Corrigan's Mayfair restaurant review 2010 July London | British ...

The menu is extremely appealing, with a large number of dishes that you actually might want to eat: no hypermodern lunacy of rhinoceros foam or texture of sea slug here, but choices such as roast partridge with bread sauce and grouse pie.

Other dishes sampled included an enjoyable linguine with bone marrow and red wine, an excellent roast foie gras with Heritage apples, and a less successful brandade with suffered from a bed of over acidic onions.

Main course was an enjoyable dish of venison (£19) served partly as slices of nicely cooked meat, and partly served within pastry, a sort of deer Wellington.

Other dishes tried included a very well cooked piece of excellent turbot that was probably the dish of the night, and enjoyable John Dory with Jerusalem artichokes and langoustine sauce.

Coffee was of good quality and came with very good petit fours, including a capable macaroon and an excellent mini lemon tart (16/20).

Restaurant review: Corrigan's Mayfair

Corrigan's in Mayfair: restaurant review - Telegraph

My friend was inside being informed by a bunch of hard-hats: "Oh, the restaurant's shut, mate.

In the trade, we sometimes talk of restaurants enjoying "soft openings", when friends, family and eager journalists are shipped in for free meals before the official opening.

If Angela Hartnett's Murano is a fantastic bargain, Corrigan's blows me away: a fine two-course lunch and carafe of wine for £19.50.

There's a flutter of excitement when the restaurateur Mark Hix, who I ran into recently at Murano, joins Richard Corrigan for a snifter at the bar, but I'm starting to suspect Hix is either following me or spends his entire life visiting restaurants rather than cooking in them.

Oddly for a hotel restaurant, you cannot leave the place through the Grosvenor and are deposited in the street.

Restaurant review: Corrigan's Mayfair, 28 Grosvenor Street, London ...

Dinner, Mon-Sat, 6-11pm When it comes to cooks, I'm with Julius Caesar (as sampled by Shakespeare): "Let me have chefs about me that are fat; Sleek-headed men and such as sleep at nights."

I know Leigh barely and Corrigan not at all, but you have only to gaze upon these boys from afar to picture all-day boozing sessions followed by gigantic dinners necessitating the use of the bedside stomach pump for such as would sleep at night.

The service is magnificent, the pricing policy carefully calibrated (the partridge apart; see below) for these challenging times (at £23.50 for three courses, with a 250ml carafe of wine chucked in, the set menu is a beauty), and the place is well designed to entice you to linger.

There is plenty of fish and no shortage of other meats, but as befits one who grew up poaching for the pot in bucolic Ireland, Corrigan is passionate about game and cooks it superbly.

"Simply the best venison dish I've ever had," enthused my friend, enraptured by huge chunks of stunningly good, ruby-red roe served en croute with pickled red cabbage and a "wonderful" cep sauce.

Restaurant Review – Corrigan's Mayfair | The London Economic

Tucked away on Mayfair’s Grosvenor Street, Richard Corrigan’s eponymous restaurant isn’t so much of an Irish restaurant, but a quintessentially British restaurant owned by an Irish chef.

No less, usually one to avoid desserts (or to opt for the cheese, as we did for a gluttonous forth course) the rhubarb crumble soufflé is the best thing eaten here.

A welcome retreat from classic chocolate, banana or pistachio – the soufflé at Corrigan’s Mayfair makes use of my personal favourite vegetable.

Perhaps needless to say, the cheese selection at Corrigan’s Mayfair is also impressive, vaunting a number of British and Irish cheeses, glamorously presented and served from a classic trolley.

Fitting with the overall ambience here, service that’s efficient but never overbearing and, of course, the high-quality food served: Corrigan’s Mayfair is a rare breed of high-end restaurant that refrains from favouring style over substance.
