| December 1st,2010 Category: Bistro (££) Who would have thought that there is a lovely French restaurant combined Jazz bar at the border of Elephant &Castle and Kennington? Even though I live rather close,I tend to ignore this area and if it wouldn’t be for the White Bear Theatre (a very decent pub theatre on Kennington Park Road) I would still be in ignorance about the fact that you can actually have a swell night out in Kennington. September 26th,2010 Catgory: Bistro Clos Maggiore,a French restaurant in Covent Garden,does not only offer an incredibly well-priced set-menu (19.50 for 3 courses or 24.50 for 2 courses and a half-bottle of wine) but is also supposed to be the most romantic dining spot in London. So I dragged my better half along for a Sunday lunch. August 17th,2010 Category: Brasserie
I was invited to review Cafe Luc,which is a new restaurant in Marylebone. The Belgian restaurateur Luc van Oostende has opened Cafe Luc together with his daughter Julie. The result is a swank brasserie with Belgian/French inspired food. It is in general rather pricey but also offers cheaper options with starters ranging from 5.50 to 12.50 pounds and mains starting from 12 pounds. In addition,their three course set menu for 1 5.50 seems very good value for money. August 2nd,2010 Category: Brasserie Finally I have made it to Bar Boulud,next to Knightsbridge tube station located in the ground floor of the exceedingly posh Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Bar Boulud has been written up to death (e.g. MarinaMetro,AA Gil,Jay Rayner, and a myriad of bloggers) so I will keep myself short.
The owner and chef,Daniel Boulud,is a successful restaurateur in New York where he doesn’t only have a restaurant with 3 Michelin stars (‘Daniel’) but is also famous for his up-market burgers . July 9th,2010 Category: Haute Cuisine A special restaurant for special occasions I was very excited to finally dine at The Ledbury in Notting Hill. (I took RS there for his birthday,lucky guy!) The chef Brett Graham is only 30 years old and has accomplished 2 Michelin stars for his restaurant (for a more detailed description of the chef’s CV and some beautiful pictures of the food at the Ledbury I refer you to the excellent post by Cheese and Biscuits). The food is ‘modern French’with some interesting twists,I particularly enjoyed the play with unusual flavours which you kind of think can’t work together and can’t help but order out of curiosity:let me guarantee you however,they do work very well indeed!

I rarely get up to Marylebone but when I do I always seem to end up at La Fromagerie. What a charming little place,like a restaurant with a French accent if you know what I mean. La Fromagerie,as the name promises,is predominantly a cheese shop with an amazing cheese room,which you can also check out online (Online cheese room). I could not believe my eyes –they even have cheese from Austria! (they do deserve credit for this as you cannot say that Austria is exactly famous for its cheese…) |
