Review analysis

Meal for two, including drinks and service, £120 The detail which catches my attention lies at the very bottom of the first gnarly Asiatic porcelain bowl delivered to our table at Paradise Garage in London’s Bethnal Green.

Le Manoir has the sort of kitchen garden calculated to make even the most devout carnivore horny, but it appears to be have been Gill’s short periods with the big names of Scandinavian food, including René Redzepi, which have whacked the biggest thumb print on the dishes his restaurants serve.

A whole slow-cooked egg, wobbly beneath an overcoat of salty lardo, with a couple of charred onions, and raw mature spinach leaves sprinkled with oily fried breadcrumbs, is one of those textural experiences you either like or run screaming from.

Slow-cooked eggs always end up with a white that makes you fear someone who handled the plate had a thick cold.

■ Artusi in Peckham, south London, looks more towards Italy than Paradise Garage, but they share a belief that good food, showing off ingredients to the best of their advantage, should not come with pointless flummery.
