Restaurant Review: Four Degree, One St George Wharf in Vauxhall ...

Nick Constance probes the facts Located at the foot of London’s tallest residential building, (Vauxhall Tower) the newly-opened Four Degree is a “contemporary Japanese restaurant with a modern European twist”.

Specialising in fresh seafood and delicate cocktails, it’s also home to the UK’s first Macallan Whisky lounge.

He has fashioned a menu merging Japanese and French specialities, such as foie gras teriyaki and grilled Wagyu Sirloin with Ponzu sauce.

Heeju was my referee, for the night, with red and yellow cards at the ready.

In fact, Four Degree is officially my new favourite ‘Asian-inspired’ restaurant in London.

Jean-Georges at the Connaught, London W1, restaurant review ...

(In contrast, for my 21st in 1985, Dad took me out for gnocchi at Di’s favourite, San Lorenzo).

Still, the Connaught remained a place on which I looked very fondly anytime I passed through its doors for a Do – as opposed to a Di – or a cocktail.

And now here we both were, three and a half decades on, at the Connaught’s new take on “informal gourmet dining” (there are actual take-away pizzas) – though my ever-dapper dad was wearing a tie.

declared Dad of the chairs, while of the heavy curvy tables with large circular marble bases, “Look!

The George Grill, Rye, East Sussex, restaurant review - Telegraph

Sniggering Londoners, vacuously vain in their sham sophistication and mincing metrosexuality, are abidingly fond of saying that whenever they are forced to leave the capital, they fall victim to a staggering regression in time: that with every 10 miles travelled, the cutting-edge zeitgeist retreats by a decade.

Rye is medieval – fine Queen Anne and early Georgian buildings are the parvenu upstarts here – but the real and true joy of the place is that it is completely unbuggered-up.

The Josper is a sort of combination grill and oven – wood-fired, bewilderingly expensive, and also still just about fashionable – so when a place is the smug possessor of one of these, it tends to trumpet the fact loudly while getting its money’s worth by cooking in it practically everything, not necessarily to the benefit of the food.

The room is by no means how you would imagine a Grill in an old hotel in an ancient place to look.

Mains were poached sea trout with ratte potatoes, cherry tomatoes, “sea vegetables”, and an oyster beurre blanc; and a rib-eye supplied by the excellent Aberdeenshire butcher Donald Russell, and cooked on our old friend Señor Josper.

Jean-Georges at the Connaught, London restaurant review | Life ...

The newly opened restaurant on the conservatory side of the Connaught hotel with its stained-glass windows like sweet-wrappers and its irritatingly low, badly engineered tables, belongs to Alsatian-American chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

I have spent atrocious amounts of my own money at his flagship high-end restaurant in New York, simply called Jean-Georges, chasing the moment.

And now here he is with this new place in the Connaught called, bravely, Jean-Georges, as if it were a direct sibling of the Trump Tower site.

But don’t pout too much about that my love, because look: here are warm beignets of Comté cheese and black truffle to make things better.

We order the fontina cheese and black truffle pizza as a kind of mid-course.
