Lamb hotpot @devonshiresoho @mcmoop @ashleypalmerwatts 🚀🫡
-
One pub, four stories and three dining rooms. The new kid on the block delivered on all fronts. It’s pub food done correctly. The majority of main plates here are centred around their Woodfire grill on the first floor - I’d try and reserve in here if you want to catch the grill action. All three dining rooms share the same menu though. In terms of the food, you’ll find no over-engineering or complicating here - it’s a menu of classics that are well executed. Food you want to eat in a pub that actually hits the mark on flavour. All of the baking and dry-ageing is done in house with a big butchery in the basement. My favourites of the night were the Iberico pork ribs and the bone-in ribeye. The bite sized ribs were so good I ordered three more portions - charred, sticky and beautifully soft. Falling off the bone with nicely rendered fat and a sweet glaze. The 850g ribeye arrived with a lovely crust and perfect medium rare temp. The beef was buttery soft. Good marbling and funky, beefy flavour. Green sauce was the winner for me. Brawn toast didn’t love, not quite my taste but nicely put together. Lamb hotpot, yum. A lovely stewed lamb filling with carrots, onions and nice lamb jus with crispy scalloped potatoes on the top. Sticky toffee for dessert is essential - top tier. Place is heaving, good vibes will be back for sure - a lot more to try #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

A few bits from Beijing with @waldorf_astoria_beijing #WaldorfAstoriaPartner 🇨🇳🥟
-
Another great stay with @waldorfastoria in Beijing. There are two sides to this hotel, the modern building and the Hutong Courtyard, which is connected via an underground passage. Super traditional Ming-Dynasty style decor and incredible features - it feels like you’re in a movie set - a really unique property. Had lunch on the first day at Brasserie 1893 with @chefmandelaz who has just taken over the restaurant. His yellowtail crudo with apple and dill oil was phenomenal. Will post some more bits from dinner at their Michelin-starred Chinese Zijin Mansion too. Incredible Cantonese cuisine with modern flair #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Grilled brill @leos.london @pep_belvedere 😍
-
A very delicious dinner at Leo’s. This local charmer on Chatsworth road is worth a visit. It’s a retro-styled Italian diner and @pep_belvedere really knows what he’s doing. I had one of the most amazing dishes here which I’ll save for a separate post - probably one of the tastiest plates I’ve had so far in 2024. Other than that, I had their white lasagne, tagliolini with porcini butter and black truffle and the grilled brill. All three were beautifully prepared. The white lasagne was creamy and al dente with a rich layers of tender pork ragu and spinach throughout. A perfectly caramelised, crispy top. Delectable. The egg yolk tagliolini, made in house with the most vibrant colour and firm texture. Fragrant and tasty. The brill was tender and sweet, with a viscous and tart lemon butter sauce - v good. A super casual and pleasant atmosphere with great service and knowledgable staff! If only there were more spots like this! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Peking duck @royalchinaclub 🔥🦆
-
Delicious duck at Royal China Club. Golden, lacquered, crispy skin that glistens as it arrives. Carved table-side and served with all the usual condiments. Ultra thin homemade pancakes, sliced cucumber, spring onions and hoisin. For me Peking duck is maybe the ultimate bite. Everything you want in one mouthful. Tender, well seasoned duck meat, crispy skin that has a little rendered duck fat on the inside, cooling crunchy cucumbers and a complex, spiced, sweet hoisin. The soft pancakes are the perfect vehicle for all this goodness. There are some strong contenders in London for Peking duck, interested to know which are everyone’s favourites! I’ll share mine if you share yours! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Sight for sore eyes @zumalondonofficial 🔥❤️
-
The best tartare duo - salmon and toro, served with crispy rice crackers, spring onion and caviar. Second slide is my favourite Zuma dish though - their A5 wagyu gunkan is wild! An incredible bite. Seasoned sushi rice wrapped in crunchy daikon, topped with chopped wagyu tartare and a slice of black truff. The ultra marbled beef just melts as you eat it and the rice is perfectly seasoned. So good #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Breakfast in Shanghai @waldorfastoriashanghai 😍🇨🇳 #WaldorfAstoriaPartner
-
An amazing few days at @waldorfastoria in Shanghai. The very first Waldorf Astoria property in China, located right on the Bund. A stunning property, with a luxurious old-style Shanghai design and perfect location. Beautiful rooms, solid breakfast and top service throughout. The Shanghai skyline and neon lit buildings look insane at night from the rooms. The hotel has plenty of choice in terms of dining too. From the Michelin-starred Cantonese Ling-Long and Wai King Kok, to their famous Oyster Bar and Grand Brasserie. See previous post for the dinner at Wai King Kok - insane! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Notorious rostiiiiii @dorian.nottinghill @maxcoen_chef 🔥🥩
-
One of my favourite bites in London without a doubt. The beef tartare and caviar rosti at Dorian is just too good. When I first tried the sensational beef tartare here, I knew it had to be combined with Max’s signature rostis and some caviar. One week later and that’s exactly what went down. A golden morsel of crispy potato and the most unctuous, well balanced raw beefy topping. Congrats to Max and the team on achieving their first Michelin star! Really well deserved. My favourite bistro! Just look at all the plates here. Carefully put together plates using the freshest produce .. ufffff #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Koobideh @colbeh_london 🔥
-
Back to basics. One of my favourites for Iranian food. The koobideh and jujeh here are always so good. Both grilled over charcoal till charred and smokey. The koobideh is super juicy and flavoursome - fatty minced lamb thats well seasoned and perfectly cooked. So satisfying with the rice. Chicken is great too but the winner for me is their chenjeh when it’s done right. Lamb tenderloin cooked the same way - well cooked and charred - ultra smokey and soft. Green chilli sauce on the side is essential #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
