Nothing like a big session at Dorian. Needed a moment of silence for that buttermilk fried, crispy guinea fowl leg smothered in house made hot sauce. It was incredibly crisp and flavoursome. The hot sauce is magical. I order extra for dipping those crisps into. They come with the tartare and are so addictive. Steak, flame grilled and tender with a killer crust and luscious beef jus - tenderness can vary depending on what you order and what they have in - it’s difficult to control texture with these older cows but when it hits, it hits in a big way. Ordered all the rostis + a few wild creations that max made on the night - the uni with toro was the perfect amount of OTT, rich, buttery, earthy, wow. Favourite place! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Light lunch at @mountain.restaurant @tomos_pp @joseanbalotin 🔥
-
Went for the steak, stayed for grilled bread and sobrassada. Always a good time here. The raw sobrassada with honey is my favourite. Spicy, sweet and addictive. Usually on toasted sourdough but it wasn’t toasted today, prefer the toasted version for sure. The grilled bread with grilled sobrassada equally as delicious though, a nice combination. Those sharp peppers are what complete it. Dover sole was good. Meaty but tender, with a luscious buttery sauce across the top. Silky smooth. Tried one of their new plates which was the favourite of the table - the grilled ox tongue with violet artichoke was sensational. The double beef broth was rich and complex with a really nice mouth feel. Delicious, comforting and super unique flavour profile. Very good food as usual #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

Roasted bone marrow with spinach gnocchetti @bestiadtla 🔥🤤
-
What a dish from Bestia. This was the standout for me. A lovely pasta dish consisting of mini spinach gnocchi, tossed in a sauce made from butter and aged balsamic with smoked breadcrumbs and a perfectly roasted marrow bone across the top. The marrow is scooped out and tossed table-side creating a perfectly glossy and emulsified sauce coating each piece of gnocchi. The chew of the pasta was super satisfying. Lovely amount of balsamic to cut through all the richness - sweet and sharp. Everything you could want in a bite. Nice little spot for casual Italian #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

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 🙅🏽‍♂️
