Belvedere (Holland Park)

• Belvedere is one of those places where you can walk past and be confused as to what this building is doing in the middle of a park
• Three courses are worth the expenditure
• You feel like visiting a restaurant in the woods while London is around you
• Happily tables are not close to each other
• The starter (foie gras pate) was delicious but only one slice of toast (you needed two)
• The roast chicken was actually about half a chicken
• The suckling pig was also very generous
• We would certainly go again and there is the bonus of easy parking in the park
• The only thing that jarred a bit were some of the interiors which seemed a bit tacky in comparison to the rest
• That thought filled me with contentment
• I happened to go with a friend to this restaurant because of admiration for Marco Pierre White
• The wine had a really deep colour and with the first sip I could taste oak
• 9.50) and also Pea soup with fresh truffle (£
• The goats cheese was just simply amazing and the pear was poached just right and I didn't have to struggle with my knife to cut it
• Yeah I know it was again some parcel but the other options for vegetarian mains were gnocchi(yes
• I wasn't disappointed with my dish anyway
• So on to the dessert and one look at the options I was disappointed again
• All in all I would say Marco Pierre White has done a good job and his chefs are keeping up with the reputation of serving some good food
• Somewhere even I agree with his view that the guide has become biased in giving out stars)
