Delicious times at Osteria Vibrato again, confirmi

Delicious times at Osteria Vibrato again, confirming (not that it needed confirming really) that it is one of the best openings this year. Also good timing as this was just before their well-deserved little summer break this week. A martini, naturally, then sublime aubergine caponata and baccalà, that risotto bianco with 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano you could bathe in (its wan appearance may be as visually appealing as bumpy wall paint but there is huge flavour here), veal alla Castellana with Fontina and prosciutto, oh and some salad. Too stuffed for dolci alas - just fed too well

Another fantastic meal at Cornus, just over two years since it first opened (the time has flown by). Sensational Cornish Bluefin tuna with gazpacho, Zerbinati melon and basil, then Cumbrian lamb with olives, a refined ratatouille, Turkish peppers and sheep’s yoghurt, all preceded by gin martinis and gougères on the terrace and a generous selection of amuse-bouches. As at their sister restaurant Medlar, bread is included. Oh and there must and shall be cheese. Excellent service as always.

Back to Paris and new Mexican restaurant Locomal f

Back to Paris and new Mexican restaurant Locomal from the same team behind Mokonuts: on the first visit, a brunch which was a welcome change from stale viennoiserie and lukewarm scrambled eggs, and then a less relaxed dinner from a concise menu, the highlights being the octopus and corn tostada and the steak taco. Is this enough to shake off Paris’s history of shoddy Mexican cooking? For the full review head to palatemag.co.uk or link in bio

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!
