To go for the last dinner in London, we walked to the restaurant we booked. The streets were beautifully decorated with illuminations. |
This is tonight’s restaurant, Roganic. This is the two year pop up restaurant opened earlier this year, and owned by Simon Rogan who also owns a Michelin one star restaurant, L’Enclume. Since it will last for only 2 years, I couldn’t resist trying this restaurant as I don’t know when we can visit London next time. |
They offered only one menu – 10-course tasting menu (they also had the vegetarian version). |
The organic butter was served on the stone again. I wonder if a stone can improve the taste of butter or something… |
The bread was served in a wooden tray. But I realized during this trip that I don’t like British bread very much… |
The first dish, millet pudding with grains, burnt pear and Isle of Mull blue. |
Oh~, this was very creamy and tasty. I liked the texture of millet as well. |
The second dish, smoked braddock white, pickled roots, ox eye daisy and salt beef. |
The third dish, roasted langoustine, cured char, purple sprouting and chokeberry vinaigrette. |
This langoustine was amazing – sooo flavorful and delicious. But the portion was too small – I wanted to eat 10 more… |
The sixth dish, Mr. Little’s Yetholm Gypsies cooked in chicken fat, snow peas, cured and clam juice. |
The seventh dish, dab bakes in fennel salt, sea beet, parsley root and watermint. |
The eighth dish, Yorkshire pheasant, pumpkin, muesli and buckshorn plantain. |
The pheasant itself was very light in flavor. But it changed to interesting taste when eaten with the sauce and other stuff on the plate. |
The last dish - Bilberries, dried caramel, natural yogurt and iced lemon thyme. |
I loved this natural yogurt - very smooth yet rich. |
Espresso at the end of the meal. |
And lastly the petit fours. If I could start over this trip, I would choose this restaurant for lunch and have dinner at Ledbury (where we had lunch2 days ago). |
We took a Tube from the Baker Street Station to get back to the hotel. |
At this station, walls are decorated with Sherlock Holmes motifs. These are the tiles with Holmes's profile. |
