London Spagnoletti | A Michelin-Starred Restaurant with Full Marks π
The head chef of this restaurant, Adam Simmonds, has received two Michelin stars, so my expectations were high when I visited this restaurant for a meal. The interior design of the restaurant is inspired by Charles Spagnoletti, a 19th-century London engineer and inventor responsible for developing the telegraph signal system used first on the metropolitan line and then on most British railways passing through King's Cross Station. The restaurant is also named after him, Spagnoletti. Dishes: π½οΈ TUNA LOIN, WATERMELON: ββββ The tuna is very fresh, and the square piece is quite large. It's paired with a secret sauce that makes for a very satisfying bite! Accompanied by a few slices of watermelon, it gives you a very fresh sensation, making it perfect as a starter. π GRILLED OCTOPUS: ββββ The octopus legs are grilled to a soft texture, and served with many sliced potatoes, which are a bit bland. The octopus itself tastes good, but some parts are a bit bitter from the grilling. Overall, it's still quite good! Additionally, the olives in the dish are very rich. π PICI, CACIO E PEPE, TRUFFLE: βββββ This is one of the best truffle pasta dishes I've ever had. You can tell the pasta is handmade, with a chewy texture, and the sauce is rich but not greasy! You can actually taste bits of real truffle, not just a pure sauce. π¦ TORTIGLIONI, PRAWN: βββββ I didn't have high expectations for this dish, but it was surprisingly delicious! Large hollow pasta with an Asian-style flavor, the sauce has a hint of shrimp head, which is very fresh and slightly spicy, making it very tasty! π MAFALDE, SLOW-COOKED BEEF: βββββ This dish is flawless, a classic slow-cooked beef Italian rolled pasta. Just order it, you won't be disappointed. Price per person: Β£20-25 It's recommended to order 5-6 dishes for two people, as the restaurant leans towards a tapas style, so the portions aren't very large! #100RestaurantsChallenge #HiddenGemRestaurants #GlobalFoodTroops #RestaurantRecommendations #MichelinRestaurants #AtmosphereRestaurants #DateNightRestaurants #LondonRestaurants #LondonLife #LondonEats
