Kobe beef jamón @lepetitbeefbar_london @the_beefboy 🔥
-
Light lunch at Beef Bar. Their Kobe beef jamón is nuts - ultra rich and decadent with a beautiful mosaic of marbling. It’s Japanese beef, cured in Spain and aged for 18 months in Leon. A journey that allows the flavours to mature and develop. With such a wide selection of beef on the menu it’s difficult to decide what to go for. I usually go heavier on the starters and follow with lighter mains. The bao buns, baby quesadillas and of course their famous croque Sando is a must. These are three starters they have perfected. The jasmine tea smoked veal in the bao buns is delicious - super soft and moreish. Lunch or dinner here isn’t complete without their fior di latte gelato - a velvety smooth textured gelato that hits much like Gaia’s frozen yogurt. Too good #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Those baby back ribs @rokarestaurant.uk 🔥
-
Hard to go wrong with the Robata at Roka. A quick, easy and consistent Japanese that I find myself coming back to quite alot mid week. The order is usually very simple. Loads from the Robata and plenty of nigiri along with the kampachi + iceberg lettuce salad. On the Robata, the beef skewers and chicken wings are the best imo. The beef is ultra thinly sliced and glazed - it develops the most amazing char and is usually still cooked to medium. Delicious. Baby back ribs are for the most part great - chunky, juicy, smokey.. everything you want in some ribs. Topped with plenty of spring onion, toasted cashews and lime. Had a couple of times they were dried out but usually v good! Anywhere that has a good grill and rice, I’m in #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Recently at @dorian.nottinghill @maxcoen_chef 🥩🔥🤤

Some incredible new dishes on the menu at Dorian. The deep fried duck leg dipped in hot sauce was outrageously good, ultra crispy on the outside and super tender in the centre. The flavour of their hot sauce is addictive, a sort of buffalo-esque tang and creaminess with fairly mild heat. Very good. Max sent out a bunch of new rostis. The beef tartare and uni Rosti was ridiculous, as was the caviar and oyster Rosti. Something about all these delicious ingredients sat on a crispy potato Rosti just works so well. The lobster tail French toast was a total hit - grilled and topped with clarified butter, black truffle, sat on relish, lettuce and toasted brioche. What a bite. Pistachio and caviar ice cream was interesting - a wild combination that took everyone by surprise but also kept them coming back for more. It’s dinners like this that keep Dorian in my list of favourites. Bravo chef! Knockouttt #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Arroz de Marisco @lisboeta.london @nunoviajante 🔥🇵🇹
-
A lovely lunch at Lisboeta. The menu here is really interesting. It showcases the very best of Portuguese cuisine, using a unique combination of ingredients to yield new types of flavour and depth. The carabinero prawn and cuttlefish rice was the star dish for me. Stunning red prawns, lightly cured and served with the most velvety smooth risotto-style sushi rice. A big focus on ‘wet’ rice over dry here, where Nuno is able to pack in layers upon layers of complexity from the stock through to toppings like their lardo. The confit duck rice was great too with shredded pieces of the confit duck leg scattered throughout the rice. Loved the grilled XL carabinero with sweet potato bread and homemade piri piri. For me the empanadas were a little dense and dry - I think they were crying out for a sauce of some kind, or even more fat in the meat mixture. Flavours were great but texturally I wasn’t sure! For dessert, the Maria biscuit cake with coffee and ice cream - sensational. Cleaned this one up with ease, beautifully presented too #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Grilled bread of dreams @mountain.restaurant @tomos_pp
-
A few of my favourite dishes from Mountain. That raw sobrassada with honey, is just amazing. Rich, spicy and with welcomed spice and sweetness - a magical combination of flavours. The pumpkin fritti was great. An ultra light and bubbly batter. Grilled bread, essential. Went for the Dover sole and wood-fired rice for main. Always good in here.. #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️ Less

The best tempura and udon in townnn @koyalondon 🤤
-
There’s few things quite as satisfying as the tempura and udon at Koya soho. The jumbo prawn tempura here is spectacular. They manage to create an ultra light, crispy and bubbly tempura batter that has a glass-like crunch. These things are fried till golden and the prawns are just so flavoursome and juicy. I like to sprinkle with sichimi, then throw all the condiments into the shirodashi, dip and eat. Delicious. The udon are freshly made each day too, ultra thick and bouncy with the most amazing chew. The texture is, for me, what makes these the best in London. Very similar to what you would find at a good udon place in Japan. Go here for some of the best hot and cold udon bowls around along with the most perfect tempura #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Bone-in Txuleta Ribeye @litamarylebone @lukeahearne 🔥🥩
-
What a dinner from the all new Lita in Marylebone. The focus here is on live-fire cooking, with a mix of incredible meat, fish and vegetables each having some sort of lick from the flame. The bone-in ribeye was incredible - perfectly cooked and served with a rich and complex beef jus that was still somehow quite light in consistency. The yellow fat caps were well rendered and melted into the jus beautifully. The star dish here for me has to be that tuna though.. just insane. I ordered three plates of it - @atunrojofuentes bluefin, corno peppers, corriander and capers - honestly incredible. It was so fresh with a real kick of balanced acidity and umami. I did a recipe last year with this tuna, it really is the best! Couldn’t get enough of the dressing. The duck ragout was another stand out - slow cooked and pulled duck leg, in a nicely reduced sauce and al dente strozapretti, topped with a mountain of parm. For wine went with a 2016 Clos Rougeard which was a great match for the beef. A solid new addition to the neighbourhood! #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 🙅🏽‍♂️

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 🙅🏽‍♂️

Sunday roast from @qualitychop 🔥🥩
-
A roast you can always count on. Aberdeen Angus rump and short rib, horseradish crème fraïche, beef fat roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasted honey vegetables, and the most amazing beef dripping gravy. Everything you need on one table. The confit potatoes here are phenomenal and it’s no surprise as these guys were one of the first to start serving them - super crispy layers of potato with a soft and fluffy centre. Their chicken liver and foie gras parfait with black truffle and toasted brioche was phenomenal. Probably one of the tastiest things you can start a meal with - incredibly smooth and creamy with a subtle sweetness hitting you at the end. For me though the absolute winner was that lemon curd tart. Go here and try it. It’s one of the best lemon tarts in town. That or their brown butter / honey tart.. #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
