Medlar - London

Had dinner here on Saturday night last after a mix up (my fault all) on a Friday night reserve, which was quickly and gracefully managed by the maitre d’. beautiful crab ravioli to begin followed by a cod main and chocolate cake for the desert. we also had a bottle of delicious arbois (2010) chardonnay selected form a very extensive wine list. a little expensive, but a great culinary experience. worth a visit. a little negatiw for us. the top floor is not the most attractive it area, but this is just a personal perspective.

Medlar in chelsea feels good. it is a finer it area and they see the ripe and good to do quantity that undoubtedly often navigate their way through what a delightful menu. as a solo dinner, research in the opposite to do, they can feel that they are a little self-confident sitting somewhere that is 't casual dining. Finally, for such a post location, why would they not have a partner, friend or family. I can safely say that not only this place will cost them the convenient eating alone, it is also without air and grace to make them feel that they are not worthy. for the magnificent dining and star service everyone is welcome if they can afford it naturally. her lunch menu is prix fixe with three cures at £35, two courses at £30 and one cure at £25. The prices show clearly that it is worth more for money, more than just doing one dish. I went for the price-performance ratio and started with a sweet mais veloute with boneless chicken wings, ras el haout oil and aged comte gougeres. in the round it was like a cross between suppe and gazpacho. the chicken wing was so delicate and it worked really well in the plate. they could not immediately see that it was in there, but as they immerse them in them received spoons to experience the hidden were completely. for my main course I had squash ravioli with royal oysters mushrooms, cavolo nero, ricotta, fresh walnuts and a sage-beure ritterette. delicious! I love wild mushrooms to the moon and back; it is very how that it is available in most of my food options. the service at this place is slick. the decoration is underestimated luxury. the guests think themselves as they are on their champagne. it is not what they see from outside, it is very inclusive.

A couple of weeks ago I celebrated a fairly depressing birthday so not wanting to do anything major, I booked a table at French restaurant Medlar for myself and @bmcboy. The choice was partly due to glowing reviews the restaurant has received recently and partly due to the fact that is one of the few good places open on a Sunday evening.

It would seem like I always have my best meal of the year towards the end of that year. Last year, it was at Barrafina. This year, The Medlar won me over. My decision to dine here was quite a spontaneous one. However, when I say spontaneous , I really mean reservation made 4 days in advance I 'm not one to take any chances.

Medlar is located in World’s End, right at the very end of the King’s Road in Chelsea. Owned by Joe Mercer Nairne and David O’Connor, who have both honed their skills in some of London’s top restaurants – some of which I’ve had my best meals at (The Square and The Ledbury). I added Medlar to my bucket list as soon as it opened but for one reason or another though I have only just managed to tick this one off. I was really looking forward to our lunch here…
