LANGOUSTINE, PORK FAT, BURNT APPLE SEA BASS, AUBERGINE, TOMATO We followed with the stunning SMOKEY SUMMERS a Sea Bass with Aubergine & Tomato. Next to come was the CONQUERING THE BEECH TREE This was an amazing dish combining Langoustine, Pork Fat & Burnt Apple to which when all mixed together to leave your palate dancing with delight. With this we received a nice surprise from sommelier Angelo as he poured us a complimentary glass of Vignerons Giachino Ma Douce a fabulous fruity french red wine to pair with the dish. MOTHER’S POTATO SALAD To create a fantastic dish using the humble potato is nothing short of genius and this Potato, Truffle & Artichoke dish was just that. RICOTTA, PEACH, BEANS SCALLOP, CUCUMBER, ALMOND This was followed by the DAZZLING NEW HEIGHTS a delightful and refreshing Scallop, Cucumber & Almond. The creaminess and slight richness from the ricotta & beans mixed with the freshness of the peach gazpacho leaves your palate in heaven. JUST DOWN THE ROAD We now moved on to the next course of Ricotta, Peach & Beans that was an absolute flavour sensation. Now it was time to meet sommelier Angelo who recommended a fabulous 2018 Holger Koch Grauburgunder to compliment perfectly with the majority of the menu.įOREVER PICKLING This is where it all begins with a delightful selection of snacks including Turnips, Crab & the Muse version of KFC along with Bread and heavenly Chicken Butter. We without any hesitation decided to opt for the eight courses. Once comfortable we were shown the menu to which there was a choice of the five or eight course tasting menus for lunch. Once comfortable the rest of the staff took the opportunity to say thanks for visiting the restaurant again. Here we would be seated at the counter in the same seats as our previous visit. We entered the restaurant and received a delightful welcome back before being escorted upstairs to the main dining area. The restaurant itself is in a nice quiet location in the Belgravia area. I can tell you now that if we thought our first visit was amazing then our second was absolutely stunning. This enhanced our desire to return at the earliest opportunity and yesterday was the day when we indeed had that chance. We first had the pleasure of visiting Muse back in december where we enjoyed an incredible dining experience. The price point is quite high, but it’s mostly justified by the personal nature of the experience.What an absolute fabulous little restaurant this place is. It’s set, with the option of either six (£95) or ten (£145) courses. The menu opens like a pop-up storybook for kids, recreating the building’s shape in a very charming (and Instagrammable) fashion. It must not be easy for a temperamental chef to be working right in front of his guests, with no filter: a continuous exercise in self-control and discreet whispering. Upstairs, a cosy dining room hosts 20 guests, including another marbled counter, shared with the restaurant’s kitchen. On the ground floor there’s the bar-cum-dessert kitchen, with a big marble counter where diners can enjoy their meal, and also a few seats to sip cocktails and liquors. Stepping in, you enter a tiny house decorated in pink and beige palettes.
MUSE TOM AIKENS WINDOWS
The windows are half covered, the lights warm and soft. A glossy black door bears no sign or name.
If you pass by without knowing there’s a restaurant there, you won’t notice it. Six years after closing his flagship restaurant in Chelsea, he has now joined the even more exclusive neighbourhood of Belgravia with Muse, a tiny two-storey, private club-like affair. Tom Aikens, once the enfant prodige – and terrible – of the British food scene, has come back to the fine-dining circle.
