Pork belly was particularly delicious
-
Alongside the enticing aroma of seafood stock were the first things to strike the senses once over the threshold of Café
-
S that common to smell the food a restaurant is cooking as soon as you walk in
-
Perhaps ventilation systems are so good these days
-
It felt right and was indicative of the meal to come unafraid to make itself known and for good reason
-
People had reservations and they were keeping them
-
Those without them (I assume) were free wheeling it at the bar
-
The design is both classy and chic
-
One I suspect find few things more enjoyable than good food with good wine and good company
-
The aperitivo of the day was something said with the sort of wonderfully thick and indecipherable Italian accent of a waiter you immediately put all your culinary faith in
-
I later discovered it was called an Olandese Volante kü
-
A trio of toy sized truffle arancini were piping hot and what I initially thought a touch underseasoned
-
Turns out my first bite was wrong (I can only put it down to the palate finishing its occupation with such a great cocktail)
-
All subsequent mouthfuls were so spot on
-
Chunks of warm octopus with firm chickpeas
-
The soft crunch of pine nuts and baby gem were yielding and tasty
-
M so glad my dining partner ordered the thing we were neither able to translate nor pronounce) was a fish stew triumph
-
A rich and deep broth with a touch of chilli
-
We spooned the sauce straight to our lips with great zeal whilst simultaneously lamenting over the diminishing volume
-
The white fish in it was just gorgeous
-
The prawns were soft really soft (I&rsquo
-
Served in an oven dish with a hardened and gloriously chewy thin bit of bruschetta slathered in a pesto so vibrant I&rsquo
-
Then there was the primi the pastas
-
How ground corn and Parmesan can be whipped up into something so light and so delicate is a little beyond me
-
The tiramisu was without fault (it&rsquo
-
The scoop of salted caramel ice cream and another of cinnamon had ethereal textures (and the flavour balance of the former was so completely right)
-
Angela actually cooked here at one time with Marcus Wareing
-
The formula is a familiar one
-
The head chef is Sam Williams
-
Who worked with Angela Hartnett at Murano
-
Rosemary focaccia from Balthazar Bakery was light and delicious (15/20)
-
Truffled arancini was never going to involve any late season Alba white truffles
-
Instead a trio of rice balls were flavoured with Parmesan and truffle oil before being deep fried
-
Truffle oil is an artificial chemical (2
-
4 dithiapentane) in olive oil that has nothing whatever to do with the real thing except that its fragrance has a passing resemblance to truffles
-
Pancetta and pepper with Parmesan (but no pesky cream) a suitably warming dish for this rainy London winter day (14/20)
-
2.80) was Musetti and was very pleasant
-
I dropped in with Dad The List for an indulgent Saturday lunch a well timed visit as Angela has just announced that a second Café
-
We started off with the delightful house bread and some serious Planeta D
-
The former are only in season for a very short time
-
When I'm dining with Dad The List
-
The Meringue was subject to scrutiny as it was harder to deconstruct than we are used to
-
My seemingly simple Apple Torta was also a winner
-
Perfectly paired with unusual but joyous Marsala Wine Ice Cream
-
Decided to have my next business lunch with pre booking (several weeks)
-
While the waiter was decidedly clumsy in pouring wine on the table instead of the wine glass
-
Did not get served with the rest of the lunch
-
We were told that there was problem with the cooking and was slightly delayed
-
15 minutes later my beef which was served not worth the wait or the reputation of this restaurant
-
Cafe Murano has a very grand setting with high ceilings
-
Everywhere selling great food for a reasonable price there are a dozen Frankie &
-
I adore Murano and the name is certainly what brought me here
-
Branded on toast (2/10) This was not thick enough in consistency
-
Polenta crisp (4/10) I thought this was a passable dip
-
Not much about it was remarkable
-
The crisps were quite greasy and the dip itself already quite fatty
-
I doubt they were salted after being fried
-
I doubt the risotto was adequately salted prior to being chilled
-
T be fooled into thinking that this is a second class spin off
-
Ensures that you are in for a treat when you dine here
-
I think Angela Harnett is one of the most exciting and likeable chefs around and being half Italian on her mother&rsquo
-
Harnett trained with Gordon Ramsay and has worked at top restaurants like Aubergine and Petrus
