To-try list in London - Spring 2011

French

Seven Park Place, Green Park
The new Michelin one-star boy.

"Tortellini of lobster with roasted cauliflower and truffle butter sauce was a really luscious plateful, one big, bright yellow open parcel of pasta, containing lots of lobster claw meat. Pasta doesn’t get more sinful." - The Evening Standard

Gordan Ramsay, London

I am sure you know enough already

...Perhaps about time to try since he just proudly received another star (Petrus)?

Italian

Eleven Park Walk, Chelsea
If salty queen Arbutus and Wild honey have one star....Eleven Park Walk definitely deserves one too, says me.



---


Indian

The one closest to your home.
HAH.

---

Modern European

Texture, Bond St

New Micheline one-star winner too.
With an Icelandic touch, "each dish abounded with textural contrasts and delighted with subtle hints of majestic flavours that tickled and tantalised our taste buds." - A Girl has to eat

---

New & Noteworthy

Opera Tavern, Covent Garden

Spanish.
"Covent Garden needs fewer tourist traps and chains, and more bars and restaurants of real character - such as the just-reopened Opera Tavern." - Time Out

Kopapa, Covent Garden

Fusion.
"Kopapa is an all-day place, so whether or not I ever get the urge for mutton and quince stew, I'll definitely come back to try Gordon's breakfast concoctions, and for more of the sweet stuff with a cup of tea in the afternoon." - The Indepndent

Dinner by Heston, Knightsbridge

British.
New establishment by Chefs from Fat Duck.

YEP. THE OMG-FAT DUCK

Unfortunately...

already full until May 31. Yes you heard me right, May 31.

For the time being, visit here, here and here to please your eyeballs.

The Spice Market, Leicester Sq
Pan-Asian.

"After a nine-year absence following the closure of his critically acclaimed restaurant Vong, three Michelin-starred, celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten was given a welcome at the premiere of his new London restaurant, Spice Market, which opened February 14 along with the W London-Leicester Square hotel." - The Independent
