Here’s a meal I did not eat but was told it was innovative, enjoyable, and, in London, a rare value. I know many readers, chefs, get ideas simply by viewing the pictures so here they are. The darkened room certainly led to graininess so I’ve kept the pictures small to keep them tight.

Cauliflower amuse

Foie Gras amuse

Tuna Tartare with pistachio and invisible yuzo

Mackeral Toast with braised baby carrots

Seared Langoustine with pork jowl and salted orange

Eringe a la Plancha with pine nut risotto

Poached Foie Gras with seared mango and miso

Roasted Pollack with ratte potatoes and saffron

Venison al Carbon with textures of cauliflower

Nashi Pear Sorbet

Dark Chocolate with pineapple mille feuille

Considering the price, 46 pounds, I’ll try it if I ever find myself in London again. It would certainly beat the 100 pound Tom Aikens disappointment from nearly 2 years ago – a meal far worse than my photography in that post.
