M - Threadneedle Street (City of London)

• Particularly enjoyed the pork belly ramen and the Swordfish sizzle tray which is finished off on the table
• Desert was a pineapple flan with a raspberry sorbet and the two flavours married together well
• This part of the restaurant was almost empty compared to the Meat area
• Who left his role as Managing Director of Gaucho Restaurants earlier this year after almost a decade with the company
• I recommend going with at least a few friends (preferably with somewhat adventurous palates)
• I visited as part of a festive quartet of foodies and thought it proved the best way of making the most of M&rsquo
• Word from a City worker buddy of mine is that M does an express lunch that&rsquo
• The smoked eel was especially flavoursome
• Having our waiter grate fresh wasabi at the table for us was a super nice touch
• 18.50) had me connecting with my inner caveman and coming up with a plausible theory as to how this restaurant got its name (&lsquo
• 6.50) and peas with English wasabi (£
• Though its broth was rather delicate and slightly moreish
• The wine list was a good one (enjoyed a reasonably priced bottle of Cote du Rhone) and the cocktails were intriguing (thumbs up for the multitude of choice when it came to requesting an Old Fashioned)
• Dating certain types requires a certain amount of (razzle) dazzle and sometimes you want something without that rustic charm that pop ups and gastro eateries are currently crazy
• Far more date friendly is M Raw which offers perfectly sized sharing dishes with ceviches
• Giggle naughtily at the fact that the latter ingredient is supposedly soporific
• Ll be scores of single men (the place has a private dining room with a table football table and Xboxes) so you&rsquo
• The concept is about smaller dishes which are fast and most importantly
• As I was keeping with the healthy theme this month
• There is a special wine list at Raw which is chosen based on purity of flavour and grape variety and many are unfiltered
• I actually had to look up why this was a good thing and apparently when wine is filtered elements can be removed that effect the flavour and aroma
• So we started with the sashimi sampling platter to give us a chance to try the trout
• I do think M is a quality bar worth visiting
• While I don't see it as being the hot spot that is always crowded
• Sometimes having a nice meal in an actually peaceful venue with great ambience and only the people you want to spend the night with around is a great advantage
• Bookatable are offering some pretty awesome &lsquo
• Lots of really great restaurants are taking part
• The best way to start your day is with a filling breakfast
• It's actually the most important meal of the day as it provides your body with the energy it needs to get going
• M houses two restaurants with space for private dining and a cocktail bar with Jarad McCarroll from Chiltern Firehouse as the Head Chef
• Leather booths and luxurious lighting surely match the area and I was curious if the food would be up to the same standards
• 30 on a Monday morning was too early for the broth to be ready
• The fried egg was deliciously runny and complemented the tender duck confit perfectly
• What I liked about the breakfast was that it was filling
• M restaurant is located a stones throw from my office
• In the Harpers Awards and with a second site coming to Victoria very soon you can understand why I was expecting good things
• Eventually he met up with a former and current colleague for a drink just round the corner from the restaurant
• The tables are nicely spread apart and there's a bar with cosy seating at the top of the stairs
• So took Moosh with me for a feast
• Com 4 courses with free flowing prosecco for 1.5 hours for £
• The service was friendly and attentive and the restaurant as a whole has a modern decor there is an upstairs and downstairs area and private rooms upstairs
• It is a set menu with 3 choices for starter and main and two choices for dessert
• Particularly with the prosecco
• The restaurant itself is lovely and quite grand
• It was a 4 course meal with 4 glasses of wine for £
• Defeats the purpose as they are paired together and meant to be tasted together
• I was really disappointed with the waiter as he cleared my plate and I wasn't finished eating
• My fork and knife were not together indicating I had finished
• I'm very unhappy with my experience at this restaurant
• On bookatable which gave us 4 courses with free flowing prosecco for 1.5 hours for £
• The service was second to none
• Best (and probably most expensive) tori karaage chicken with a delightful wasabi mayonnaise was a great start
• The braised short rib had some great texture but if I had to 'pull it apart' I would say it was a tad on the dry side
• Side salad was a nice crisp touch
• The French red wine served with our set menu was well rounded and enjoyable across the whole meal
• Stunning setting with great ambience
• Highlights were the chicken karaage
• The ribeye was the best steak I've ever tasted
• What better way to spend it than with bottomless prosecco
• The restaurant bar itself was lovely and great ambience
• We found the steak very sub standard and ordinary with no flavour
• The service however on the day was shocking there was some corporate event on later in the night so we were told (not asked) to leave very rudely
• They specialise in steaks from around the world which are displayed in their dry ageing room to the side of the restaurant
• The service was prompt but not overbearing and out waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu
• The steak I ordered (Hanger from Normandy) was incredibly soft and delicious
• The the prices are quite steep I would definitely recommend this restaraunt for a special occasion
• M on Threadneedle has a great location with a nice ambience and bar inside
• We had a booking for two and were seated quickly with very polite and prompt service throughout the evening
• While the speciality is steak there are several other options available
• Though quite limited for vegetarians with only a single dish on the menu
• The steak selection is impressive and has a wide wine listing to match
• We ordered Botswanan and Normandy steaks with a wagyu tartare entree and mushroom and squash sides
• The dishes all came quickly and were very well cooked
• While the prices are definitely on the higher end
• The quality of food and service was great and makes a return visit worthwhile
