There’s a new gem in Hatton Garden- and it’s “Anglo.” Opened just last week, Anglo is bringing the best of British fine dining to a contemporary restaurant in the heart of London. The tasting menu is an inspired, showcase of culinary skills from the accomplished, Chef Mark Jarvis, formerly at The Bingham, Blueprint Cafe, Zuma, Texture and Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, alongside esteemed head chef, Jack Cashmore, of Sat Bains and In De Wul.
The seven course tasting menu is actually more like ten, terrific courses. Served to the table by the modest chefs themselves, each dish is executed perfectly, and meticulously arranged with finesse. The clever combination of beetroot served as a creamy purée, with diced beetroot, rolled in a delicate, crisp, cone worked beautifully.
Adorned with edible flowers, came the delightful Loch Duart salmon tartare with dashi.
The bitesize, crumbly, burnt leek tartlet was light and airy with a crisp pastry shell.
The St Georges mushrooms were tossed in a mouth-watering, rich sauce.
The stone bass with white asparagus and mussels was elegant and fresh.
The Longhorn beef aged for forty-nine days was succulent, and juicy, served with glazed shallots and wild garlic.
Before the eagerly anticipated desserts, came malt loaf, finely sliced onion topped with melted, mature cheese.
Desserts were sensational. The lemon curd served with sorbet shavings and fennel was summery and refreshing.
The cold yoghurt smothered in a warm, sweet, silky, decadent chocolate sauce, topped with a floral, chocolate pistachio crisp was truly divine. It will leave you scraping the plate, however dessert didn’t end there.
A refined rhubarb and of custard topped with flaky pastry. Each course tasted just as phenomenal on the palate as it did pretty on the plate.
It’s exciting to be one of the first to try this exceptional menu. Anglo is rather trendy, and modern and perfect for an intimate celebration. It’s set to be one of the best restaurants in Farringdon. Be sure to check it out.
