| Beautiful plates |
I could think of worst ways to spend a Thursday lunch. Sunny, crisp London day, no random snow showers, freezing winds, rain or any other detractors to remind us that Spring is just around the corner. It is, it is. Paired with a leisurely team lunch of tasty French fare followed by an extended coffee stop, I feel myself relax into weekend mode already.
Freshly baked variety of breads to start, alongside a whipped Chantilly butter (it was extremely moorish and had hints of toffee) as well as a smoked butter. Every dish was constructed with interesting combination of textures and tastes - my sea urchin veloute was extremely 'seafoody' but was toned down by a creamy cauliflower soup like pulp alongside crunchy 'chips'.
All dishes were enjoyed and with a lunch menu of 3 courses for GBP25, it was extremely good value especially for the quality of cooking. Next door there is a wine cellar/bar which had an extensive menu of small plates that I believe I will enjoy thoroughly and will therefore warrant another visit.
