The next Restaurant you have to visit is L'Etranger; Executive Chef & Director Jerome Tauvron (Pierre Gagnaire and Alain Ducasse-trained) and Director Ibi Issolah (the original General Manager of the legendary Atlantic Bar & Grill), have been great friends for a number of years; we all had dinner together a few months ago and now with another dear friend and fellow Manchester United fan Christophe Capron GM of Le Boudin Blanc in Shepherd market, it is time for me to share the amazing dinner we had that evening.
Thin slices of fresh sea bass seasoned with a shallot and shiso salsa served with dried kelp (seaweed)
There is not a lot that I can say; it was just delicious, fresh & tangy with the shiso dressing and the crispy seaweed.
Marika Rossi the very pleasant and very knowledgeable Sommelier serves us Guru, Wine & Soul, Douro , Portugal
Grilled quail on the robata marinated with five spices and black bean sauce served with the Japanese shishito pepper grilled as well on the robata (charcoal grill)
Again; you have to go an taste this dish; you will not eat quail like this anywahere else; the marinade is perfect and the black been sauce.
