Also went to the Shiori last night, first time having proper sashimi and it was amazing, not cheap but you easily get value for money with the whole experience. Every dish was interesting and delicious but i think the simplest dish of bamboo rice and pickles actually took the prize.

wut?

The peanut-seitan balls dusted with dehydrated lactose is super good.

that's just powdered milk.

I thought it was just concentrated allergen.

Dredge but we're going to try and finally do this.

boast post: went to the soft launch of a soon to be opened, michelin star baiting restaurant in mayfair's famous mayfair on friday. utterly amazing, proper old fashioned french cooking. highlights included the lobster broth including an entire lobster, liver and fennel ravioli and a sublime jasmine creme brulee - 8 courses in all and two bottles of quality plonk - all for the princely sum of one queenquid.

envy Name of restaurant?

Need to pick a 1 star for gf bday in August, ideally is a non-standard Asian fusion or middle eastern or Indian tasting menu, with wine pairing. I'd really like a place with a lot of non traditional plates all lined up. Suggestions?
I don't have big experience in these, esp in London, is 80£ per person a reasonable ceiling price?

Gymkhana satisfies all your criteria

Not starred, but I love Roka, the foods fantastic. No idea about their wine, as the sake's excellent. http://www.rokarestaurant.com/about-roka

Are Michelin stars really that important?

Well, that is a good question. No, they are not.

Yes - the Maillot Jaune of the restaurant business.
