🇬🇧 London Dining | The Lychee Sorbet of My Memories
Solip, the innovative Michelin-starred fusion restaurant, presents a tasting menu that masterfully blends French techniques with global ingredients and Korean-inspired seasonings. While this season's offering delivers exceptional flavors, the portions lean petite—seven courses (including desserts) left me craving more. Every dish impressed with creativity, particularly the desserts that even won over this non-sweet-tooth diner (wish they were available à la carte!). 🌟 Standout Courses Opening Trilogy: Hoe (sashimi), spicy Beef Tartare, and Gamtae (seaweed crisp)—a perfect flavor awakening Scallop, Hwangtae, Speckled Lentils: Delicate seafood meets earthy pulses Daikon Tarte Tatin 2.0: The signature reinvented—radish slices mimicking dessert (brilliant trompe-l'œil!) Monkfish, Red Cabbage, Elderberry, Passion Fruit: Vibrant acidity cutting through rich fish Strip Loin, Black Bean, Salsify, Deoduck: Perfectly executed steak with umami mushrooms 🌟 Dessert Triumphs Lychee & Jasmine Sorbet: A Proustian rush—childhood Lychee Shaved Ice reimagined with floral elegance Black Pain Perdu: Sesame indulgence meets seoritae ice cream's nutty depth Petits Fours: Kugelhopf Madeleine & Quince Guimauve—whimsical finale Note: The Nurungji (soy-cured rice crisps with celery root) divided our table—an acquired texture. 📍 Solip Unit 1, 8 Melior St, London SE1 3QP 💡 Pro Tip: Ideal for special occasions; book ahead for this intimate 22-seater #LondonFoodGuide #MichelinDining #LondonRestaurants #HiddenGems #FusionCuisine #TastingMenu #LondonFoodie #MichelinStar #LondonEats #FoodInnovation
