| February 8th,2012  Wild Mushroom and Truffle Risotto @Almeida Category: Brasserie (£££) Almeida,a French brasserie just opposite the outstanding Almeida Theater,does a very good value pre-theatre menu:2 courses for 16 and 3 courses for 19 pounds. We went to see The House of Bernarda Alba,a Llorca play with a pure female cast, transferred from catholic Spain to rural Iran. I liked it a lot,while my boyfriend found it depressing and hated it. I suggest you believe me and go see it,it’s on until 10th of March. January 24th,2012  Menu @Mishkin Category: Bistro (££)
I absolutely love Spuntino,have enjoyed Da Polpo,feel rather indifferent towards Polpo and haven’t yet been to Polpetto. This,in one sentence,summarises my experience with the restaurants owned by Russell Norman and Richard Beatty,undoubtedly the most interesting and most influential restaurateurs to have appeared in the London gastronomic scene over the past few years.

It is a hard job to be an amateur restaurant critic. Always rushing off to the newest openings,which means,thanks to the new non-booking trend,queuing for hours in the cold,eating mediocre food in places hyped for inapprehensible reasons and then there is the constant fight against personal bankruptcy,alcoholism and obesity. January 12th,2012  Scallops,Garlic,Chili (11) @Galoupet Category: Brasserie (£££) And another small plate restaurant. I remember when these restaurants started to pop up everywhere I was thrilled. Now I have reached a point of saturation where all I want once in a while is a normal menu! January 9th,2012  Amuse bouche @Petrus Category: Haute Cuisine (££££) About a year ago I participated at a competition posted by the lovely Greedy Diva and won the amazing prize of a £200 voucher to dine at any of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants. Initially I wanted to splash it at the 3 Michelin star Gordon Ramsay at Hospital Road,but as I am not organised enough to make a reservation in due time ahead,I decided to try Petrus in Knightsbridge instead (reservation on the day possible).

Dear Sale e Pepe,Congratulations! You won the prestigious HungryinLondon Award for the worst and most overpriced meal of the year 2011. It was a close one between you and Osteria Basilico in Notthing Hill,(the Italians going strong!) but you managed to pull it off,well done! December 4th,2011  Baked Pumpkin,Raschera Cheese,Mushrooms and Chard (13) @Elliot's
Category: Bistro Elliot’s conveniently located South of Borough Market is exactly what had been missing from this part of London. Launched in summer 2011 it has steadily increased in popularity,and this rightly so. Elliot’s is a typical London 2011 restaurant:easy going,no reservations,small plates to share,inventive seasonal food,friendly young personnel,and very affordable. (for other restaurants with similar concepts that opened in 2011 look no further than for example Spuntino,Da Polpo,Duck Soup Soho,Riding House Cafe,…). November 21st,2011
 fragrant fruit in paper wrap Category: Haute Cuisine ££££ To finally dine at to Mugaritz was a foodie dream of mine coming true and on the big day I was excited like a little child on Christmas Eve. You have never heard of Mugaritz? Let me share some key facts with you first before proceeding to THE meal. Location:Mugaritz is located in the little village of Errenteria,a 15 minutes scenic drive away from Europe’s culinary capital San Sebastian in the Spanish Basque Country. November 20th,2011  When visiting France’s most famous region for the production of gorgeous red wine,it is worthwhile spending some time in the city that gives this wine its name:Bordeaux. It is the capital of the department Gironde in the region Aquitaine and well over 1 million people live in this beautiful and charming city with a lot of French flair. November 6th,2011
 1. course:Soup with chicken and mushroom
Category: Brasserie (£££) Hunan on Pimlico Road is contrary to what the name suggests,not a Hunanese restaurant. In my limited knowledge of Chinese cuisines,I would have placed it as being Cantonese,as dishes were rather mild and a some reminded me of upmarket versions of stir fries I had in Chinatown. According to their website,Hunan‘s food is mainly the chef’s own creations,chiefly influenced by Taiwanese. |
