🇬🇧 Must-Try French in London | MEDLAR 🇫🇷
📍 SW10 0LH Tucked away in Chelsea, MEDLAR is a Michelin-listed (but unstarred) French gem with serious ingredient game. We tried their £53 3-course lunch menu—no regrets. 🥗 Starters ▫️ Crab Raviolo 🦀 Jumbo pasta stuffed with crab, topped with shrimp, samphire (a crunchy coastal veg), and bisque sauce—sweet, oceanic bliss. ▫️ Roast Pork Loin 🐖 Crispy skin meets salsa verde, with bitter tardive leaves cutting through richness. ▫️ Halibut Ceviche 🐟 Buttery-soft fish + avocado mousse = citrusy heaven. 🍗 Mains ▫️ Roast Coquelet 🐔 Tender French spring chicken with asparagus, morels, and pillowy gnocchi. ▫️ Cornish Lamb Rump 🐑 No gaminess! Olive tapenade, potato terrine, and silky lamb tongue (yes, really). ▫️ Cornish Wild Bass 🎣 Crispy skin, delicate flesh, drizzled with Japanese soy—fusion done right. 🍰 Desserts ▫️ Warm Chocolate Mousse 🍫 Rich but cloying after a few bites. ▫️ Buttermilk Panna Cotta 🍓 Tart buttermilk + French vanilla strawberries = elegant. ▫️ Kesar Mango Financier 🥭 Indian mango meets French butter cake—tropical meets Parisian. 💰 £53pp (lunch steal!) 📞 Book ahead! #FrenchInLondon #ChelseaEats #MichelinHiddenGem #LondonFoodie
