Sweetbread, Mackerel, Groundnut & Kumquat
.
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.
