1901 - Andaz (City of London)

• It is certainly not cheap but you are paying for the service and the ambiance
• I have been past 1901 - Andaz (City of London) so many times throughout my years in London and had no idea that the series of great looking bars and restaurants are all part of a hotel
• When you walk in from the hustle and bustle of Liverpool Street you are immediately greeted with a smile and a sense of calm
• With an exquisite dome that has lasted through both world wars is in a beautiful setting and we were to have a very lovely afternoon
• The sandwich is made up of layers of different sweets including a fine sponge on top
• S another fried egg on the side along with cinnamon fries (we could have eaten a bucket full of these on their own
• Gourmandghast headed out here at the recommendation of a respected foodie to mark a landmark in the life of a much loved relative and was not disappointed
• The service was firendly and attentive and Gourmandghast has a special place in his heart for the sommleier who responded to Gourmandghast's request for a sherry with a truly excellent fino
• The plaice was a real pleasure as well
• The beautiful domed stain glassed skylight was covered in the hotel bedroom&rsquo
• The standout being the Lemon tart with blueberry and honeycomb
• All washed down with a VERY drinkable red and a measure of port
• Under the great dome of what was the original ballroom of the Great Eastern Hotel
• The very well stocked cocktail bar is at the centre of this stately space
• To succulent beef tenderloin with braised cheeks and marrow croquettes
• Food each dish was beautifully presented
• The cocktail list was superb especially how they named it
• Not even realising what is actually hiding inside this huge building&hellip
• The restaurant is in what used to be the ballroom of the Great Eastern Hotel
• The place has gone through thorough refurbishment but it was made sure that the original design was kept unchanged
• Bright colours with perfectly selected lighting gives amazing ambience
• Were very helpful and checked everything with the kitchen
• The tables in the restaurant are quite spaced out
• As the bar with tons of bottles was on our horizon
• There was no other option than start the evening with the drinks
• The cuisine is modern British/European
• We started with a complimentary bread
• Every single thing on the plate tasted very good in its own but as a dish was slightly too bland
• Our starter was a soft shell crab (£
• The crab itself was very good but all the additions on the plate not necessary&hellip
• The balls on each side was a crab meat mixed with blend of veggies
• The steak with peppercorn sauce was definitely the best dish of the evening
• Everything was cooked very well
• This steak was not too far behind
• I wish Andaz 1901 was closer to my place
• On my agenda is definitely cheese &
• I can guarantee that anyone will be impressed with its interior
• Fo full review with pictures' description
• The interiors are stunningly beautiful
• We started with a beyond delicious fruity wine
• The chef's welcome appetizer I went for a veggie option with sweet potato and cucumber
• Spiced lentils with sweet potato
• I can tell the chef is a bit of an artist too
• Tender and juicy with ginger and sage stuffing
• The dessert was the only thing which disappointed me a bit
• The chocolate and cherry cake was good but maybe the cherries were too many or too sour
• Take your time for the dinner because the place is so relaxing and beautiful it's worth staying a bit more before or after the dinner for a drink or a coffee
• 2019 This is the Liverpool Street Power Breakfast Supreme Spot for that stiffener before an important morning meeting or a lengthy post mortem review after
• The prices are business expense claims
• The pictured Florentine Poached Eggs were delicious (as was the deal that got signed
