Laurent at Café Royal
Oscar Wilde’s former den of decadence the Café Royal on Piccadilly has a new head chef in Laurent Tourondel, who has just opened the eponymous Laurent at the hotel.
Housed on the first floor, Laurent has been designed by Italian architect Piero Lissoni. We love the sound of the food, with starters including the likes of Cornish crab on toast; and scallop salad with artichokes and yuzu beurre blanc.
Mains are cooked on a Parilla grill, and include Wayyu beef short rib, Somerset lamb chops, whole Dover sole, and Cornish sea bass. You’ll also find tasty morsels being served at the ssushi bar, including spicy crispy shrimp with chilli lime mayo; and crispy Wagyu beef nigiri with truffle aioli.
