π¬π§ London | I'd Choose You Again in a Heartbeat π¦
That would be πLita's Lobster Rice β£οΈ Still unmatched after all this time. Every bite is an emotional experience - soul-soothing, mind-cleansing... okay, getting abstract but SERIOUSLY, it's that good. Told my friends next time we're each getting our OWN portion - that's all we need for a perfect meal. ππ Rating: 3.5+/5 The lobster rice deserves a pilgrimage. Skip the desserts (landmines!), but everything else is solid (though better value exists elsewhere). π¦ Lobster Rice | Β£75 π«Άπ» If you're not obsessed, you just don't love it enough. My devotion? I'd never betray this dish. It's perfection on a plate. π¦ Devon Duck | Β£104 ππ» Huge portion for two. The sauce? Make-or-break - bland without it, divine with it (though gets heavy). π¦ Langoustine | Β£52 ππ» Oil-poached = fragrant but not my vibe. Love langoustines, but prefer them raw. π¦ Sicilian Prawn Carpaccio | Β£27 ππ» Delicious red shrimp sashimi - just laughably small (palm-sized, 2mm thin). Scraping the plate yields two spoonfuls max. But THIS is how I love raw prawns! Imagine if the langoustine came like this... π Beetroot Salad | Β£20 ππ» Possibly the best beetroot dish ever. Three varieties - cubed (fresh/sweet), sliced (pickled/tangy). Refreshing AF. π Scallops | Β£29 ππ» Apple-matchstick pairing = light starter. But where's my buttery seared scallop?? π° Almond Cake | Β£17 ππ» Balanced... if you dodge the rhubarb (super sour!). Fluffy cake + sweet syrup + ice cream = yes. That white cheese layer? Vomit-inducing. π§ Amalfi | Β£17 ππ» Sugar bomb with a hint of acid. Just... no. ππ Address: Lita Marylebone 7-9 Paddington Street, London, W1U 5QH π°π° Price per person: Β£100-150+ πΈπΈ Actual spend: Β£210pp (worth it for that rice!) β¨ Why it shines: β Lobster rice = legendary β Upscale but unstuffy - perfect for special nights β That beetroot salad = unexpected star π’ Worth every penny for the lobster rice alone! π¦π· β€οΈ Lobster love forever! π¦ Duck = sauce-dependent! π£ Prawn carpaccio = tiny but mighty! π± Beetroot revelation! π° Dessert danger zone! πΈ Plate-licking worthy! #UK #LondonMichelin #LondonRestaurants #Foodie #LondonDining #VibeDining #MichelinStar #LondonMichelin1Star #HiddenGems #FoodExplorer #GourmetUniverse #GlobalFoodieAwards
