La Dame de Pic London

La Dame de Pic is a 2 star Michelin restaurant located within the 4 Seasons Hotel. Decor and service are exceptional. Our sommelier Gonzalo, was very knowledgable, "give me your best bottle under 200" , and he did not dissapoint. Food wise, we went for the voyage menu, as well as the cheese platter. A few amuse-bouche came in, I saw a few compains, from one of it beeing to boozie. It had alcohol indeed but it's a palate cleanser. It was a lovely marriage of 2 maritime flavors and a touch of desert , that i think, intends to give you an overview of whats about to come. It's fresh, clean, not overpowering and care was given to maintain the original flavor of the protein ( reminscent in some ways of Nouvelle Cuisine inspiration ). Cornish Mackerel, treat, balanced . Lactic vinaigrette reduces the acidity of the ribbons. Berlingots, cheezy, tangy, perfect match with the petit pois . Nettle clouis added a touch of bitterness to balance the sweetness of the petit pois. White Asparagus, bang on with that after taste, again of cheese, iberico pork adding saltiness. The sabayon is indeed a very interesting addition as it adds a flovar note to a strong dish, and by doing so complementing it on the side. It might not be to everybodys's taste, but it's unusally flavorfull. The scottish lobster was my partners favorite. Perfectly cooked , the sealed bee wax that matures the lobsters gives some nuance with a perfect green tea tanin. Our waitress mentioned it was on a consom, not at all. It was more on the bisque side (cloudy) , and was really good, touch of bitterness from cubes of pomelo. Wild Seabass, I wouldn't dare to comment it. It's a signature dish for a reason, I'll leave it to surprise you. Guinea Fowl was also exceptional, the perfume of the tonka that adds a caramely/cinnamony flavor to the palais is wow. Same goes for the pommes dauphines (filled with more mushroms and tonka). Morels were the"oh no" of the menu, not fresh ( I appreciate dehydrated mushrooms can be similar but still not the same), and far , far too salty (maybe the farce or the seasoning on top, hard to tell). Desert, hands down, 3 stars. The gariguettes has that respect for the strawberry highlighting the fruity flavors. It wouldn't almost need that sweet tuile. Millefeuilles , indeed, star of the show. Bottom line, @annesophie, fantastic staff, 2 stars well deserved. Thank you La Dame de Pic for a lovely lunch.

Towards the top end of the 2 Star Michelin world this is a sublime experience in every way. The service is impeccable, the Four Seasons Hotel housing it is classy and atmosphere is genteel. On the food side the many fish dishes stand out as some of the best we've ever had. This isn't just standard 2 star fare playing it safe either, some risks are taken and that edgy touch makes it all the more interesting. Try it and enjoy it is our advice.
