The Palomar

Last trip to London I managed 11 Michelin stars in a week, so it felt natural for my first meal on this trip to be here. It didn't disappoint.

Moroccan/ middle Eastern fare was on the menu. Lots of small plates, none of them any short of delicious.

Octo hummus, falafel, duck, chicken, and sirloin were just a few of the standout dishes I remember, but honestly, everything was good. Don't... more

Ambiance is simply epic. Loud, but cool and friendly and simply welcoming.

Trust me, it will... more
