Desserts and a massive cocktail.
How do you follow an incredible meal at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @dabizdiverxo DiverXO in Madrid? You go to @streetxomadrid of course. What would we like to eat we were asked. “Give us all of the food please” was the standard reply. And so they did. As expected, punchy flavourful street food style dishes followed and our hands got very messy. Another level from StreetXO London (which I really enjoyed) this is a raucous affair, and any place that serves me a cocktail the size of my head gets a big thumbs up from me. A must visit restaurant while in Madrid. Thanks to @manudiverxo and the team for making it such a great experience @streetxo_madrid .

Dinner a few weeks ago at Hoja Santa in Barcelona with Marc Garcia and Alex Ruiz. Having had a couple of really great meals here a couple of years ago, I was looking forward to another visit. Unfortunately this meal didn’t really live up to my expectations despite the excellent company. There seems to have been a change of tack with the format of the menus and the dishes since my last visit which (IMO) is to the restaurant’s detriment. A few nice dishes but nothing really stood out except one dessert of ‘fig taco’ which gets the award for worst dessert of 2019 from me. Happy Christmas! Less

- Neil Walker added a new meal 2 lunches at direkte boqueria at DIREKTE Boqueria with Marc Garcia and Alejandro Alki
Recently featured in Forbes magazine as one of the 10 coolest places (whatever that means 🤷🏼♂️) to eat in 2020, Direkte Boqueria is a tiny 9 seat counter in Barcelona’s Boqueria market.

Recently featured in Forbes magazine as one of the 10 coolest places (whatever that means 🤷🏼♂️) to eat in 2020, Direkte Boqueria is a tiny 9 seat counter in Barcelona’s Boqueria market. Bag one of these seats and you could be forgiven for thinking you were sitting in an intimate kaiseki restaurant in a Tokyo back street rather than in the bustling Boquería.
An ever changing tasting menu featuring the best of Catalonia’s produce prepared with Japanese technique awaits if you can bag one of these highly prized seats. Top tip: after your first visit, pester chef Arnau Muñío to give you a heads up if a seat becomes available. Then when someone foolishly no-shows and you get a WhatsApp from Arnau at 1.30 in the afternoon, do as I did and drop what ever you are doing and whomever you are doing it with and sprint across town to put your bum on that seat. You won’t regret it.
Great company as ever Alejandro Alki and Marc Garcia🙏🏻 Less

Another visit to @ernst.berlin
I have a lot of time for @dylan1watson and the team at Ernst with their intense focus on what is the very best, in-season product at that moment. Finding it through actually visiting the forests, fields and farmers themselves maybe the morning before your meal. Seeing the potential in a humble ingredient like a simple salad leaf that is tentatively pushing it’s way out of the Earth, and pouncing on that product and transforming it into something wondrous to eat, without the aid of luxurious ingredients like truffles, caviar and uni. Seeing the potential in the very last raspberries of the season, the ones that even the farmer refuses to waste his time picking so they just pick’em themselves.
Taking just simple plates of food where using superb knowledge and technique, that one salad leaf, mushroom, piece of fish or cut of meat is able to shine brightly.
With the menu evolving and changing day after day and even during services on the fly, it’s great to know that you could visit Ernst one week later and most likely get 40 dishes all of which are different from your previous visit. According to Dylan and the team, the number of dishes that are in their repertoire since opening relatively recently is now in the thousands. You really get a sense of energy and fun when seated in front of this team. They are all extremely focused and clearly love what they are doing and this transfers on to the plate. Don’t be fooled by the simple presentations either, there is extraordinary depth of flavour in these dishes, a true skill. .

Yeast parfait, salted caramel ganache, caramelised walnut, horlicks milk gel & malt styrofoam
Lunch, an afternoon hike, and dinner with a room at @angelathetton The Angel Inn at Hetton a few weeks ago. This was another highlight for me during my October tour. @michaelwignall_ and wife Johanna have refurbished this Yorkshire institution and created what I believe will be a ‘must visit’ destination restaurant with rooms. Already garnered with one Michelin star in it’s first year, I have no doubt that when they open their planned more formal restaurant across the street next year it will only be a matter of time before they attain a second. Both my meals in the pub were of two star standard (IMO) so Michael and the team there really seem to have come out with all guns blazing.
Together with the luxurious two story rooms/cottages that you can stagger across the road to after dinner and enjoy a nightcap from your own honesty bar, and the instant access to some fantastic hiking in the Yorkshire Dales (a great way to digest after lunch ) this has the potential to be the perfect place for a weekend mini-break.
Very highly recommended.

Next stop was another visit to what is now one of my favourite restaurants in the UK, @restaurant_joro in Sheffield where chef/proprietor @lukejfrench and team create a stunning menu of small plates using hyper-seasonal local ingredients in a relaxed and fun environment. Built in old shipping containers, this unique dining experience should be at the top of your list to visit while in the North of England

Fresh back from @koks_restaurant and the Faroe Islands, my next stop on this restaurant rollercoaster was back in the North of England at the much lauded ⭐️⭐️ and current #1 on the @nationalrestaurantawards list, @restaurantmoorhall where @markbirchall and team cook a delicate, produce driven menu inspired by their exceptional natural surroundings in this stunningly refurbished 13th century Manor House.
