , Mar16 , Dec15 , Oct15 The best meals I ate in London this year are at this auctioneer’s little gem of a restaurant. You can tell how much I…
Brasserie Chavot (RELOCATING in 2016)
[UPDATE : Immediately after uploading this, Ed told me this is closing down on 31st December. So visit before then!] I love the bombastic opulence about this restaurant. From the beautiful mosaic tiled floors, burgundy banquettes, swing music, fake chandeliers, antique-effect mirrors and dressed up…

Other meals at Bonhams : Oct 16 , Sept 16 , June 16 , May16 , Mar16 , Dec15 , Oct15 I assume you’ve read Jay’s love letter, in which he described his glorious meal at this restaurant. A Michelin star soon followed, as Bonhams…
Portland
LondonEater in HD. It might take longer to load (sorry) but these are purer visuals (no sidebars). So what’d you reckon? Can you believe these are from Leica glass made in the 1950s ? Can you spot which are from the iPhone6 ? So I…
HKK CNY 2015
DISCLAIMER : RESTAURANT INVITATION. I DID NOT PAY FOR THIS MEAL. A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from Hakkasan’s marketing peeps for an invite to try their 2015 Chinese New Year Menu at Chef Tong’s HKK in the city. And since it’s…
Lyle’s
Yup, exactly like Marina said, this is baby St John, but maybe I’d go a bit further and say St John with Japanese influences. It probably comes as no surprise since James Lowe and John Ogier had cut their teeth at St John Bread & Wine.…
The Clove Club
3rd May 2016 UPDATE: Revisited in 2016 for the Extended Taster Menu. Worth a read. Review here. OK I’m back. Kind of. Service is resumed so to speak. You’ve been keeping well I hope. It’s been a while I know, I’m still eating out but…
Ametsa with Arzak Instruction
…in my dreams, they are delivered through sealed message tubes passed directly from the Arzak to Ametsa kitchens, through an elaborate infrastructure of pneumatically controlled subsea pipelines underneath the Bay of Biscay. On one hand, it should be obvious that quality of food is controlled…
Bo London (CLOSED)
It’s not that I don’t like ‘high end’ Chinese food, it’s just that I don’t think the cooking is good enough to set it apart from (say) the average Chinese restaurant. Yes that Ling Ling bar is still genius interior design after all these years,…
&: The Kitchen Table at Bubbledogs
A few weeks after it opened, Bubbledogs – the hotdogs & champagne bar – continues to entertain massive queues to rival the likes of Meatwagon’s restaurants. I went there a couple of weeks ago and while I think the whole setup is decent and understand…
