Dinner last month with Hayley Evans (and unexpectedly Matt Abé of Restaurant Gordon Ramsey) at Mãos in London. Gareth Ward and the team from Ynyshir in Wales came for two nights to cook their menu in the Mãos kitchen with the assistance of Nuno Mendez, Eduardo Pellicano and their team. The food was, as expected from Gareth, flawless, delicious and focused on flavour rather than elaborate and unnecessary presentation. Ynyshir if you remember is the restaurant that me and Gerhard Huber went for lunch but pleaded with them to let us stay for dinner to enjoy the menu all over again, so it’s safe to say that I am a fan of the cooking there.
Mãos is kind of a supper club, with just one communal table seating 16 people. The kitchen is open for you to wander around and chat to the chefs as they cook and also the wine room so it’s kind of like a dinner party at someone’s house (what, don’t your friends have a wine room???♂️). I have been once before and enjoyed it thoroughly. You don’t have to ask me twice to hang out in the kitchen drinking wine. As with any communal table it’s a bit hit and miss with who you end up dining with so I was glad to click straight away with the people next to me and opposite me on that visit.
The company during this visit was also great (Hayley ?) and it was a pleasant surprise to be sharing the table with Matt Abé, the head chef at Royal Hospital Road for the evening. Although slightly annoying to have your conversation with him interrupted every few minutes by a lady saying things like “Oh you’re a cook are you? I love to cook. Do you cook pies? I have a great recipe for steak & kidney pie. What’s your email? Ill send it to you.” (Matt had the patience of a saint).
I think putting Gareth’s team in to Mãos was great and gives them some more exposure in the capital, (not that he needs it really as Ynyshir is a tough reservation now) of course, as I’ve said the food was great but the vibe did feel a little weird at times. Just purely because Ynyshir has a lively vibrant atmosphere (they have a DJ now during some services) with an emphasis on “Fun dine not Fine dine” and that’s difficult to put across in someone else’s restaurant while also trying to collaborate with them during the service. And with a communal table, everyone is a bit more focused on having a dinner party rather than a restaurant experience I guess.
That’s no disservice to the Mãos team who were fantastic. I would and will go back to both restaurants again as soon as I can. Less

My next stop was to Stockholm, and to my favourite seat in my favourite restaurant on the planet, ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @restaurantfrantzen (equal 1st with @restaurantalchemist Copenhagen. 😘 @rasmusmunkalchemist ) It’s really like coming home when you visit Frantzén, the hospitality is that good. It feels like I’m eating at a friends house. @carl_frosterud was the perfect host as ever. I’ve dined solo here, brought big groups of global diners here, friends and my family and Carl always judges the service and hospitality perfectly. I truly think he’s the best in the business.
And of course the food is sublime. I was sorry to discover while talking to chef Marcus Jernmark that he’ll be heading to Beverly Hills soon to open up his own project. I mean I’m happy for him but I’ll miss his cooking in Stockholm although I am certain that with the incredibly solid team they have at Frantzén that they will only continue to operate at the top of their game.
As I said, along with Alchemist, this is my top recommendation in Europe. Can’t wait to go back in October with some of the UK’s finest chefs. Looking forward to it @cheftonyparkin @jeremychanikoyi @edoardopellicano @rabyhunt @theguseva @bigtime_makin_it_nice @cheflukefrench

Dinner a few weeks ago at StreetXO London. A restaurant that I had heard very mixed feedback about and even been warned to cancel my reservation by one London chef. But after my visit to DiverXO in Madrid I really wanted to explore more of Dabiz Muñoz’s culinary world. I am glad we went, it really was a fantastic meal packed with bold flavours. The desserts I felt were not really my cup of tea but the whole experience including some great cocktails to start was fantastic. So now I will be heading to StreetXO Madrid next month and of course I have to go back to DiverXO for the new menu. This is exciting food that makes you want to go back for more. Most restaurants you have a good idea of what to expect to come out of the kitchen but at these, it could be anything but it’s nearly always excellent.

Lunch a few weeks ago at ⭐️ The Square in London where chef Clement Leroy is clearly hitting his stride. Since Clement took over the reins from Yu Sugimoto prior to the restaurant’s reopening after refurbishment in 2017 I have only been once and that was to a meal in the private diningroom for 12 people with a full restaurant next door. Although it was a great meal, I don’t think it was a true representation of what Clement is doing at The Square, so to go for lunch by myself and experience the chef cooking his menu under different circumstances was the perfect way to see what they are all about.
I had been a couple of times when the kitchen was in the hands of Philip Howard, who by gaining and holding two Michelin stars for 20 years turned the restaurant in to a London institution. I would say that Clement is on track to repeat Howard’s success. Less

Thanks to @chefandyyang for a delicious meal tasting some of the best Pad Thai in Bangkok @eatpadthai Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu near the Khao San Road. Apart from the incredible food, Andy is also making a positive difference by only employing young men and women that were on the path to drug dealing and prostitution. He trains them and gives them a trade. Then if they become good enough he sends them to open up another of his restaurants. Highly recommended and you should also try Andy’s restaurant @table38bkk where he cooks modern interpretations of Thai street food dishes
