Admittedly I have a childlike obsession with Jamie Oliver and having the opportunity to to go to his restaurant in Covent Garden was something like putting a small child in a toy shop!
He was and still is my inspiration for the need to create flavorful, wonderful and dare I say “Pukka” food. OK, so I suppose you wondering what the Restaurant is like? It’s a bustling unassuming place and very down to earth , which is what I would expect from Jamie. The food was simple, very tasty and the produce used was impeccable. I had the antipasti , so that I can taste more than one dish, the buffalo mozzarella was melt in your mouth.I also had the meat Plank which was a long board filled with gorgeous meats and cheese. It was placed onto big Italian tomato tins which looked rather rustic but cool! For dessert I had the Almond tart which was heavenly (and I am not a massive dessert eater) however the occasion arose and one should always take advantage of such situations ……
