🇬🇧 Lita Marylebone: A Michelin Star Disappointment 💫😕

📍 ​​Lita Marylebone​​ A Michelin-starred bistro that fell short of expectations - at £160pp, only one dish truly impressed. 🍽️ ​​The Good:​​ 1️⃣ ​​T-Bone Steak​​ Finally, a properly cooked steak in the UK! The salted pork-like flavor was interesting, and the 36-month Parmigiano Reggiano was perfectly mild and creamy. 2️⃣ ​​Strozzapretti Duck Ragu​​ Tasty, though the duck flavor was MIA. The pasta itself was well-executed. 🚫 ​​The Bad:​​ 1️⃣ ​​Scallops (£29)​​ Paper-thin slices of (admitted) non-fresh scallops with zero texture or sweetness. Pickle seasoning was nice, but this wasn’t worth £4, let alone £29. 2️⃣ ​​Beef Tartare (£25)​​ Decent flavor, but more suited to a £7 pub snack than a fine-dining price tag. 3️⃣ ​​Dessert (£17)​​ Basic mango jam vibes - not terrible, but not worth £17. 💁 ​​Service:​​ Polite but ineffective. When we pointed out issues (like the scallops), they acknowledged them… but didn’t offer replacements. Compared to countryside hospitality, London complacency shows. 💸 ​​Final Verdict:​​ Overpriced for what you get. The steak was the only standout, but at £95, it should be life-changing - not just "okay." #LondonEats #MichelinStar #FoodieFails #OverpricedLondon #Marylebone #FineDining
