The Square – London
December 2nd, 2009. Posted by luane
Phil Howard’s The Square restaurant is my favourite fine dinner in London. He changes the menu often to reflect the seasons and his food is really well crafted, with only the best quality ingredients used.
We would have had lots more shots of food only Sam and I left our camera in a taxi in Paris and lost all of our holiday and dinner snaps to a nasty cab driver.
Back to the restaurant, the well renowned gnocchi and scampi dish is famous for good reason, and my eel salad with lots of beautiful flavours and textures was one of my favourite dishes of 2008. As it was September when we visited I had to have Grouse and wasn’t disappointed. Sam’s turbot was cooked to a moment and so moist and delicious, I love this king of flat fish.
We skipped dessert on that trip and went straight to nougat and coffee as we were doing more stars that day.
On other visits the pastry section has been on fire. There is a great wine list and knowledgeable staff. A fantastic front of house team finishes off a well rounded restaurant experience. I always wonder why this isn’t a three star restaurant, as to me it ticks all the boxes!
