Sunday Brunch at 3 South Place - Moorgate

3 South Place

Have you heard of it? It is a new-ish boutique luxury hotel set in the City of London near Moorgate, few minutes from Liverpool Street with beautiful and stylish Conran interior design.

I guess it is still very much a secret for all but once you get to know it, you will definitely be coming back or be recommending it to friends! I've visited 3 South Place twice now and have enjoyed their lovely Sunday Brunch Menu both times with the loveliest company! 

So during the weekend, there is a special weekend brunch menu where you can choose from having 2 courses for £20 or 3 courses for £25. Pretty reasonable especially knowing that the Executive Chef Tony Fleming only uses the freshest seasonal and local ingredients to prepare his menu. 

Additionally, you can also add unlimited Bloody Mary's, Prosecco, Bellinis or Mimosas to the set menu, whilst you dine for an additional £15! So if you are celebrating something and need the bubbles flowing ... This is a great place to be! 

On my first visit I had the Virgin Bloody Mary (since I do not drink alcohol), however sadly this was not part of the unlimited deal... Ah! It was yummy anyway! :p The hint of tabasco always gives the kick needed to start a lovely brunch!

The Cappuccino was also sooooo nice! The froth so smooth and yum!

Seriously smooth cappuccino with beautiful froth art! 

Have a look of the dishes tried and tested ...  They were as tasty as they look beautiful! 

- STARTERS -

English Muffin - Poached egg, hollandaise sauce and smoked salmon

Yorkshire Chorizo & Fried egg on Toast

- MAIN COURSE -

Day Boat Fish pie, soft quail eggs and chive sauce

Red Hereford Steak served with fried free range egg & chips 

Heron's Farm Longhorn Hamburger with Blythburgh bacon and Cheddar cheese

- SIDES -

          

- DESSERTS -

Baked Cheesecake with Blackberry Compote

Chocolate Fudge cake with Vanilla Ice Cream

Chocolate Pot with Salted Caramel

Overall, the savoury dishes were all excellent. Dessert-wise, I would put a warning sign with the Chocolate Pot with Salted Caramel as this dessert was insanely sweet and even sharing it between 3 of us, we did not manage to finish it! A spoonful (or half a spoonful) was enough to satisfy any sweet tooth! The Chocolate Fudge cake though was Fabulous - still rich... but very smooth! :) Service was polite, kind and very efficient. 

If you fancy treating yourself to A Lovely Weekend Brunch, 3 South Place is one to try!

Lunch at the SAVOY GRILL - Gordon Ramsey

To celebrate the New Year in 'style', we booked a set lunch menu at the SAVOY GRILL expecting a quintessentially British experience at one of the most exclusive London Hotels. 

Since 2007, The Savoy Hotel was closed and underwent a massive refurbishment which took almost three years to complete and reopened its doors end of 2010. I have not visited the premises since its reopening and with this beautiful Lunch Offer of 3 course meal at £26, it was a good time for a visit! 

As we were seated in a very comfortable corner of the restaurant, the surrounding of the dining room was (as expected) very glamorous and elegant with a 1920's theme, with majestic chandeliers illuminating the room. The atmosphere was formal, yet comfortable. 

Our three-course meal was lovely although not extraordinary ...  I will let you see for yourself the dishes enjoyed from the modern menu with classic French and British twists. 

Celeriac Soup with Crispy toast with blue cheese

This entree was made special by the delicious crispy toast. If you like blue cheese it's a winner, if not,  be warned ... the smell can be overpowering! 

Chicken Liver Parfait served with chutney accompaniment and toasted brioche

The other entree we chose, the Chicken Liver Parfait was smooth and light. The Chutney was the perfect accompaniment and I loved that it was served with toasted brioche instead of normal toast. 

I Love brioche :)  I could have this entree any day! 

Now to the Mains. We each had a different Main as below. 

All presented beautifully, portraying the British and French influence on the each dish. 

Grilled Hanger Steak served with Potato Puree and Kale

Pan fried smoked trout with shallots

Smoked salmon and brown shrimp fish cakes with lobster sauce 

Game pie with swede mash

The food was faultless. We could see that each element of every dish was carefully prepared and thought through. All classically prepared but presented in a modern way to suit the evolving and demanding customer, we were not disappointed as we moved on to our desserts ... 

Sherry Trifle

Treacle Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream

Overall an impeccable experience at the Savoy Grill and for the cost, very worth it! 

I would definitely recommend going for the Lunch Set Menu and take your friends who enjoy sophisticated service and environment. All for a very affordable price!

Lunch at Hunter 486 - The Arch Hotel London

Ladies who lunch!

I remember fondly a wonderful lunch I had in the company of lovely Ladies at Hunter 486
at The Arch London Hotel in Marble Arch last year.

The Arch London is a luxury boutique hotel which I would recommend any day! 

The service is friendly, uncomplicated and simply amazing. 

The decor is contemporary yet comfortable and stylish.

Trying out their restaurant was an experience which we enjoyed!

For Starters, I chose to have the Celeriac soup.

I have never cooked with celeriac before and wondered what it would taste like. 

And of course it's the Parmesan Croquant which attracted my attention! :p

The soup was very rich and creamy. Slightly on the salty side to my taste buds, 

it did not have a lot of flavour and I still wasn't too sure what 

celeriac taste was supposed to be ...  

but the Parmesan Cheese Croquant just made it for me. 

Crispy and the perfect accompaniment to the soup.

For our next course, we all decided to go for different mains. 

And this is the selection we had.
