Food Review: Minimalistic Manuka Kitchen lets its food do the talking

It's not been an easy ride for Tyler and business partner Joseph, the charming and hospitable front of house part of the team and who originates from Lebanon, to get the compact restaurant open for business.

The focal point is the open kitchen where Tyler and his assistant can be seen turning out some splendid food, matched by a small well chosen affordable wine list.

She eagerly tucked into her main of an attractive looking plate of rabbit, venison sausage and a well constructed light thyme and cream sauce with perfectly cooked rigatoni (pasta) (£10).

Joseph's recommendation of the Manuka honey and saffron brulee (£5) turned out to be a great pud with the rich and intense flavour of the honey and saffron flavouring adding an interesting taste to the traditional brulee recipe.

It's refreshing to see a 'normal' restaurant open with no frills or gimmicks that just wants to deliver good food at decent prices, especially for this area of west London.

Manuka Kitchen, 510 Fulham Road, London SW6 | The Independent

The owners seem to have chosen the name simply to suggest a) Kiwi influences in the kitchen, b) some healing effects and c) a hefty outlay of money.

The chef, Tyler Martin, is indeed a Kiwi, from New Plymouth on the north island, and the restaurant that he and his Lebanese business partner, Joseph Antippa, have just opened does bring balm to the soul – but without it costing the earth.

There are All-Day plates (corn fritters with bacon and cream, fabulous eggs Benedict, tortilla with goat's cheese) and cheap Hot Rolls (meatballs with cheddar and jalapenos, 'steak sarnie', roasted pork with pickles and red cabbage, all £5 or £6) and Small and Large sharing plates, served with artistry and style.

This dish offered a standard sirloin, with beef tartare and a beef croquette, served with Parmentier potatoes.

All tips go to the staff" The sharing plates at Marylebone's new hit restaurant focus on regional Argentina; try the grilled octopus and leeks, with potato and tuna mayo.

Salt and Honey, London: restaurant review and peanut butter pretzel ...

This sister restaurant to acclaimed Fulham bistro Manuka Kitchen has just opened in Connaught Village, a quiet neighbourhood just north of Hyde Park in London.

Head chef and co-owner Tyler Martin has come over from Manuka Kitchen to oversee the cooking and is mixing up a similar blend of casual bistro with little Antipodean touches (he’s originally from New Zealand).

Peanut butter pretzel tart is rightly famous at Manuka Honey and has been imported onto the menu here (see ‘you might also like’ below for the recipe).

At first the combination of salty pretzel tart crust, rich chocolate filling and peanut butter cream felt OTT, but miraculously disappeared after a few spoonfuls.

Good value: starters from £4.50 to £9.50, mains from £11.50-£22.00, desserts, £4.00-£6.50 wine from £5.50 glass, £17.50 bottle You might also like:

Salt & Honey, London W2 – restaurant review | Marina O'Loughlin ...

And what possessed the owners of Salt & Honey to decide on this location for their second restaurant?

It styles itself a “neighbourhood bistro”, but one where the bolognese is made with wagyu and everything that stands still long enough is truffled: truffle honey, truffled corn velouté, truffle mash, french fries with truffle oil.

It’s a dish imported from their sister restaurant, Manuka Kitchen in Fulham, pleasant enough, if a little hair-shirted.

I’m generally not hung up on knowing my dinner’s name and address, but real, fat-marbled wagyu beef is rare and wildly expensive, so using it to sauce pasta seems about as smart as putting Tilda Swinton in Next.
