A Michelin-Starred Bonfire Feast with Subtle Flavors
For my birthday restaurant crawl, I chose Humo London—a new Michelin-starred spot with a minimalist approach. While portions are small and pacing glacial, the flavors shine through with clean, ingredient-focused cooking. 🍽️ The Menu (À La Carte) We ordered 8 dishes across four categories (IGNITE/SMOKE/FLAME/EMBERS): 🐟 Yellowtail: Skipped (raw), but my friend loved it. 🍄 Mushrooms: Meaty texture with hazelnut crunch and saffron sauce—umami harmony. 🦞 Lobster: Scottish lobster in brown butter, balanced by sweet pumpkin purée. 🐚 Scallop: Seared to crisp-tender perfection, with pear cutting through whisky richness. 🐟 Trout: Firm flesh, chili flakes for heat, almond sauce for creaminess. 🐟 Turbot: Cooked just right with earthy artichoke purée. 🐑 Lamb: Aged to zero gaminess, juicy with beetroot’s tang. 🥩 A4 Wagyu: Marbled bliss—charred outside, melt-in-mouth inside. 💫 Service Wins Staff saved us from accidental raw orders (!) and surprised us with birthday choux puffs and a candle-lit stone cake (adorable!). 🎂 💰 Damage: £380 for two (worth it for special occasions). #MichelinLondon #SubtleFlavors #BirthdayEats #HumoLondon
