The World's End Market (Chelsea)

• Actually the King's Road itself is becoming much more main stream and brand driven with its shops
• 10 grilled panini filled with poor produce
• CO (burger chain) open their doors both of which are very competitively priced (not very Chelsea)
• So perhaps this change is already starting
• This new addition is exactly what this part of town has been begging
• An espresso martini was terrible (needs some work
• The mai tai was absolutely perfect and went down a treat
• O chilli and coriander dressing was a absolutely stunning plate of food
• The juice was zesty and light it was all a real pleasure to eat
• Beef up the portion size and The World's End Market are on to a winner with this dish
• Another beautifully presented (and tasting) dish was this sea bass tarter with gherkins and capers
• The menu here is very much seafood orientated
• I couldn't resist the Madagascan tiger prawns they ended up being of epic proportions and were some of the finest examples I've eaten for a very long time
• All main courses come with a side of fries and salad
• Rib eye steak was ordered medium rare and arrived with precision perfect cooking
• A solid meat offering which is probably the best you'll find in the this neck of the woods
• It could have perhaps carried a little more meaty flavour with it and more age to the cut would have done the trick or you could just order the T bone
• All of which were marvellous
• My only criticism is that the cheeses were all served a little too cold
• Apart from this beauty the dessert menu is on the whole a rather standard affair so don't expect fireworks
• The World's End Market is a fantastic new addition to this part of Chelsea
• World's End Market was previously a nineteenth century ale distillery and then a twenty first century traditional pub
• The restaurant opened in December 2014 after the success of their sister restaurant The Crystal Palace Market with head chef Bubker Belkhit
• Located on Kings Road which is historically known for it's regal
• The restaurant decor itself is ever so slightly less glamorous with it's dark wooden decor
• I believe this is in line with their philosophy and wholesome rustic approach
• The room has leather seating and wooden chairs with quirky lighting in addition to a well stocked bar and impressive fresh fish display
• All the food at World's End Market is fresh due to being locally sourced and grilled in a Josper oven for natural flavour
• My guest asked for a Cosmo which was stronger but less sweet and fruity compared to mine
• I later sampled the Lychee Martini which was lovely as it came with two lychees but was rather sweet and I think I preferred the passion fruit
• I ordered the Colchester rock oysters with salsa and added a few drops of tobasco and my guest had the carpaccio of salmon with a side of bread
• The oysters were large and served in a huge standing dish full of ice and freshly cut lemon and the salmon was light and nicely dressed on soft bread
• The lobster was an exquisite picture and the taste didn't disappoint
• It had been lightly seasoned and also came with an oil/sauce to add to taste
• My guest's verdict on the seabass was and I quote "
• I tasted some too and it was soft and tender and full of grilled flavour
• The seabass is cooked whole
• It's the right amount of fruity sweet with a sharp kick and very soft so it melts in the mouth
• My guest had the caramel cheesecake which she said had a lovely buttery crumbly base which went perfectly with the caramel and hazelnut flavours
• 10.00) and the Carpaccio of Scottish salmon with horseradish

• A good thing about my special diet is that I can eat some cheese which is pretty much the only option I have in restaurants for dessert
• It was a bit plain but the restaurant is not responsible for that
• He took the hazelnut and caramel cheesecake which was a buttery biscuit base topped with a rich creamy soft cheese and caramel
• What I really liked about the Worlds End Market is its concept of offering the very best &ldquo
• The products were very good quality but prices were a bit high but then again you are in the heart of Chelsea
• The team was very nice with me but they didn't really have any good alternative apart from just avoiding things and have plain food
• It would have been nice for example to have a butter sauce with parsley but no garlic to go with my lobster
• S perhaps worth mentioning that the options for vegetarians are quite limited
• S End Market excels is in very good quality meat and fish
• The meat is properly aged and stored while the fish is on display with sourcing clearly marked on the menu
• S End Market is the second venture of the Markets Group which opened The Crystal Palace Market restaurant earlier last year
• To the competitive London restaurant scene by focusing on unfussy cooking using the best quality local ingredients
• With the result being primarily grilled fish and meats with classic sauces
• Despite its name and the feeling of many Chelsea residents is not at the end of the world

• It also reminded me there is an amazing Oxfam near by
• T necessarily a bad thing when everything else nearby is so Sloaney
