Another visit back in November 22 to @leclownbar in Paris where I have to go now every time I’m in the city due to an addiction that I’ve developed to the incredible veal brain dish. Joint first on my annual best dishes list last year (joint with another veal brain dish 🤷🏼♂️). Anyone who asks me where to eat in Paris I always send them here for this plate 👌. It’s just sublime.

My second visit, 5 years after my first, to ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alléno in Paris. Certainly my priciest meal of last year as I decided to splash on the wines 🙄. But definitely worth while, exceptional food with dishes that were a lot more playful and interesting than I was expecting. Highly recommended

Another stupendous meal back in November ‘21 at what has to be my favourite Parisian restaurant, ⭐️⭐️ @david_toutain . It was fun also accidentally stalking Rasmus Munk for a couple of days. He was at Arpege same day as me and then I walked into DT and there was Rasmus, Mikkel Steen Andersen & Lykke sitting across the dining room. I’m just very pleased that I have the same taste in restaurants as Rasmus ☺️

“Dinner in November last year at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Arpège……why did I feel like I had just had my pants pulled down? 😡
To give a little context for the uninitiated, this is a world famous three star restaurant where the menu pictured costs €440 before you even think about ordering a glass of water. The standard of cooking, ingredients and service certainly did not come anywhere close to being deserved of the accolades listed below.”

Dinner in rural Somerset at farm to fork restaurant @osiprestaurant a while ago. Much like Wild Shropshire, Osip focuses on cooking day to day using the best of what is delivered to their door that morning by the many local suppliers and foragers as well as what they are cultivating themselves on their two plots of land nearby. Chef and excellently named Merlin Labron-Johnson @merlin_johnson cooks a delicious 9 course menu that really focuses on each product without unnecessary distractions. Worth checking out if you are in the area.

“Terroir led, micro seasonal, British food” at @jameswildshropshire Wild Shropshire in Whitchurch back in November last year.
There is no menu at Wild Shropshire, James Sherwin cooks a surprise 10-12 course sequence of dishes based on what is in season at that moment and within a stones throw of his front door, using local artisan producers. Very much in the same vein as Ernst in that the radishes are from Mary two doors down, the Sheep from Pete two fields across etc. At £65 for the entire menu it’s incredibly good value and I felt very lucky indeed to bag one of the few tables available as it’s a very small joint and only open two days a week for dinner. Although I believe they have a shorter Saturday lunch menu for just £45 under the guise of Rask. Anyway, it’s certainly worth seeking out. (Prices and opening hours may have changed since my visit)

I’ll be honest, I’m feeling pretty pleased about this one. As I was sitting enjoying this fabulous meal at fairly new (when I visited last late 2021) @restaurantpine ,near Newcastle, back in November, I fired off a couple of messages to a couple of restaurant critics. I think that was the first time that I’ve done that as I imagine if you are @marinagpoloughlin or Grace Dent then you get every Trip Advisor restaurant ‘expert’ going sending you recommendations for the greatest meal they’ve ever had. “Chuckies’ chicken in Brockhurst is THE next Fat Duck”.
But I figured that as Pine was very new and not in London, that maybe it wasn’t on their foodie radar. It turned out it wasn’t, and Marina of the Sunday Times headed up there and loved it. A stellar review was published a couple of weeks later and she even gave me a little props on her Instagram. My work here is done. Unfortunately due to that review, I’ll never be able to get a seat at Pine again as I’m sure they will be fully booked for ever and ever. I am happy for them though. It’s nice when you can send someone to a restaurant that you really like and recommend, even nicer if, albeit indirectly, you can send a few hundred.

Dinner at Manchester’s only Michelin starred restaurant, @restaurant.mana ,back in November 2021. Chef proprietor @simon.martin.mana Simon Martin’s own words “With an insatiable thirst for knowledge, cooking at mana is highly technical and precise, but only where required, and always committed to the source. The result is recognisable and respectful, with produce enhanced by our intervention. Fermentation and fire are the widest pillars of our kitchen. Flavours are bold, whilst textures are delicate.”
I really enjoyed the meal and could see him one day getting a second star as I’m sure he is gunning for. I think he plans to upgrade the restaurant sometime soon and really push for the second star. I’ll be back soon I hope.
