• In this context it is the name of a restaurant in Notting Hill
• The menu here is Mediterranean
• Rabah Ourrad is the head chef
• The restaurant is in a parade of shops and has a casual feel to it
• With a bar to one side and a pleasant area at the back with a skylight allowing in plenty of natural light
• The mark up level was quite high even by the demanding standards of London
• Though the Boulangerie de Paris sourdough was also excellent (easily 14/20)
• A free nibble was offered before the dishes arrived
• Topped with lobster bavarois with red pepper puré
• Then a layer of olive crumb with olive oil and coriander
• The slightly metallic taste of the red pepper was not the most obvious pairing for the lobster (13/20)

• Although the tomatoes were good the vanilla flavour was too strong for the rest of the dish (12/20)

• The sea bass was properly cooked (13/20)
• Lemon confit and an espuma with Parmesan and potato
• Risotto of girolles was the only duff dish that we tried
• Either vinegar had been added or something had gone awry with the red wine reduction
• The resulting stock was far too sharp (10/20)
• Pulled pork was the dish of the night
• Daikon and champagne sorbet with citrus powder and absinthe foam was once strictly for lovers of absinthe

• The pairing with the chocolate logical (14/20)
