Founded in Denmark in 2008, but with its roots stretching back over 20 years, 2016 finally saw Ole & Steen open up shop in London.

Avenue

Avenue

By Joss Bassett 24 January 2018

Avenue on St James’s Street has been one of those places I’ve been dining at since it first opened. I was a kid and going regularly for lunch with the family after visiting the RA just up the road on Piccadilly; the Sunday roast beef and Yorkshire pudding was just superb. As often happens with…

London’s Best Boozy Brunches

London’s Best Boozy Brunches

By Marshall Allender 29 October 2017

Breakfast on most occasions either consists of some burnt toast or tasteless yogurt: occasionally life treats you to the luxury of breakfast out, though that is almost always because of work. For those of us that are students, or night owls, we far prefer to have the extra sleep rather than a bowl of soggy…

London's Best Tartare - An Alternative List

London's Best Tartare - An Alternative List

By Joss Bassett 27 October 2017

Steak Tartare has seen a renaissance of late, but for such a simple and versatile dish it is easy to screw up. You’ll find it on many bistro, steak restaurant, and fine dining menus, including the likes of Hawkesmore, The Ivy, Zedel, M Raw and Boisdale. But for our list of the best we thought…

London's Best Raw Fish

London's Best Raw Fish

By Joss Bassett 2 October 2017

Having given our run down of the best alternative tartares in London, it’s only fare we give a run down of the best raw fish places in town. How can we not when it’s so permeated into the current zeitgeist. Appearing even more often than steak tartare these days, there are a number of places that…

Dukes' White Truffle Martini

Dukes' White Truffle Martini

By Joss Bassett 26 September 2017

Let the choirs of archangels, angels, seraphim and cherubim (and all the others) cry forth “Hallelujah!”, for it is once again white truffle season, that time of year when we spend vast fortunes on an underground fungus that looks like a mummified testicle but, when thinly shaved, releases a transcendent and heavenly smell that takes…

Fortnum & Mason: The London Grocer

Fortnum & Mason: The London Grocer

By Joss Bassett 22 September 2017

Every department store going has at least one place for it’s weary customers to rest their aching bodies. For some it’s just a matter of providing a café or two, a self-service restaurant or even a sit down waiter service arrangement. The best of the best department stores have food halls that serve food via…

Yoshino: A Japanese Tour de Force

Yoshino: A Japanese Tour de Force

By Joss Bassett 26 August 2017

Restaurants consist of three things – food, service, and ambiance. Yoshino has them in such perfect balance that, when I hear its name or simply walk past, a smile always comes to my face. I’m hopeful about all in the world. I was first introduced to Yoshino by a friend my partner and I bumped…

45 Jermyn Street

45 Jermyn Street

By Joss Bassett 13 August 2017

Immaculate in its design, Fortnum’s The Fountain Restaurant’s replacement, 45 Jermyn Street, is a sure bet from design to plate. Pure Heaven Unlike the tired tea room that it replaced 18 months ago, 45 is run as a separate entity, rather than a restaurant within Fortnum’s, and is a place I have loved since its…
