Texture Restaurant

Texture serves modern European food with Scandinavian influences

Texture | Michelin starred restaurant | Portman Street, Marylebone

My cooking style is modern European with Scandinavian influences.

I am a great believer in cooking light and healthy food that does not make you feel uncomfortably full, so I restrict the use of cream and butter, and I only use minimal quantities of sugar.

Texture, Marylebone: restaurant review | Foodism

But at Aggi Sverrisson’s Michelin-starred restaurant and champagne bar – where a pared-back Scandi aesthetic meets Nordic cooking techniques and refined, French-style service – it certainly doesn’t feel like it.

You’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t indulge in a little wine pairing here.

Texture’s extensive list is overseen by head sommelier Cyrielle Mascaro – formerly of Michelin-starred La Tour D’Argent and two-Michelin-starred La Table du Lancaster – and, if you want to try something a little different, she’s on hand to help you put your palate to the test.

We tried everything from a flinty Pouilly-Fumé, La Moynerie 2015, with our aforementioned crab to an almost chocolate-rich Bukkuram Sole D’Agosto, a dessert wine from the Italian appelation of Passito di Pantelleria, with our cherry and chocolate pudding.

Dishes from £18, wine from £8 by the glass; 34 Portman Street W1H 7BY.

Restaurant Review: Texture, Portman Street, London | Luxury ...

Champagne bar and Michelin starred restaurant as one, Texture champions the fresh dynamics of Scandinavian cuisine with an impressive collection of champagne and fine wines which unite to create an unexampled conceptualisation.

The staff at Texture seem to know what I need before I do and we are comfortably seated abreast its champagne collection which allows for snapshots through to the bustle of the kitchen beyond.

A Vanilla ice cream with rye bread crumbs and alphonso mango comes with a 2012 tokaj szamorodni, itsván szepsy from Hungary.

An entourage that includes a Michelin star, The Independent New Restaurant of the Year in 2007, Best Newcomer at the Catey Awards in 2010, The UK’s Best Wine List, The 2012 National Restaurant Awards and 4 AA Rosettes more recently in 2015 each speak for themselves and conclude in a refreshingly distinct creation.

To top this off Texture also hosted a one-off evening with Gaia Gaja of Gaja Winery to celebrate a decade of paired wines and dishes.

The dishes at Texture are imaginative, intelligent and playful in equal measure, with contrast playing a leading role.

The fact that a main course comes with chips is exemplary of just how unpretentious this Michelin-starred restaurant is.

The atmosphere Handled wrongly, the high-ceilinged, pale-coloured dining room at Texture could be austere, and its nature-a-like wooden decorations pretentious — but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

It is obviously not just Agnar Sverrisson’s menu that embraces contrast.

Given that Texture’s combination of creative cuisine and Champagne come at a cost, it is not surprising to find an abundance of corporate types with easy-going expense accounts.
