My first impression of the restaurant was that it was pretty intimate with only 26 seats while the decor was soft, elegant and romantic which was perfect for celebrations or a special night out.

“FOIE GRAS TERRINE” with duck foie gras terrine / spices & curry tuile / pommery mustard ice cream / blueberry sauce.

Only available on the Gastronomy menu, this dish alone was well worth the upgrade with its ingenious use of mustard ice cream to balance the richness of the foie gras terrine.

“WREATH” with lightly poached oyster / chinese licorice root oxtail consummè / kimchi pickled daikon /
sweetcorn kernels / braised wagyu beef tongue slice.

Another very impressive dish as I never knew that oyster and beef can go together so well like this.

I found the lobster a bit dry here while it could also be less cooked which would have been perfect.

Verdict - a well-deserved accolade for the chef at Tate with her gorgeous presentations, creative dishes and well-balanced flavors. I can't wait to come back and try her new creations in Spring.
