Posh Food

Any posh suggestions in North London? Islington/Haringey area.

Trullo is my first thought. Or Ottolenghi? Seasons Kitchen in Stroud Green?

Seasons is good.

Tramp on Green Lanes http://cafetramp.co.uk/ (although I've heard the decor is better than the food).

Cheers both. Was thinking Odettes in Primrose Hill but the above both seem lovely.

Oldroyds in Angel is a great little spot

The food there is pretty great! Ate there in Feb and was really pleased with it.

Went to Trullo the other night - excellent food and wine at very good prices. Much recommend, wow.

UK weekend getaway protipz. 2 hours max outside of london. swanky, tho not bank breaky.

hit me up poshos!

I enjoyed this place and Bath is nice for a weekend away http://www.menugordonjones.co.uk/ Need to book quite a bit advance for dinner, it's a bit easier for lunch.

Tasting menu at Michael Caines' restaurant Abode in Manchester was amazing, service was also excellent

Been to a couple of The Pig locations and I reckon the stay is bank-breaky, lunch/dinner there is not.

thanks all - on it.

ended up at the unfortunately monikered Ethicurian some ways outside of brizzle. set in a walled garden overlooking some quality postcard moments - scran is sourced from said garden and surrounding country/seaside. well worth the schlep - mater and mrs hell loved it and got smashed, i drove.

Off to Marcus @ the Berkley in a couple weeks - good venue?

Le Cinq, Paris: restaurant review

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/apr/09/le-cinq-paris-restaurant-review-jay-rayner?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard

I've been looking forward to Jays review for a week. It was worth waiting for.

Bit late (don't always look here regularly) but yes. Very good. Good veggie fare too.

Jamavar Mayfair lunchtime menu.
Must be the best value in the area. Indian food done beautifully. One to impress your partner on a Saturday trip to Selfridges. Or Vivien Westwood if that's your bag. Watch out for Lambos in stealth mode and Bentleys in 'fucking look at me' mode.

Two friends and I went to York yesterday to have lunch at Skosh, based entirely from Jay Rayner's review earlier this year.

It was worth the travel. By miles.

Without a doubt the nicest food I've ever eaten. Also ridiculously good value.

I can't out do the review so easiest to just go and read it and take it from me that every word is true.

Book now.

Who is going to be the first to report back from here ...

Off to Texture tonight, will report back

Anyone been?

I'm on the waiting list...

Texture was wonderful. We had the tasting menu, they took great care to ensure my need for non-dairy was catered for. They give you these crisps to nibble on whilst you are deciding what to have, no idea what the fuck the are but they are like crack. They also replenish bread supplies throughout the meal.

Tasting menu
Yellow fin tuna with ginger, soy, fennel and coriander
Asparagus with goat’s cheese snow and hazelnuts
Anjou Pigeon with chargrilled sweetcorn, shallot, bacon popcorn and red wine essence
Smoked eel, bonito broth, quinoa and turnips – my favourite of the night
Veal with white asparagus, sugar snap peas and saint george’s
Pre- dessert – some sort of watermelon sorbet with jelly
Alphonso mango, passionfruit soup, sorbet and snow peas

As we were leaving they stopped us to give us some skyr to take home (sadly I cannot eat it but Simon was very happy)

Sounds amazing!

Anybody got any Cornwall recommendations? Staying in Falmouth for a week but have car.

I had a good roast in at the Star and Garter in Falmouth, not particularly posh but nice and cracking views across the water.
