Can anyone recommend a Taster Menu restaurant in town?

Definitely the Ledbury then. But easier to get a table at Launceston Place and I would highly recommend (but a bit farther) Hedone in Chiswick. They got their Michelin Star but the prices are not so steep as they are not central and are fairly new. Delicious food and it's an open kitchen so you can watch your food being plated up almost in front of you!

Dabbous also but again difficult to get a booking.

Roganic and Viajante are great if you want the multi-course experience, but food which is a little lighter. The Kitchen Table (at Bubbledogs) could also be an interesting alternative, and is a pretty unique environment.


Ledbury is great, but you need to book well in advance. Le Gavroche for an all-out gutbuster. Cinnamon Club or Benares for fancy Indian food.

I love Clos Maggiore in Covent Garden which does great French food and is a really beautiful restaurant as well.


As it doesn't have the status of the Ledbury etc i think it is also easier to book.


I also prefer the atmosphere is CM as it is cosier and more intimate - depends what you're looking for!


Have a great night wherever you go!

You'll have a great time but do try Murano next time - absolutely my favourite restaurant in London.

I know you've booked but just in case you change your mind, I'd also second Clos Maggiore just off Covent Garden, very romantic venue (ask for a table in the conservatory) and gorgeously rich fine dining without being stuffy. I've eaten the best meals of my life there!

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
