Another excellent meal earlier this year at @ikoyi_london ,with excellent company @gastro1 .It’s been nearly 6 years since my first visit to Ikoyi where we terrorised @jeremychanikoyi by turning up with the likes of Gerhard Huber, Margaret Lam , Robert Driscoll and a host of other foodies to enjoy what was a superb lunch during the @oadtop100 week back then. It’s been fantastic to watch the restaurant evolve over those few years and to be rightfully awarded a second Michelin star this year (22’) I’m glad that Michelin are finally starting to recognise delicious food (Ikoyi, Ynyshir, Pine etc) rather than seemingly fixating on white table clothes, snooty soms and whether or not the table was de-crumbed before your pudding.
Jeremy and the team have now moved to a larger site where I’m sure they will be able to truly express themselves without the restrictions of such a small dining room and kitchen. To get two stars out of that tiny kitchen was truly amazing.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Dinner at Launceston Place Restaurant at Launceston Place
Dinner a while back at the excellent @launcestonplace Launceston Place, where chef Ben Murphy @benmurphychef is producing some very tasty food indeed. Highly recommended and a very good option for a Sunday evening when a lot of restaurants are closed.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Dinner at The Araki - あら輝 at Araki
Another visit earlier this year (‘22) to @the_araki_london . Why this restaurant hasn’t had at the absolute minimum one Michelin star reinstated I really have no idea. For me it’s one of the best sushi restaurants in London.

Another example of someone throwing off the shackles of the Michelin starred dining room to offer a more casual “rustic & convivial” atmosphere is Mathieu Germond, formerly co-owner, manager & incredible sommelier at London stalwart Pied à Terre.
Noizé (named of a tiny village in the Loire where Mathieu’s grandparents ran a farm) is right up my street and ticks all the boxes for me. A solid team of cooks are behind the stoves cooking seasonal dishes with bold combinations served in a straightforward but elegant style.
It says a lot that every other table that walked in while I was there was obviously a regular customer. I could tell straight away from the greetings they received from Mathieu. To be honest, even on my first visit, after an hour I had relaxed into my seat and felt like a regular as well, such is the service.
Picking dishes from the black boards I was able to create my own little tasting menu. I wanted to try as much as possible so they offered to do smaller portions for me. Mathieu took care of the wine choices of course and I was sad to leave. A really special place where it is obvious why they have a regular clientele. Can’t wait to go back.

My next stop back was a quick trip to Southern Italy to revisit Kresios near Naples which has now, well deservedly, been awarded a second Michelin star since my last visit. The food which is playful in nature but ultimately delicious, was still great. My only little niggle was that I had the same identical menu 8 months earlier. I would have liked to see at least a couple of new dishes. But like I said, it’s very very good and certainly worth seeking out.
