Sixtyone (Marble Arch)

• The chef there is Arnaud Stevens
• On the ceiling is a display of hanging copper pipes
• Bread was made from scratch in the kitchen and was very good indeed
• Marmite bread was an interesting idea that was mercifully light in the distinctive flavor (easily 15/20 bread)
• The artichokes were carefully cooked &ndash
• Though there is a limit to how exciting you can make such a dish (still easily 13/20)
• 18) was slow cooked and came with thin slices of carrot
• Walnuts and two segments of grapefruit with a little meat jus with chervil as garnish
• The flavour of the latter was somewhat lost in the cheese
• Given the black pudding this dish was quite rich and would have benefitted with another element to give it better balance (13/20)
• 8) was made with good quality chocolate
• Sixtyone restaurant is located in the ground floor of the Montcalm Hotel
• In conjunction with luxury company Searcys
• As the website describes the food and with head chef Arnaud Stevens cooking in the kitchen
• Toiling over our menu i was astounded that in this pricey part of London
• A la carte prices were still very reasonable for the quality of the food
• To get our taste bud flowing our waiter brought out a cafetiere filled with a mushroom tea like powder
• Is then met with a dashi broth creating a lovely earth
• A rich and thick mushroom mouse was also served alongside with some pieces of crispy toast and dried mushrooms
• The toast i wouldn't give you too many thanks for but the mouse was lovely and transforms it completely
• Sixtyone were a little different with the pre meal offerings so it made a nice change to what can sometimes be a little predictable in other fine dining establishments
• Even things like the simple offering of their breads were expertly crafted and were accompanied by a gorgeous whipped butter with a texture so light you could almost mistake it for marshmallow
• Sorrel and sesame was a magnificent plate bursting with colour and flavour
• The octopus was fresh and vibrant
• While pieces of red pepper were juicy and retained all their sweet flavour
• If there were ever a low point to our meal at Sixtyone restaurant it was our second starter of crispy organic egg with artichoke
• Compared to everything else we were to be eating it was just not exciting enough and the egg needed a few seconds more cooking
• The artichoke and puree on the other hand were delightful but i do feel this one dish
• One of my favourite dishes (excluding desserts) was the unbelievably juicy Cumbrian chicken with smoky Alsace bacon
• Braised leek and unquestionably the best tarragon and bread sauce you'll ever eat if you came across another that is
• Every single element to this dish was a delight to eat and complemented one mouthful after the other
• If you come here and this dish is on the menu
• Sixtyone (Marble Arch) is bedazzling
• Portion sizes are ideal for dates so try one of the light Carpaccio&rsquo
• The Beef Shoulder and Steamed Sea bass are both to die
• The desserts are artful so get one to ogle at
• Do wines by the glass (the sommelier is fabulous and French) and absolutely move on to digestifs and dessert wines &ndash
• Forget about the fact that carbs are the devil and delve into the Marmite bread (break it in half and butter it for the other) &ndash
• We were presented with an unusual mix of breads in different flavours and patterns
• The waiter was very helpful with his descriptions
• All dishes were presented exquisitely
• My friend and I tried Sixtyone (Marble Arch) yesterday for lunch on a suggestion of a friend and we were not disappointed at all
• I had beef rib and it was better than what I was expecting
• I have been here so many times with friends and family
• I had dinner few days ago with my brother
• Mains my personal favorite is lamb shoulder
• Aside from the mains my favorite section is the dessert section
• Marshmallow are the best I have every tried
• We went there and were warmly welcomed by the staff
• I had cumbrian chicken and it tasted delicious plus the meal was good in portions
• All in all it was a lovely experience
• The dinning party was very much looking forward to our meal at the restaurant
• While the party was warmly greeted &
• No one checked to see if we were enjoying the meal &
• While the meal itself was lovely &
• The plating of each dish from appetizers to desserts is just amazingly beautiful and elegant
