L'Escargot - London / England


L'Escargot
48 Greek Street - London - W1D 4EF - 020 74397474


London, Friday, June 29, 2007

It stays a lovely city. For people who love food there's so much to see in this city. It seems that everything in this city seems to work it's amazing. For people like me it's a walhalla :-). L'Escargot is only one example, but a good one, one of the Marco Pierre White (the youngest chef and first Englishman ever to be rewarded 3 Michelin stars) restaurants. Very delicately hand-picked for me, it's so nice that people know how simple it is to please me ...

Started of with a kirr ...

Starters :
Escargot en coquille bordelaise
Tian of crab, shrimp avocado with citrus mayonaise
Sauted fish cake with a spinach mange tot and tarragon green beans

Main Course :
Seared diver caught scallops with an onion shellfish risotto
Roasted rumb of Elwy Vally Lamb with onion puree, crushed peas and croquette potatoes

Dessert:
Bitter chocolate tart with pistachio ice cream
Vanilla panacotta with poached strawberries and jus de fraise

accompanied by a Chateauneuf du Pape, Domaine de Beaurenard - 2003

and coffee with petit fours as final


It's a nice restaurant, bit traditional but the kitchen is good, worth every penny, it's not that expansive at all. It's not the cheapest but for what you get and the quality, perfect in balance. Next time we take one of his other restaurants.
