Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester - London Restaurant Reviews ...

A swish but surprisingly comforting addition to the über-chef's international empire, this very Gallic Mayfair dining room offers a surprisingly unintimidating haute-cuisine experience, that's highly enjoyable (if, of course, extremely expensive).

How many other dining rooms in London have been planned so meticulously that the downlighters - recessed into large mouldings in the ceiling - sit directly over each of the well-spaced tables?

First out was a small basket of puffed cheese puffs - not especially exciting - followed in quick succession by a plate of vegetable slivers with a couple of options for dipping and dunking them (in the shape of an intense olive-based sauce - like a creamy tapanade - and a creamy, whipped concoction).

From the same menu, a plate of winter vegetables made an attractive main course which lost nothing by the absence of protein.

In fact, at lunchtime, it's not really evident why you'd ever really need to choose the à la carte.

when I became a chef I realised that there was something magical going on in those kitchens.

I loved to see passionate chefs creating dishes, to hear the food sizzling in pans, to watch the fire and the steam.

at The Drunken Butler we decided to build an open kitchen, where our chefs become part of the service and they can share their passion for food with you.

Flesh & Buns: restaurant review | Life and style | The Guardian

The buns of the title are the soft, pillowy rice-flour buns appropriated from the Chinese repertoire by David Chang in New York, who stuffed them with seared slices of pork belly and Korean sauce.

They were then lovingly ripped off in London by Yum Bun, and have now become the focus of the menu here, alongside a list of Japanese-influenced snacks and small plates and a little straight-up sashimi and sushi.

It is a defiantly London restaurant with a cartoonish menu of Asian food, which riffs on all the salty and sweet things we tend to love from those traditions.

The rice in a spicy tuna roll may be a little dry, in a way that would make sushi aficionados scowl, but by now I am into the swing of things, lost in the noise and the brashness of it all, and the bursts of flame from the grill in the open kitchen at my elbow.

I first came across buns like these in the early 80s when certain London Chinese restaurants started to use them instead of pancakes with crispy (!)
