As one of only 13 two-star Michelin restaurants in London, La Dame de Pic stands out as a beacon of gastronomic excellence. From the elegant decor to the impeccable service, every aspect of the dining experience is designed to delight the senses. And let's not forget the handmade rose butter--an absolute must-try! The luxurious, creamy texture and subtle, floral notes are simply divine. Alexandro was very thoughtful and informative as well. The menu is a masterpiece of innovation, featuring dishes like the crapaudine beet root perfumed with eucalyptus and lovage, and the ikejime pollock with wild sea herbs, dulse geranium, wasabi, ginger. The fish was so fresh that it showed the rainbow on the texture. The final course, white millefeuille Tahitian vanilla jasmine jelly and voatsiperfery pepper cloud. These exquisite creations showcase Chef Anne-Sophie Pic's culinary brilliance and the restaurant's commitment to pushing the boundaries of French cuisine.

It was lovely but I think there are better overall experiences and values for 2 Michelin stars…read more The team did a great job on service and venue itself is well-spaced, with nice music curation and a good atmosphere. I cannot fault them on any of those aspects. We had the queen of spades menu with the emotion pairing. So that meant we had mackerel, berlingots, white asparagus, lobster, seabass, guinea fowl, red leicester cheese and then dessert (chocolate for me). The wine pairings were not spectacular. I think they are trying to do too much and be too smart. With these dishes there are some lovely classics that will go well. I think we had one wine all night that we truly loved and the rest were either not wine (an alcoholic tea in one case) or relatively recent for what I would have expected at 280 pounds each. I get that may be the business model of 2 star restaurants but then perhaps my jam is just one star and near-starred places. I wouldn't refuse an invitation to go back but we will not seek it out again.

I never got to eat at La Tante Claire, Pierre Koffmann's legendary 3* Michelin restaurant. However…read moreIm glad that he still cooks, and it's the food he loves. There are some signature LTC dishes sprinkled throughout so you get a few examples of the Koffmann chef experience. Met up with a group of friends to just happen to all be in town at the same time. The space is quite large and just around the corner from Marcus in the Berkeley Hotel. Dont miss the pig topiary as you enter! On a late Sunday, it's one of the few nice restos to be open, replete with a large French staff. We ended up sharing: FOIE GRAS CHAUD, ENDIVE ET SAUTERNES Hot foie gras, chicory & Sauternes CALAMARS BOLOGNAISE Squid Bolognese style LANGOUSTINES Langoustine tortellini with langoustine broth FLAN DE FROMAGE DE CHÈVRE ET BETTERAVES Goat's cheese flan with beetroot PIED DE COCHON, TANTE CLAIRE Pig's trotter stuffed, sweetbreads & morels MONKFISH Special BAR SAUVAGE, PURÉE DE BROCOLIS ET SAUCE AUX AGRUMES Fillet of sea bass, broccoli purée & citrus sauce Pistachio Souffle and Pruneau D'Agen as our desserts. Everything was delicious and very filling. You also start with a charcuterie plate, 6 types of bread and mignairdises at the end. As far as London fine food goes, the prices arent too bad either. If you want to taste the food of a master in his more mellow days of cooking for the love. Definitely check it out. 4.3 stars

I am relatively new to fine dining and I wasn't around that scene when Pierre Koffmann established…read morehis reputation as one of London's greatest chefs with his 3 Michelin starred restaurant La Tante Claire, which was based at Chelsea's Royal Hospital Road, now the site of Gordon Ramsay's restaurant and then at the Berkeley. He retired in 2004 just as I was starting to get into fine dining. I missed his pop-up venture at Selfridge's last year and so, I was very excited to hear that this French culinary legend, who was also head chef at the Roux brothers' 3 Michelin starred Waterside Inn in Bray, had returned to the Berkeley. There is always that slight trepidation that some legends don't know when to quit and besmirch their memory with ill-advised comebacks in the style of Lance Armstrong or Michael Schimacher (so far) The Berkeley is also currently hosting Marcus Wareing's 2 Michelin starred restaurant and I'm impressed that this hotel is aiming very high with its cuisine. First impressions at Koffmann's is how light the decor is. Unlike Marcus Wareing's place with its dark wood veneer, the earth tones, food-themed photos on the walls and oopen kitchen create a less over-bearing atmosphere. The menu is classically and unapologetically French. It shows the confidence of the chef in his method and his palate. I started with a French fish soup, one of my favourite starters and this version lived up to my expectations with a satisfying depth of flavour, enhanced by the traditional accompaniments of croutons, rouille and gruyere. For main course, it was a no brainer - I had heard so much about the eponymous Koffmann's pig's trotter stuffed with chicken mousseline, sweetbreads and morels, much copied but never bettered by other chefs. This was in fact the reason I chose to eat here. Well, his signature dish lived up to its reputation. The mind boggles to think how much work goes into its preparation but the unctuous softness of the trotter and its contents just melts in the mouth. I finished with the pistachio souffle, which was technically perfect and this was accompnaied by pistachio ice cream. A warm welcome back to Chef Koffmann and thanks for a great meal.

What an awful Experience for breakfast. Service was non existent and food was not up to or with the…read morestandards that langham holds. The buffet bar was so limited and consisted of either sugar or raw meat. Our experience started when we invited a friend over to meet us at the hotel restaurant (which was this) for breakfast. We ordered porridge and just a simple salmon Benedict for our guests. The porridge was filled with heavy cream after telling he waitress that we wanted it dairy free . I ordered a vegan gluten-free plate which they said they would be more than accommodating to make and the waitress listed off items that sounded phenomenal but by the time I plate showed up, there was just steamed spinach, small side of beans, and nothing of which they promised because the waitress never informed me that the things she recommended are neither vegan nor gluten-free. We asked repeatedly for hot teas, orange juice and water which we never received. So I ended up getting up and going to one of the side counters where there was a jar of water and brought it back to the table and filled it myself. Go else where for breakfast if you are staying at the hotel.

What a dining experience! If I were to have a last meal, this would be the place I would have it!…read moreThe meal is less expensive than some of the other michelin star restaurants, but the quality is higher in my opinion. We reserved our spot weeks in advance, and it was pretty busy. It caters to the business class, so lots of suits here. We had the 5 course meal which was amazing. I don't think I could ever find a restaurant that offers this level of food. Anytime that I am in London, I will definitely return.

Gastro is a lovely place - the food is amazing and the décor very charming…read more On the up side it is very authentically French, the food is delicious and the staff are friendly. However, it gets quite busy and when I went there it took quite a while for us to be served our food, which is quite pricey for what it is. It's not somewhere you'd want to frequent very often as the food is very rich and I'm no millionaire, but for a romantic night out or a special occasion its great!

We have been visiting regularly the Gastro for a long time now and I can always recommend the chateaubriand steak for dinner and a full bodied wine (the manager can always recommend a good bottle of wine without letting you down) and for breakfast I always have the the eggs atlantique with Benedict sauce. However the last time the sauce was quite funny and didn't meet my expectations, I hope that was just a coincidence! Last time we ordered oysters for our starter, six to share between two. The size of the oysters was really small ! Never ask for ketch up or they will get offended and for lactose intolerant people there is no such thing is soya milk! They don't charge for extra bread which is always good. Their espresso is fine but next time I'll probably go for the chocolate! The service is in general good, taking into account they all french and therefore not very popular for that reason. However most of them are very accommodating and polite. Once you become a regular costumer and they recognize you the service becomes better and they will definitely look after you well!

That sense is not wrong: you are. The menus (one a tasting menu, the other a la carte), are very inventive and rapidly cause glands to salivate. Clever mix of ingredients & cooking forms, and plenty of delicious options to choose from. The wine menu was robust, well-balanced for palates & dishes ordered, and had a comprehensive list of reasonably priced bottles. (We had the Gigondas: absolutely lovely) The dishes were amazing! Linguine w/ black truffles (divine), seared sea bass (more divine), braised short ribs (diviner (?) ), etc.. The cheese cart was sublime, with an excellent selection. The banana souffle tasted as magnificent as it looked. The service at La Trompette is exemplary. We were waited on impeccably, and just enough. If i had to suggest any improvements, it would be 1) serve crustier bread, and more than one option ( the bread served was fine, but the center was spongy), and 2) the toasts for the cheese crumbled into small pieces instantly (fortunately, I like getting my hands dirty with cheese..) I highly recommend La Trompette. Go. Often.

I live relatively close to this place, yet in almost 5 years I've not managed to come and check…read morethis place out...until this past Sunday. I was in an experimental mood and with my other half gone on a business trip, I browsed through my bookmarks list on the Yelp App until this place came up ;-) When I arrived, I was welcomed by Alan, one of the owners, and was seated right away. Turns out it was a very slow evening, which Alan attributed to the fact that it was Marathon Sunday in London. Well, good for me, as I had all the attention of the staff and therefore had a very pleasant dining experience. My favourite part of Del Parc is that I don't have to make a decision when it comes to food...in fact, you cannot make a decision. You just tell the staff about any dietary limitations you might have and off they go. I was reading on the blog of the Kentishtowner that this idea has evolved from the fact that many of the regular patrons just told the chef to prepare whatever he deemed to be best. This is my kind of restaurant ;-) And soon the platters (tapas) started appearing: at first a charcuterie selection, accompanied with pickles and filled olives. Then, a plate of Galician mussels was placed in front of me...and I was at first a little shocked. I should mention that I don't like mussels, but I had made a pact with the staff and my dietary limitations didn't include mussels. Well, turns out I actually do like mussels and I would've never found out, if I wasn't "forced" to eat them. The following dishes were spinach with pine nuts and marinated raisins, followed by king prawns in a very garlicky sauce. I confessed to Alan that I'm no pro in eating prawns and he suggested to just use my hands and dig out as much meat as possible. As this was a very messy undertaking, he brought me a bowl with lemon water to wash my hands in afterwards. He also brought me some additional baguette to soak up the garlic sauce. When I said that you don't need to make any decision here, then I was slightly incorrect: you do need to make a decision about what you want to drink. I went for sherry, as this fit perfectly into my experimental mood...being somewhat of a sherry-virgin ;-) I really liked the sherry that Alan chose for me, although I thought it was a little to chilled. After I'd finished my meal, I engaged in a longish conversation with Alan - given that there were no other customers, he was able to dedicate a lot of attention to me. He told me that they'd been at this place for about 12 years now and that before this little tapas place, he and his partner-in-crime, Steve (the chef) had actually run a deli nearby. Overall I really liked it here and I will have to come back with more people - given that this is a tapas place, it ought to be more fun to sample more dishes.

Yum. I just had one of the tastiest meals in aaages at Del…read moreParc. What a lovely, lovely place!! It is quite a small restaurant, and they were too full for us to reserve a table, so we just sat by the bar at the front. The staff were friendly and helpful and the smells coming from the kitchen made me hungry as soon as we stepped inside the door!! They have a tapas menu, an a la carte menu and the chefs menu (where they just keep bringing you food until you roll out happy and full...for £30.) We (of course) went for the chefs menu, and I am sooo glad we did. I didn't take any photos of the first few dishes as we were hungry and the lads I was with ate half of everything before I could get my camera out... but I remembered for about half the dishes - have a peek at my photos for a better description than I could possibly paint with words. Marc and I normally try to avoid Spanish food (as Marc's mother is from Catalonia and is such a good cook, that normally tapas in England is rubbish in comparison.) This is the first time we have ever found a Spanish place that we both love... we're even considering bringing Marc's mum to try it next time she comes to London. If you ever find yourself near Tufnell park or Archway, just come here.
