🇬🇧 London’s Row on 5｜Second Visit & New Menu = Pure Magic! 🫧✨
Row on 5 might be a new Michelin star, but it’s already topped every other starred meal I’ve had in London! After my first visit, I swore I’d return—and thanks to my friend’s birthday, I got to relive the magic. This time? Mind-blowing. If I could only recommend one Michelin spot, it’d be Row on 5—no contest. 🌟 Booking Notes: Reservations don’t require months of planning (phew!), but £300 deposit is required. Opted for lunch again: 15-course menu (actually 14 + optional £40 caviar upgrade). Duration: ~3 hours of pure bliss. 🍽️ New Menu Verdict: Changes are subtle—most signature dishes remain, with tweaks like swapping mango dessert for peach (even better now!). If you’re expecting a total overhaul, maybe wait—but for me, perfection needs no revolution. 🌿 Flavor Mastery: Their seasoning is Goldilocks-level "just right"—balanced sweet, sour, and salty without overpowering. As someone who often finds fine dining too acidic/salty, this was a revelation. Plus, the sauces felt made for Asian palates. 💗 Thoughtful Touches: Last time, they missed my "no raw meat" request—this time? Every dish adapted flawlessly. 👏 Petits fours now let you choose desserts (progress!). Birthday surprise: A singing mini-cake (initially cringe, until every table got one—hilarious! 😆). 🥢 Personalized Service: Staff remembered me from last visit (!), even joked about my growing "chopstick collection" (now at two pairs—soon a family set? 🫣). 💰 Damage: Tasting menu: £250pp Wagyu upgrade: £40pp Total for two: £724.50 (£362.25pp) #LondonMichelin #FineDiningLondon #RowOn5 #MichelinStar #FoodieHeaven
