A tale of two grills: Bukowski Charcoal Grill and Boyds Grill & Wine ...

Review analysis
drinks   value   food   staff   ambience   cleanliness   menu  

I got tired of the company that Les Trois Garcons was keeping, all those tiresome new bars springing up all over the place, that hideous collection of shipping containers that opened over the road.

And Shoreditch’s loss is The Strand’s gain, with Les Trois Garcon’s general manager Fabien Babanini moving to Northumberland Avenue’s Boyds Grill & Wine Bar just in time for its major refurbishment.

The first is a Soho outpost of the New York-style diner Bukowski Charcoal Grill, a place that bubbles various shades of meat in oil and is best visited after a medium-to-heavy session in the nearby pub The George.

It serves locally-sourced meat that’s been cooked on its fancy new Synergy Grill, which apparently burns so hot it can atomise fat and seal in moisture.

Boyds is a very good restaurant that’s made great through sheer force of personality, through the vision and care and meticulousness of a manager who knows how to run a restaurant in his sleep, who can predict your every whim before it’s occurred to you, and who knows the menu as well as the chefs.

Boyds is a grand and sophisticated Victorian venue with a contemporary twist and a menu to match, showcasing the best British ingredients.

Driven by flavour, Nate uses his knowledge and skill to transform British ingredients into internationally inspired dishes.

Sipsmith gin-cured salmon, with daikon and buttermilk sorbet and duck liver parfait with fig and mandarin meringue proved Nate’s skill at unusual flavour pairings, but the real show-stopper was the seven-hour braised leg of lamb with tandoori spice and a carrot and citrus purée.

After dinner, head over to meet the chef behind the crazy flavour combinations at the Chilli mango sorbet is a fiery twist on a classic palate cleanser, while the pea and mint, and parmesan ice cream take savoury ingredients and turn them in to a surprising end to the meal.

REVIEW: Boyds Grill & Wine Bar, Northumberland Avenue, London ...

One thing I didn’t expect from Boyds Grill & Wine Bar was the type of food that they are showcasing on the menu.

The small plates are delicious, but they’re merely a side to the whole operation – the steak is what makes this place a real destination restaurant.

Desserts at Boyds Grill & Wine Bar, or should I say – ice cream & sorbets quite literally left me speechless.

From our delicious cocktails, trendy small plates, classic steaks cooked to perfection and a dessert bar with a difference.

I hope Boyds Grill & Wine Bar is here to stay for years to come because I plan on coming back time and time again, especially for that dessert bar.

Boyds Grill & Wine Bar, restaurant review: Hidden high splendour ...

Review analysis
drinks   ambience   food   facilities   menu   value  

It’s here, in high Victorian splendour, that Charles Boyd, a long-term advocate of the best British produce, has opened both a bar and a grill-based restaurant of startlingly high quality, with executive chef Nate Brewster and, as general manager, Fabien Babanini, a flamboyant charmer, a native of Lyons but long-term UK resident, who has previously worked front of house for such places as Les Trois Garçons, La Tante Claire and The Square.

The layout means you can sit at different bars, in the formal dining room, in very comfortable padded red leather chairs, or even on sofas in the lounge, and have the same menu, either as a drink and a plate or as a full dinner.

You could just have a glass of wine — the list is amazing and includes cheap 25ml taster glasses as well as the 125ml and 175ml servings, of fabulous Pouilly-Fuissé and Gevrey-Chambertin, for example — and the British cured meat board from Trealy Farm in Monmouthshire (£10 for one, £19.95 for two or more to share from the counter) with really first-rate charcuterie, artisan salamis and hams that easily match anything from Spain or Italy.

It seems a shame to enhance such perfect simplicity with anything more than good wine:  Clos Maucaillou, from the fine year of 2009, classified as Bordeaux Superieur but sourced through the Margaux Château Boyd-Cantenac, is well worth £29.50 a bottle and the list includes half a dozen different vintages of Boyd-Cantenac itself if you’re feeling flush.

For Boyds Grill and Wine Bar is the opposite of those restaurants in which the cooking is aimlessly novel or fatuously trend-pursuing: it’s about quality and giving pleasure to the diner at a fair price (we paid £97.48 for two à la carte, although you could easily spend more than this on wine alone, if you felt inclined).
