Texture

I went here for a work lunch and booked the lunch set menu with three courses and a glass of champagne. For £33.50 this has to be one of the best deals in London for the quality of the food. As expected the staff were very attentive and very good natured throughout. From the start the good was fantastic and a great experience. Before the first course we were given a selection of crackers made from seaweed, herring and squid ink which were surprisingly good. This was followed by a small but tasty soup, although I forgot to ask what it was. Then Icelandic Smørrebrød, a lovely combination of salmon, prawns and vegetables. The main course was a true piece of dining theatre with duck leg served on a forest floor diorama. More duck came with various winter vegetables, all of which was fantastic and full of flavour. Desert was a special Icelandic ice cream with Mandarin and rye bread crumbs which was a lovely delicate combination of flavour and texture. As an added extra we were also given macaroons and rich truffles. Aside from the quality of the food, the portions and extras made for a very filing meal which isn't always the case in these type of restaurants. Highly recommended and I will be back soon.
