From Mayfair to Piccadilly

Saturday, November 16th , 2024

The Rex Deli is related to Cocochine opposite in Bruton place. It is that rarest of things, a bargain in Mayfair. The deli now does an early evening sit down service as well as just selling items, so you can eat the lovely sausage rolls (a bargain at £8, with homemade puff pastry) and other items while drinking a glass of wine. The prices are surprisingly fair, and yet the produce is made in the Cocochine kitchen, which is producing Michelin star-level food.   

The Ritz is my favourite London fine dining restaurant, and I have reviewed it many times. I keep returning here for the simple reason that it is the best restaurant in the capital, with food objectively better than any of the multi-Michelin-starred places in London. Add in the glorious 1906 dining room, silky smooth service and prices that these days seem almost moderate by central London standards, and it is the complete package.
