Restaurant Review: Hedone, London - The New York Times

Review analysis
food  

Chiswick, with its quiet streets and suburban serenity, seems an unlikely place for one of London’s most innovative restaurants.

Indeed, when Mikael Jonsson, a Swedish-born chef, opened Hedone, his first restaurant, in July, he knew West London was a risk.

Within one month of opening, Hedone was booked solid virtually every night — impressive considering that it is 40 minutes by public transit from central London.

Sautéed girolle mushrooms mimicked a forest floor, upon which slices of rare Sika venison rested.

Mr. Jonsson proudly serves his birds with their feet on “to remind people that it comes from an animal and arrives whole in the restaurant and not in a plastic bag,” he said.

We had the 2 course set lunch at £8.90 with the soup of the day and stir fried shredded duck as starters, followed by a pork stew and a roast duck special (requiring a £6 supplement) as main courses.

The stir fried shredded duck with mushrooms and garlic was quite good.

I was a little upset but actually this soup was quite good too and it also had the sour cream.

I had anticipated – from its name – a stew comprised of bits of pork with a little chorizo and vegetables.

What actually arrived on my plate was a pork loin fillet accompanied by a chorizo stew and topped with carrot and parsnip.

London Dining (and Lodging) Review: Hélène Darroze at the ...

Ms. Darroze (who divides most of her time between London and her restaurant in Paris) is an appealing, earnest chef who puts a modern, luxurious spin on the cooking and ingredients of her native South-West France, leavened with flavors from elsewhere in Europe and from Asia.

A clever and delicious variant on squash ravioli -- with crushed amaretti re-baked to heighten crunch and taste, sage in two flavorful forms (crisp leaves and aromatic foam), little blobs of mostarda di Cremona, roasted squash nuggets and surprising but harmonious chunks of tender lobster -- was marred, though not gravely, by the gummy pasta jackets of the plump ravioli.

Other highlights (and despite my quibble about its pasta, the delightful squash dish was a highlight) were a Jerusalem artichoke tart scented with Ibérico de bellota ham, on a fragile sablé base, generously topped with sliced black truffles and served with a flute of artichoke soup -- one of those dishes whose aroma heralds its arrival from three meters away; marble-sized balls of foie gras rolled in minced truffle and served with pretty apple nuggets, discs of celeriac and wine gel; and, maybe best of all, perfect hake (from the fishing boat Nahikari, which puts in at the Basque port of Saint-Jean de Luz) with piquillo pepper, crisp-fried slices of early-season artichokes from the Italian Riviera and chorizo broth.

This latter dish illustrates how Ms. Darroze's cooking is simultaneously well grounded and up to date: the flavors are quite traditional, but they are lifted by precise execution and imaginative re-thinking.

Another such example might have been the lamb dish, with three cuts of baby lamb from the Basque country sharing the plate with small, particularly delicious -- and not floury -- chickpeas and grapes with an almost heady perfume, except... Well, here I am crossing into the territory of preferences, but I am surely not alone in feeling that lamb of such a young age is not pleasant to eat when left rare to the point of flaccidity, as the rib chop was on this plate.

Restaurant of the week: Brasserie Zedel | London Evening Standard

ES Food Newsletter On the top right-hand corner of the menu at Brasserie Zédel is the message “Full English version menu on request”.

Canny owners Christopher Corbin and Jeremy King, with this behemoth of a dining hall — previously Oliver Peyton’s Atlantic Bar Grill — were presumably thinking ahead and wondering how it will play in Peoria, Illinois.

The food is excitingly cheap in parts — vichyssoise and oeufs dur mayonnaise at £2.75; filets de hareng, pommes à l’huile at £3.75; huitre Fine de Claire at £1.95 each; boeuf Bourguignon at £9.75; goujonettes, sauce tartare at £10.50; side dishes all £2.50 and desserts starting with éclair Paris-Brest at £2.75.

However, you will eat better here than in comparable establishments in Paris and there is much else to enjoy such as the details of the Art Deco design in posters, murals and carpet, drinking in the Bar Américain, the possibility of cabaret at The Crazy Coqs and a croissant in the ground floor ZL Café, which moodily gives away no inkling of the swish vibrancy below.
