Incredible Thai food at @anajakthaifood 🔥🇹🇭
-
Had to make a stop at Anajak and try some of Justin’s cooking. The restaurant serves a delicious mix of Thai fried chicken, curries, seasonal fish and wok-fired dishes. The wine list here is extensive too, both traditional and vanguard wines. Head chef and owner Justin really creates some magic in that kitchen. The food was bright, fresh and very well seasoned. Each component carefully considered. Loved both the papaya salad and the cucumber and radish with crispy rice. These are must orders that’ll help to cut through the deeply spiced and layered elements of his larger plates. My favourites were definitely the pineapple glazed ribs, fried chicken and the mango sticky rice made by his mum. The ribs were charred, sticky and tender - sweet and moreish, nicely balanced flavour profile. Fried chicken, crispy and well seasoned with a sambal + sweet chilli on the side - the caviar that I ordered as an extra just took this up a few notches more. There’s so much tasty food on the menu it’s a good idea to try a few things from each section. Don’t sleep on their Chinese sausage fried rice - this was sensational. Sweet, super charred and plenty of wok-hei coming through. A solid spot with what must be one of the worlds best mango sticky rice.. #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Steak au Poivre @camphorla @maxouboon @chef_lijo 🔥
-
One of my favourites from this trip for sure. This Michelin-starred modern French bistro in DTLA’s Arts District serves up a number of elevated classic like this steak au poivre but so many other fresh and innovative plates too. Their French Onion Tartine was knockout - essentially the top part of a classic French onion soup - garlic rubbed, toasted sourdough, plenty of Gruyère and a generous amount of their reduced French onion jus. An amazing idea and deliciously rich bite. Their scallop Demi-lune pasta was my favourite of the night. A perfectly emulsified better blanc with individually wrapped pasta filled with the sweetest slices of scallop. Incredible balance and consistency in this one, highly recommend. The sirloin was perfectly soft and tender - I think this was the most tender sirloin I’ve ever had. The knife was gliding through each slice with ease and the shiny sauce coated every piece just enough. Spicy, creamy, beefy.. a dream. Roasted chicken - super interesting. They stuff the breast with a mousse made from the thighs and roast till crisp. Served with a deeply spiced tomato sauce. So comforting to eat. Top service and excellent food here. A lovely place to dine #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Bar Pie from @quartersheets 🍕🦜
-
Quarter Sheets was firmly on my list for places to try in LA. These guys have been making waves in the pizza scene, famous for their pan-style pizzas, bar pies, natural wines and desserts. I went for a big selection, tried a bit of everything. The pan-pizzas are ridiculously good. Ultra thick dough with a super crust edges and exterior. The centre though, fluffy, airy and light - almost spongey in texture with plenty of olive oil throughout. Super delicious. The toppings were yum - for me the plain red top and pepp were the best. Whilst I liked the pan-pizza, the bar pie was the winner for me. I did the cheese bar pie, with pepperoni, grana, red sauce and basil. This was super thin and crispy, almost flaky in texture and snappable, but not too thin at the same time. Layers of flavour to each bite. Super cheesy, rich and addictive. It’s a very good pizza, hits all the right notes. Some may find the dough a little too crisp but I loved it. Make sure to order the gem and chicory salad - perfect acidity to cut through it all. Annoyingly forgot to try their famous slab cake, but the ice cream combinations were great - rhubarb ripple is wild! Recommend a visit for sure #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Philly Cheesesteak from @matusteak 🥩😍
-
Was recommended this place by so many of you and it delivered on every level. Matū steakhouse in Beverly Hills serves up these insane cheesesteak sandwiches at lunch time only. The Matū Philly Cheesesteak is filled with 8 ounces of grass-fed Wagyu ribeye and sirloin, cooper’s sharp cheese, grilled onions and a roasted hot long pepper, all on a freshly baked sesame roll. The beef was perfectly caramelised, tender and well seasoned. The char is essential and they have it down here perfectly. The roll was soft but crusty, with a lovely specks of toasted sesame seeds all over. Peppers were hot and added a much needed spice and acidity to the roll. Unctuous and moreish with oozing sharp cheese. On the side, their Wagyu tallow fried chips. Definitely recommend #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Wagyu Carpaccio @sparrowitalia 🥩
-
A lovely plate of ultra thin wagyu fillet, topped with seasonal pickled mushrooms, pine nuts, umami aioli and black truffle. The beef was beautifully marbled with the pickled mushrooms cutting straight through its richness. This is a great Italian in Mayfair, first time I’ve actually eaten here. Go heavy on the starters, for me these were the best. The pane al tartufo was delicious. Grilled focaccia, truffle ricotta, truffle honey and fresh black truffle with a sprinkling of peperoncino. Truffle overload but balanced and satisfying. Will need to go back to explore more of the menu but so far so good #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Steak Frites and a viral cheesecake @lerelaisdevenise.london @lamaritxulondon 🔥🥩
-
The unbeatable combination of steak, frites and special sauce. Easily my most visited restaurant London. Been going here since 2012 and nothing has changed. The thinly sliced entrecôte, those ultra crispy golden fries and that luscious green sauce - magical. Just when you think you’re done, that second serving comes out and it’s even better than the first. It’s hard to go wrong here. Apart from the queue if you mis-time it, there are very few flaws in my eyes. Great house red, quick and efficient service, no faffing. Went straight to the cheesecake place after to see what the hype is about - £4.50 slices of basque cheesecake that are interestingly chilled. Cheap, delicious and very well made. It’s excellent cheesecake. Worth queuing for? Maybe. For me it was the creamy texture and cold temperature that set it apart from other places serving this. Loved the chill! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Decisions Decisions.. @45parklane @elliottgrover @wolfgangpuck 🥩🔥

One of my favourite steakhouses in London. The selection of beef here is second to none, with a range of UK, US, Australian and Japanese varieties on the menu to name a few. Consistency for me is key and that’s exactly what you’ll get at CUT. The menu features all the classic steakhouse sides and sauces you want and need. The difference is that the dishes are beautifully balanced and intricate. It’s also a much quieter, more formal steakhouse to many of the places I find myself going to at the moment. The Australian strip really stuck out to me today - a thick, well marbled and deeply coloured beauty. It arrived perfectly medium rare with a lovely crust all over. Not pre-sliced, as you find more often than not these days. The sauce to order is their classic steak sauce - a sort of beef demi that’s rich, glossy and moreish. It coats your mouth in beefy umami and is such a delicious sauce for dipping all your sides into. Other must orders are their tuna tartare cones and their mini Wagyu sliders. Just delicious. As always, great service and food to match! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Sole Meunière @lamaisonanilondon @chefizu @evgenykuzindxb 🔥😍

The all new French-Mediterranean from Dubai has landed in London. It’s from the same team behind Gaia, so you can expect a similar quality of service, decor and food. As well as having a number of quintessentially French plates on the menu, they have a range of pan-Mediterranean dishes in there too with various pizzas, pastas and Chef Izu specials. If you’re dining here, there are a few must orders. The warm prawns were delicious, as were the garlic and parsley butter escargot. The Izu burger may seem out of place on this menu but once you try it, you’ll be glad it’s there. A sensational Wagyu smash that is sweet, savoury and addictive. The restaurant is like LPM in many ways, but with a few welcomed Izu additions to the menu. Still a few things to iron out but a lot of great dishes on the menu and a lovely dining room. A solid addition to Knightsbridge! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Lunch at @devonshiresoho 🥩
-
Nothing quite like sitting in the grill room of The Devonshire where you can watch roaring grill in full swing. A great selection of beef that’s dry-aged in house and cooked over Woodfire. The bone in ribeye had a lovely crust. Could have been rested a tad more but it was still flavoursome and tender. Fries and beef jus were as good as always, as were those langoustines. Sweet, smokey and delicate. An excellent pub for lunch or dinner. It can get a little hot in this room if you’re close to the grill so choose wisely #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
