Keeping with the dessert theme, this is the “Paddington Toast” at Peruvian restaurant El Alquimista in Greenwich. “A charming, nostalgic ode to the Peruvian bear” served with aguaymanto custard, Peruvian dulce de leche, chantilly cream and strawberry reduction. Link in bio for the full review.

August is here and we have new reviews published today, including trips to Peru (in Greenwich) and Mexico (in Paris), but first to Burro in Covent Garden and answering the crucial question: when it seems like there are Italian restaurants opening everywhere at once, is this one actually worth returning to? (Spoiler alert: yes!). Head to palatemag.co.uk or the link in bio for tales of rustic pork chops with disintegrating borlotti beans, clingy fettuccine, smooth panna cotta, tiramisù doughnuts and, of course, butter.

Also reviewed this month: El Alquimista in Greenwich and Locomal in Paris!

Back to Noizé in Fitzrovia for another excellent m

Back to Noizé in Fitzrovia for another excellent meal. Gougères and those extremely moreish sole fritters (a mandatory order with martinis every time), cured mackerel on Marmande tomato with gooseberry chutney and buttermilk dressing, then (with the Gevrey-Chambertin nicely decanted) lamb rump with pea cake, courgette tzatziki and a lamb jus, and saddle of rabbit with grilled cuttlefish, aubergine risotto and salsa verde, followed by cheese, naturally. And just before, for cocktail hour on the Bloomsbury side of Tottenham Court Road, drinks in the garden at the new Zetter Hotel, a lovely oasis of calm behind the British Museum. Perfect summer evening in central London

Can’t stay mad at Argentina for long. The Bull Ste

Can’t stay mad at Argentina for long. The Bull Steak Expert in Holborn remains one of the most underrated independent Argentinian steak restaurants in London. Lovely place with the friendly, personal service you’d expect of a small business. Been coming here for 15 or so years and the standards have never slipped. Walking distance from Noble Rot and the other wonders of Lamb’s Conduit Street too. Oh and delicious air con.

Fish and chips at The Turf Tavern, tucked away in the centre of Oxford. Always nice knowing a pub once had David Bowie as a guest as well as other stars such as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton (not so much the politicians though)

A recent and overdue return to Brutto for emergency “rosbif” with a fine Chianti. Preceded by rabbit and lemon pappardelle and a gin martini. Perfetto every time 👌

Delicious times at Margaret’s in Cambridge, the mo

Delicious times at Margaret’s in Cambridge, the more casual follow-up to the wonderful Restaurant Twenty-Two (which is just two doors down; Margaret’s hasn’t strayed too far from parental gaze). This part of the Chesterton Road may be a (mathematical) bridge too far for tourists who just want to go punting but it’s clear this restaurant is very popular with locals, and deservedly so. A year since it opened it seems to have settled in very well and the £75 set menu, while feeling initially punchy, is fair when you consider how much they feed you. In particular, there’s a clear devotion to independent and local suppliers.

Pictured from this visit (which can only ever be a snapshot due to the changing set menu), Audley End lamb rump (just a little dry), the generous selection of starters before that and a retro steamed ginger sponge with custard.
