London Restaurant Review, Kuramoh Lounge – METROGYPSIE

Review analysis
food  

Asides the fact that they wasted a lot of time with my main dish (isi-ewu aka goat head), my time there was very well spent and worth it.

Click here to watch the video of my time out there.

Asun is a form of peppered goat meat in tiny chunks Isi-Ewu is chunks of goat head cooked in potash and strong spices garnished with onions.

ps: I’m just realizing all my meals had goat meat 🤣 I’d be giving this place an 8 out of 10 which is very high considering the amount of delay experienced (though his reason was legit and food good, still.

New Restaurant Review: Pachamama | Londonist

Review analysis
food   menu   drinks  

As the popularity of Peruvian cuisine grows, so its novelty factor fades and increasingly diners will ask for more from a restaurant than mere authenticity.

Chicharrones (£3.50) are deep-fried chunks of pork belly that are crisp to the bite but succulently soft within, their richness lifted by a sprinkling of raw red onion and fresh mint leaves.

We try one that combines portobello and oyster mushrooms with corn (£8) in a truffle-laced version of tiger’s milk — the most common Peruvian marinade for ceviche, made from lime juice, chilli, garlic and coriander.

A less off-the-wall variant with sea trout, watercress, beetroot and tiger’s milk (£9) is a more triumphant melding of British and Peruvian influences, with the citrus juices a good contrast for the earthy beetroot and oily trout.

Most impressively, Pachamama manages more than any other Peruvian restaurant in London to make this cuisine feel at home and at ease.

Into this glorious melee comes the Pugliese dining spot Ostuni; a capacious sister to the Queen’s Park branch, promising a similarly ambitious, flamboyantly authentic menu.

Ostuni, as a concept, is so beautifully pulled together, it would lure any empty stomach hoping for the secrets of Puglian cuisine handed down over decades by nonna and all that schtick.

We ordered lots, we ate quite a bit, and the fact we enjoyed lunch is doubtless as Ostuni lends itself completely to a lovely, Prosecco-filled gossipy lunch.

The green olive leaf pasta with burrata, cardoncelli mushrooms and truffle was a good effort, if in need of a little seasoning.

Ostuni will rarely be empty as it sits prettily in a place where people will always need dinner and then a lovely pint in The Flask nearby.

Restaurant review: Koffmann's | Allan Jenkins | | Life and style | The ...

With Pierre Koffmann at the stove and Simon Hopkinson at the table, it was always going to be a lunch to remember The Berkeley, Wilton Place, London SW1 (020 7235 1010).

On one side, sharing my corner table at Koffmann's, is good egg and great cook Simon Hopkinson.

It has always been a regret that I had never eaten at the legendary La Tante Claire in Hospital Road with Simon, but while he was dining on his first trotters à la Pierre Koffmann in 1980, I was teasing organic carrots out of clay in an eco-commune on Anglesey while my hippie wife was being spat at by stunted locals.

Simon, always braver with offal than me, has opted for kidney with brains.

(Simon later learns from Rowley Leigh that Koffmann himself was working pastry that day.)
