Claude’s Kitchen

5 stars? you might ask!
As an anglophile of sorts but never impressed by British food, I had heard raves, for the last 10 – 15 years, of the modern take on typical local and seasonal produce by young chefs. Visiting London atleast twice a year and never trying it out, not for want of desire, but lack of interest by friends in London, I finally got my way.
Other than the wine, everything is local. Now the sad part is that at my age my memory is not too helpful in recalling the menu. Few unusual items I can remember, guinea fowl, romanesco (a broccoli type veggie). There were six of us and I gently guided everyone to have different food items, ’cause I wanted a taste of all. Did I get it. The attention and focus on bringing out the flavours is obvious and the results are spectacular. Every dish from appetizers to main were outstanding in taste and combinations they were served in. My friends were blown away. The menu is sensibly limited and well thought out.
Brilliant!
