🇬🇧 The Ledbury: When Michelin Stars Meet Identity Crisis 🌟🍽️
At The Ledbury, London’s elusive 3-Michelin-starred enigma, you’ll pay £300pp to ponder: Is this genius or just very expensive confusion? My parents—notoriously hard-to-please—left weirdly satisfied, though we still can’t explain why. 📍 127 Ledbury Rd, W11 2AQ 🍽️ The Good, The Bad & The Truffle Scam: 🦐 "Japanese-Inspired" Starters – Shrimp tempura (more Cantonese than Kyoto) + peach-glazed crab (oddly refreshing). 🐟 Main Illusions – Scallops with plum sauce (where’s the scallop?), halibut in melon foam (pretty but vacant). 🍫 Dessert Letdown – Canned-level sweetness in fancy shapes (reused plating, oops). ⚠️ £70 Aussie Truffle – Tasted like bark (skip unless you enjoy burning money). ✨ Silver Linings: • Sauces – Fig-pistachio lamb jus = liquid gold. • Service – Impeccable (they almost make you forget the price tag). Would YOU pay £300 for sauce-drowned seafood? 💸 Sound off! #MichelinLondon #TheLedbury #FineDining #LondonEats #SplurgeWorthy
