Popped in to try the new-ishh omakase that took over from Taku earlier this year. A strong new direction with a few slightly more playful courses mixed in amongst the sushi.
Started with some refined small bites before moving into the cooked courses, and one of my favourites early on was the abalone chawanmushi with summer truffle. Super silky, really deep flavour from the abalone and the truffle seeped beautifully into the egg.
The grilled red mullet with sea salt was another standout. Really simple, perfectly cooked and one of those dishes where there’s basically nowhere to hide. Charred crispy skin and tender fish with some yuzu sake on the side.
Nigiri was strong throughout, but the scallop was probably my favourite piece of the night. Really delicate, buttery and well balanced with the sweet soy on top.
Then the most memorable course of the entire menu: the foie gras ice cream sando with caramel, dark chocolate and sea salt. Sounds like a mad combination, but the balance was immaculate. Rich, sweet, salty, slightly bitter from the chocolate. A very clever middle course before continuing through the journey.
Finished with tamago and Eton mess to close out the 20 courses. Really enjoyed this one. Top ingredients, great pacing and enough interesting dishes in there to make it feel a little different. Less

Dropped in here for dinner the other day and one look at that menu was enough to go full @boshgram_ on the order

Seafood is definitely the focus at Long Teng, with a huge fresh selection to choose from, but the menu is massive and there’s plenty beyond that too. Execution across the board was seriously good.
The sweet & sour whole hamour came out almost fluorescent in colour, super crispy and properly addictive, with each piece flaking off perfectly. The soy & ginger steamed grouper was another beauty, ultra tender and aromatic, and one of my favourites of the night. Loved the king crab with crispy garlic, soy green chillies and crispy king oyster mushrooms too.
But that cheung fun was probably the standout of the dim sum, genuinely incredible. Crunchy all the way through, loads of texture and just ridiculously satisfying to eat.
The craziest part of this place though is the upper levels, floors and floors of private dining rooms built for big groups. Some of them are huge, with the biggest seating around 30 people around a giant lazy Susan. It’s BYOB too.
Great team, huge menu and some seriously good food Less

Lahmacun is one of my favourite things to eat, especially when it’s made like this. Hand chopped beef, lamb and vegetables with plenty of herbs and spices - spread onto the dough by hand before being baked in the wood oven. Ultra thin, perfectly crispy, and so well balanced when rolled up with onions, parsley, lemon and sumac. I pretty much eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner whenever I’m in Türkiye.
D Maris Kitchen is always excellent. Less

The most stunning restaurant, nestled right into the Mallorcan countryside. The menu here is simple but really carefully put together, built around the grill and the best seasonal produce.
The grilled XL langoustine was unbelievably good. Cooked over wood fire, seasoned with coarse salt and finished with a homestyle pil pil, it was probably the best single langoustine I’ve had. So tender and sweet, with this really buttery flavour.
The red tuna belly with local garden tomatoes was lovely too. The olive oil and tomato water made this beautiful natural dressing for the fatty tuna and kept the whole thing feeling fresh.
The Galician ox tartare was intense and mature in flavour, cut straight from the ribeye and seasoned just enough to let the beef do the talking. No unnecessary sauces or anything overpowering, just incredible raw beef with crackers.
Also loved the scorpionfish with garlic. perfectly cooked with the smoke really getting into the flesh.
For the steak, i had to get both the Asturian mountain cow, Casina, and the Galician ox. Both were really tasty, but the buey had a more robust, slightly sweeter flavour and was much more tender. The fat was honestly edible on its own and absolutely packed with umami. The peppers and garlic fries on the side were perfect with it. Squishy fries with crispy ends.. the dream.
Finished with seasonal strawberries and smoked milk ice cream, which did the trick nicely.
A really special restaurant built around great ingredients, fire and refined technique. Highly recommend! Less

Always a good time here, especially when the sun is out and flooding the dining room with light. The menu evolves daily with the seasons, but there were a few standout dishes on this visit.
The wood-fired courgette pizzetta was beautifully executed. Ultra-thin, crisp and topped with young pecorino fresco and Roman zucchini. Fresh, salty and completely addictive. The wood oven langoustines with garlic and parsley were delicate and sweet, but it was the new-season Italian asparagus with Parmesan fonduta that stole the show. Tender, earthy and perfectly matched with that rich cheese sauce.
For primi, there wasn’t a weak dish on the table. The mezze maniche with zucchini and mint was excellent, as was the fettuccine with spring peas and guanciale. The salty, peppery richness of the cured pork worked brilliantly with the sweetness of the peas. The clam risotto was another highlight and one I’ll definitely be attempting at home.
For secondi, the veal cutlet with sage and capers was my favourite. A deeply flavourful crust, incredibly tender veal and just enough sage coming through to lift the whole dish.
Dessert is always excellent here. Chocolate Nemesis and lemon tart remain the classics, but the rotating seasonal gelati are equally worth ordering. One of my favourite places to spend a summer afternoon in London 🦅 Less
