My first meal on the French leg of a tour I organised last year was at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Troisgros. The plan was to drive from here to Lech over a couple of weeks, pinballing between amazing restaurants and amazing people along the way. Troisgros has been on my bucket list for ages, so I was glad to be able to slot it into the schedule. From humble beginnings in 1930 in Roanne, this restaurant has had generations of the Troisgros family behind the stoves and now the restaurant exists in a beautiful farm house just 8km from it’s original location. I believe that they have held three Michelin stars since 1968 which is an incredible achievement.
The dining room is magnificent, and designed in such a way as to give the impression that you are sitting in the surrounding gardens and woods. The food was good, starting very strong and also ending with a truly fantastic dessert, and you can definitely see the influences from the younger generation of the Troisgros family’s travels around the world before settling here. I’m glad I went, and also glad I stayed in their beautiful rooms.

A final meal for me last March at ⭐️ Mãos @bluemountainschool in London before it sadly closed it’s doors (now reopened as the excellent Cycene). A truly unique restaurant in London and probably my favourite, or at least one of them. I have fond memories of meals here back when @nunoviajante Nuno Mendes was rattling the pans, of collaborations with Gareth Ward and the @ynyshirrestaurant team and of course with the hugely talented @edoardopellicano . I’m excited to see what Edoardo will bring to the Singapore dining scene this year and wish him and the team my best wishes. I’ll be jumping on a plane to dine at his new venture as soon as it opens.

Proper cooking, epic facial hair, even epic-er (yes that’s a word) aprons at the counter of Marzapane in Rome last year. Very highly recommended then. However, I know that that particular kitchen team have moved on and I have heard less favourable comments more recently.

Dinner back in March ‘22 at newly Michelin starred Sollip, near London Bridge station. This was my second visit, and while still very good, I couldn’t help thinking that they should consider dialling up the Korean a bit more. They say that the basis of the restaurant’s cuisine stems from European and French training, their time spent in London and the “Korean techniques and ingredients that have shaped their upbringing”.
For me, the most memorable dishes were the strongly Korean influenced ones, the beef tartare, the gamtae sandwich and the hongsam garnish with the lamb. A classical French dish like the fish of the day with sauce Grenobloise, while being perfectly nice, sits very much at odds with the Korean influences present in some of the other dishes. I think they should find a direction and boldly follow that direction, and that direction should be banging, punchy Michelin star refined Korean food. There…. I’ve invented a new genre.
I think they could be a Korean Ikoyi, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, don’t listen to what I’ve got to say, what they are doing had just got them a Michelin star and Harden’s best newcomer award. So clearly they should stick to their current formula rather than take any notice of the ramblings of this idiot.
You should certainly check them out next time you’re in that London.

Lunch at ⭐️⭐️ Ynyshir in Wales. As if anyone needed reminding that Gareth Ward has one of the biggest hearts 💜 in the industry, me and Hayley arrived at Ynyshir the day before this meal in time for our original dinner reservation. We were both feeling mildly unwell in the morning, but had put it down to too much booze the day before. It clearly became apparent that this wasn’t the case when upon our arrival mid-afternoon at Ynyshir, I practically barged past a welcoming Amelia, and with a grimaced “hiya”, duly launched myself into their reception loo to spend some up close and personal time with the porcelain. Thankfully that was the worst of it and as it was only 2pm at that point, we hoped and prayed that a couple of hours Kip and a refreshing shower in their incredible rooms would sort us out for dinner.
Ynyshir is not the kind of place that you want to turn up to and then not be able to eat. It’s out of the way and increasingly difficult to book due to it’s excellence. Plus, the food’s fucking tasty 🤷🏼
We both turned up for dinner with gritted determination. Gareth knows us both pretty well by now, so when the first dish of ‘Not French Onion Soup’ went back only half eaten he instantly texted Hayley from the kitchen (first dishes are served in the bar) asking “are you ok 💜?” Hayley replied honestly that we were both feeling a bit better and didn’t want to turn up and not eat.
Next thing, Lewis came to our table, “Please come out to reception, Gaz would like a word”.
Long story short (or maybe not that short), Gaz sent us both to bed without any tea 😬
He basically told us that we must stay the night and he would cook for us the next day if we were feeling better. Or we could reschedule. Of course no chef wants to cook for guests who aren’t really enjoying the experience and we as diners don’t particularly want to sit through a meal feeling like shit, but there are some restaurants and relationships that are very special and you want to try. Anyway, next day we were maybe not 100% but certainly 90% and able to smash through Ynyshir’s 32 servings, and actually enjoy them

Dinner before Christmas at the UK’s newest three Michelin star restaurant, @lenclume , up in Cartmel. I think that in all honesty L’enclume is now the only three star restaurant in the UK that I am eager to return to. Also, apart from the interesting and delicious food, the service was incredibly slick. Some of the best service I can remember having.
I also visited Aulis in London that week and it was interesting chatting to them about just how @rogan_simon Simon Rogan has built a small empire and managed to keep it going, even thriving through such difficult times. Basically I think that the slickness and attention to detail that I observed last week at L’enclume is mirrored in the way the business is run as a whole. Anyway, ramble over, highly recommended 👌🏻
