Vinous Table: Tuscan Dinner @ 67 Pall Mall, London, UK
United Kingdom, Vinous Table
May 2023
,When I was invited to join a Tuscan-themed dinner in the private room at 67 Pall Mall, I eagerly accepted. I wanted to reacquaint myself with Tuscan wines and placate my palate, which was protesting that it wanted to taste anything other than Cabernet or Pinot Noir. The bottles were deeply impressive and showcased Tuscany at its best.

Vinous Table: Wilton's, London, UK
United Kingdom, Vinous Table
Mar 2023
,Wilton’s delivered. It’s not London’s trendiest restaurant. It predates Michelin stars and will probably outlive them. Wilton’s is the epitome of a gastronomic institution whose immutability is its strength, not a weakness.

Vinous Table: Kitchen W8, London, UK
United Kingdom, Vinous Table
Mar 2023
,Kitchen W8 is well worth seeking out. I enjoyed the local, relaxed ambiance, perhaps things moving at a slightly slower pace here than elsewhere in the city. Prices are more reasonable than many, especially for lunch and early evening, and the quality of cooking is very assured and unpretentious.
