Some highlights from a recent lunch at @impala.soho in London:
• Kibbeh of white crab and sun-dried wheat in shiso leaf
• Fried Vesuvio tomato with raw sea bass and saffron
• Pounded white beans with wild herbs and bottarga
• Aish Baladi, whole grain and bran
• Sweetbreads with a salad of salted onions and pickled green chilies
• Duck roasted in molasses with golden gage and Victoria plums
• 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin “Clos du Château” by Domaine Armand Rousseau
📍 Impala, London
Impala is chef @meedu_saad’s new Soho restaurant, drawing on North African flavors with French and Thai influences.
This was an exceptionally good meal — and since leaving London, I’ve found myself thinking almost daily about how soon I could return. Review to follow.
