Review analysis

— but the premises of what was Tony’s Restaurant & Bar in Brixton Water Lane are probably not too exigent in rent and rates.

Settled in the back dining room panelled with narrow horizontal wooden slats and illuminated with dangling filament light bulbs (it perhaps goes without saying), our first courses are burrata with wild hops and grilled asparagus with egg yolk, Parmesan and buckwheat.

Main courses of pork belly with sriracha and raw green wedges and lamb leg with Jersey potatoes, spinach and salsa verde are sold at the gentle prices of £9 and £14.

Sharratt is a fan of kitchen technology and I suspect the tense egg yolk and jiving pork have both benefited from the precise timing and texture that is in the gift of sous-vide preparation.

Then that white asparagus given a final toasting on the grill is served with fluffy micro-planed Parmesan, an egg yolk barely able to contain its molten richness, melted butter and crisped roughly torn crumbs — almost a moral tale.

Straight Up: Clarette

La Reine Margaux arrives in London at this Marylebone wine bar co-owned by an heiress to the legendary Left Bank estate What’s new?

London’s not short of new-wave wine bars but the competition can pack up their crates and go home now that Clarette is in town: its co-owner Alexandra Petit is the youngest daughter of Château Margaux owner Corinne Mentzelopoulos.

It’s as if Olivier Krug had opened a champagne bar.
