Cooking at the 2 Michelin starred French restaurant The Square ( 6-10 Bruton St, London W1J 6PU; tel. +44 20 7495 7100) is proper and solid, but I have a feeling, that if it were located in Paris, it would never get 2 Michelin stars. It seems that Michelin inspectors…

Australian born chef Brett Graham is the creative force behind what I think is one of London’s best restaurants since a while: The Ledbury (127 Ledbury Rd, Notting Hill, London W11 2AQ, tel. +44 20 7792 9090 ). His awards include two much deserved Michelin stars and a number 13…

There are only three options at Burger and Lobster mini chain in London: 700 g. grilled or steamed lobster with garlic butter, buttery lobster roll with Japanese mayonnaise or a significant size burger, all served with fries and salad. And that’s where lays the secret of the long queues (no reservations)…

Professional chefs are known for not having much life outside of their kitchens. It’s a difficult job, not only physically, but also emotionally, often becoming your whole life and vice versa. Hedone’s chef Mikael Jonsson brings his passion for the art of the gastronomy to a whole new level. I…

Images from HKK, the lastest Hakkasan group opening in London. Probably the best high-end Chinese food I’ve had since visiting Lung King Heen in Hong Kong few years ago… The restaurant offers tasting menus only. HKK (88 Worship St London, Greater London EC2A 2BE; tel. +44 20 3535 1888)

Barrafina (54 Frith St, W1D 4SL London, tel. +44 20 7813 8016 ) – an excellent Spanish tapas bar in London that will make you travel to San Sebastian or Barcelona. No reservations – walk-ins only.

Two great addresses I recently discovered in London. Cut at 45 Park Lane ( 45 Park Lane , London W1K 1PN, tel. +44 20 7493 4554 ) Steakhouse by famous Los Angeles chef Wolfgang Puck. The steaks are as American as steaks in London could get. The Star of India (…

Images from my second time at Hedone which was even more memorable than the first time almost one year ago. Hedone is not only about quality ingredients, it is about treating those ingredients with greeting respect and creating simple yet powerful dishes. Definitely one of my favourite (if not favourite) restaurants in…

Perfect seafood at the Arts Club restaurant, London (members only).
