🇬🇧 London’s Hidden Gem: The Cocochine (Michelin-Worthy & Affordabl
📍 The Cocochine (Mayfair) A collab between Sri Lankan chef Larry Jayasekara and art-world legend Tim Jefferies, this 4-story townhouse serves modern French with global twists—£49 for 3 courses at lunch (steal!). 🍽️ Lunch Set Menu Highlights: 🦞 Amuse-Bouche: Lobster croquette + cheese snow—light but luxe. 🍞 Bread & Butter: Onion brioche with truffle butter (obsession-worthy). 🥟 Scottish Lobster Raviolo: Plump pasta stuffed with king crab—first-timer’s dream. 🐔 Chicken Pie: Skip (too stodgy), but the lamb shoulder (friend’s pick) = solid. 🍮 "Watalappam" Dessert: Ice cream + crisps + caviar + Sri Lankan caramel—salty-sweet magic. 🍰 Madeleine: Gingery and warm—petit four perfection. ✨ Why Go? Empty at lunch = VIP treatment (but 15% service charge). Post-meal = Bond Street shopping spree (3 mins away). #LondonEats #MichelinGuide #AffordableLuxury
