Remember when London dining had no respect?

Ooopppps . sent too soon. More in this exquisite luncheon.

. . . maybe ancient history for many here . . . but no longer true. For friends & others, sharing an exquisite lunch today!

Succulent oysters on the half shell from Carlingford, Ireland

One of the top three filet mignon steaks I’ve ever had (can’t exactly remember the others, but at this level, it’s hard to define!) . . . with fabulous frites. Served with chimichurri sauce (as an accommodation to my GF & DF restrictions)

And a breathtaking Bordeau

oh my! They set a lovely table for this presentation..elegant!

I spent a lot of time in London in the late 90s and the dining was exquisite then! The days of spotted dick and bubble and squeak were waning!

The 80s, John, not so good . . . early 90s, beginning of a transition.
