Lots of fun in the kitchen for this very special pop-up. The most incredible pies and a sensational Wagyu beef wellington is on the menu at CUT for just one week. There really is no one better at pies than Callum - he’s mastered the craft of pie making and somehow creates these intricate beauties with ease. They almost look too good to eat. It was great getting in there with the guys yesterday but even better tasting right off the pass. The Australian wagyu beef wellington was sublime. A perfectly blushing pink centre and a golden, buttery puff pastry encasing the beef. Lots of depth to the duxelles too - deep, punchy, earthy flavours in there. Served with luscious red wine jus. The dauphinoise potato and yoredale cheddar pie was stunning too. A tower of creamy, cheesy potatoes tucked under that golden dome of pastry. It’s dishes like this you won’t find anywhere else. There are also lobster, lamb and chicken pies on the menu for the week. Elliot, Callum and Wolfgang’s specials’ are not to be missed! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️

One of London’s best kaiseki restaurants. 10 seats and 22 impeccable courses. The team here is led by two very accomplished chefs, Yasuhiro Ochiai and Taiji Maruyama. Yasuhiro, previously head chef at 2 Michelin starred Tsukumo in Nara Japan now takes the lead at Maru and he’s incredibly skilled at what he does. The offering is a sort of hybrid kaiseki / omakase, with a farm-to-table approach that focuses on serving ingredients at the peak of their season. Lots of intricate small plates in and amongst the nigiri which creates a nice flow for the dinner. Nothing quite like watching the team craft and prepare each course in front of you. Some of my favourites included their homemade cold soba with truffle - chewy, light, fragrant and packed with umami. The ice bath aged squid with oscietra caviar was lovely too - a super unique texture to their squid which is so creamy compared to typical ika I’ve had before. Loved the 10-day dry-aged otoro - this was sliced and placed on a 45 degree Himalayan salt slab to very gently season and render the fat. An unbelievable texture to the otoro after hitting that stone for just a few seconds. Their Hasun is the main kaiseki basket, which comes with 5 small plates. The sweetcorn and peach palette cleanser from this was crazy. A super interesting pairing of ingredients - sweet, savoury and fresh with ultra ripe peach. To be honest it’s crazy to me that Maru doesn’t have a star yet - the attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant, from the ambiance, serveware, drinks, food and post-dinner treats is so meticulous. It’s only a matter of time for these guys. Go before they get that 🌟! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️

Sunday sessions at The George. It’s a proper pub but with lots of good food too. Welsh rarebit croquettes, Thai red curry pork crackling, black pudding scotch eggs, fish and chips + a few Sunday roast options with all the trimmings. The beer battered haddock and chips was beautiful. An impressive piece of ultra golden and crispy haddock sat upon a mound of fluffy chips. Perfectly cooked and served with mushy peas and a homemade tartare sauce. The batter maintained its crisp even after a dousing of vinegar. Rarebit croquettes are a must, get them - super crispy and moreish with a sharp and punchy Worcestershire sauce on top. The Sunday roasts here are pretty good too tbh. It’s either beef rump, roast chicken or lamb shoulder to share. Solid roast potatoes. Crispy, fluffy and well seasoned. Ordered a side of bone marrow gravy to cover everything in which was lovely. I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s my favourite Sunday roast but very enjoyable nonetheless #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️

Hadn’t been here for a while! It’s a restaurant that fuses together Japanese and French cuisine with seasonal ingredients, flavours and techniques from both. Run by Cyril Lignac, a master pastry chef from France who is so skilled at what he does. Precise execution of dishes here and a lovely list of desserts too. The langoustine ravioli is one of my favourite mains - al dente parcels of egg yolk pasta filled with naturally sweet, chopped langoustines and served in a langoustines bisque. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, salty and creamy - loads of depth in the bite. Couldn’t get enough of it! The truffled wagyu katsu sando is one that’s difficult to resist. Cut in to three slices and gone in three bites. Buttery soft A4, a crispy panko coating and a hint of black truffle on the inside of the toasted brioche. It melted in the mouth - very rich, but very good. Their signature avocado and crab galette is a dream - almost like a tostada. Fresh, acidic, and nicely dressed with a crispy shell underneath - it really cuts through all of their rich dishes. Thee seared chutoro with white ponzu is also nice and sharp. If you skip the Sando, a good option is the filet of beef with sushi rice on the side - it’s a combination that’s hard to beat tbh - seasoned sushi rice and with perfectly tender and medium rare beef. For dessert, get the mille feuille. It’s phenomenal. Three pieces of super buttery, ultra crumbly puff pastry. Two layers of vanilla bean crème pâtissière and a drizzling of caramelised pecan praline. Nothing more satisfying than cracking through this thing it’s sensational #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️

There are very few restaurants as charming as this one. Located on the outskirts of Nice is La Chamuière. A restaurant with a focus on utilising the best seasonal produce, speciality meat and the Woodfire grill. It’s a fairly intimate spot that’s dimly lit, with a big butchers block at the centre of the dining room. I only really go here during summer but it’s such a nice vibe for dinner. The grill master has been grilling meat here for over 20 years and his ability to perfectly cook so many things at once is impressive. I went for their famous duck, as well as the A5 Kagoshima rib cap - couldn’t resist the wag, it looked too beautiful. The duck was insane. Edge to edge pink with the most beautiful crust. Perfectly rendered, tender and smokey. It’s wild how he cooks it. Directly over the fire for parts, and then off to the back for lower temp cooking with one final blast at the end. Served with woodfired potatoes and the best local cream. The starters here are as good as the meat. That focaccia with heirloom tomatoes, truffles and prosciutto is just unreal - one of the most amazing bites. Excellent black summer truffles this season - super fragrant and with lots of flavour. They really added some oomph to the baked Camembert and focaccia. There’s a lot I could talk about here.. but just go and eat at this place when you can. It’s good #notoriousfoodie

Dinner in the grill room @thehero_w9 🔥🥩

A stunning space. Set on the first floor of The Hero in Maida Vale is their newly opened Grill Room. Ultra high ceilings, dim lighting and a warm, cozy mood all made for a really pleasant meal. The focus is of course on the grill here, with all the usual suspects on the menu + some creative new dishes. For starters you need to order the raw beef hash brown. One of my favourites from the evening - crispy potato hash brown, chunky beef tartare - exploding with flavour. Tender beef, tastefully dressed and just a really solid bite. This was too good and it went fast. The clams were incredible too. Highly recommend - smokey notes in a sauce that was so well emulsified. It really coated the mouth and had such an addictive, oceany, umami packed taste to it. I spooned up the sauce once the bowl was done - a delicious plate of clams!Langoustines were good but nothing notable, prefer the ones at the Devonshire tbh - similar style but elevated with that special sauce. Beef was knockout - a 1.3kg bone-in ribeye. Beautifully marbled, and the perfect temp on that thing. The crust, the texture and an ultra beefy dry-aged flavour. The beef reduction surrounding the steak was rich and addictive. I love a steak with beef jus on the side for dipping and dragging. The chilled Chateau Cambon Beaujolais was tremendous with this! Brown butter brill, cooked beyond perfect, just lacked any flavour. The sauce didn’t do too much but damn was that thing soft. Pork T-bone also didn’t quite do it for me but I’m not a huge pork lover, so don’t go off my comment. All in all, a great place for dinner. That dining room has such charm and there are some great bits on their menu #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️

Back in France and made a quick stop at African Queen for dinner. It’s a nice vibe here in the evenings with plenty on the menu. Some good, some great with a few standouts. Their warm prawns are delicious, as is their truffle pizza which is one of the best in town. For me though it’s that foie gras with brioche and fig jam that is one of their stand outs. The foie is so rich and creamy. It spreads with ease over the brioche and the sweet fig jam just complements the umami so perfectly. For main course, it’s the Maison Perrin Niçois ravioli - hearty beef-filled parcels of bite-sized pasta, tossed in a glossy beef reduction. It’s intense and comforting to eat - a really enjoyable dish that has a super meaty punch. The vongole on this visit wasn’t quite there though, a little bland and very overcooked spaghetti. The farm chicken on the other hand, delicious. Nicely roasted and carved table-side, served with a truffle jus on the side. This place has been around for so many years, it’s good to see it with new life and energy! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️

An amazing few days at my favourite hotel. Nothing like chilling on the deck here from morning through to evening. A few lahmacun, some pide and their unbelievable watermelon juice is all you really need to get through the day. The hotel is sort of tucked into the hillside, so when you look from afar, you don’t really see any rooms, just the lower deck and beautiful green and pink flora. It’s a very cool space that makes you feel like you’re right at home from the moment you walk in. Great food and a buzzing yet relaxed atmosphere day to night is what makes this place so special. It’s kept me coming back for years. They have a few days of the week here where they serve specials during lunch service. Saturday is my personal fave, with huge homemade döner rotating on the spit - it’s nuts. Perfectly charred and thinly sliced, piled up high. The Manti is excellent too. The best! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️

Their doors are finally open in Mayfair. The team that brought you 2-Michelin starred Gymkhana have been working hard on their new concept and it’s now up and running in full swing. A slightly more casual affair but no less impressive than Gymkhana, Ambassadors Clubhouse celebrates the dynamic cuisine of the Punjab region. There are a number of small plates, chaat and papads to start. For main course, a lovely variety of dishes on the grill with three different options of either tandoor (clay oven), Sigri (charcoal grilled) or Tawa (flat-top). Lots of the classic kebabs and spiced, roasted meats in this section. My favourites were those sensational grilled butter chicken wings in makhani sauce along with the Ajwaini prawns and lamb nalli. In between all of this goodness you’ll find the matka, karahi and biryani. It’s really a menu that hits all avenues of Punjabi cuisine and there’s a lot to try, so go hungry. The matka beliram lamb curry is the must order dish from the curries - ultra soft baby lamb that was so tender, covered in a deeply spiced tomato based gravy. Those who know will order a Tusker as soon as they see it on the menu. If you’re going for a lager, this is the only thing you should be ordering! A cool vibe downstairs for late night Indian funk! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️

Back at my favourite place. Nothing quite like starting the day here and sitting out on the deck till the early evening. It’s a place I visit every year and it’s become an essential part of my summer. Café Med is their new lunchtime offering, serving up a lovely Mediterranean-Turkish menu throughout the afternoon. Plenty of the freshest seafood like vongole and lobster to their irresistible Lahmacun and pide. Courgette fritti and dondurma ice cream wafers here are a must. Macakizi Restaurant just upstairs gained a Michelin Star earlier this year, as well as opening a new fine dining concept @aylamacakizi - lots going on for them at the moment! Head chef Aret is really pushing the boundaries of Turkish cuisine with a fresh, interesting and refined menu that utilises ingredients from across the region. More from this trip soon! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️
