#kitchenatholmes

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 | Last year I had one of the best meals of 2019 at @kitchenatholmes when I attended their Aged & Smoked event. So when I had the chance to visit again I said yes before I could even finish my first breath. Everything about this place is top quality; the food, the cocktails, the decor, the service, especially from my old pal Fabio. Every cocktail has a story, or is presented in a quirky way, or is unlike anything I’ve tried before. K T Time, which is a gin, plum bitters, and cranberry & lime juice cocktail is presented in a teapot, and the Case Closed is a diplomatico rum with chocolate liquor, frangelico, Mozart black, and popcorn syrup, served with a small portion of popcorn to emphasise the sweetness. The courgette spaghetti is still one of the best “pasta” dishes I’ve had, and there’s no way you can come here and not get the 1kg cote de boeuf. Other must-have dishes are the beef carpaccio, jamon croquettes, and aubergine tempura. Honestly, you’re not gonna have a bad dish here so get anything. . . . . . #kitchenatholmes #steak #beef #cotedeboeuf #spaghetti #cocktails #londonfood #finedining #meat #londonrestaurants #london #instahungry (at Kitchen at Holmes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8LaS-xH5_4/?igshid=190n35p916mse

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 | This week I went to an intimate event at the BEAUTIFUL @kitchenatholmes, a pretty new restaurant/hotel that’s definitely a lot classier than I think I am. It was an “Aged & Smoked” banquet featuring smokers @hformanandson to take us through a short salmon masterclass. We were spoiled with 11 incredible dishes, and trust me, everything banged hard. My highlights were the 35 day aged cote de boeuf, which was cooked absolutely perfectly and had a perfect caramelisation on the fat, and the courgette spaghetti, which was probably the nicest pasta dish I’ve ever had. It was SO creamy but really light. The beef carpaccio with truffle and foie gras was also something special, and is surprisingly cheap on their menu. We also tried out their smoked cocktails, like a smoked martini, and a smoked negroni served in a pipe. Everyone we spoke to here were so passionate about their jobs, and their level of knowledge around their product really did help enhance this experience. A meal here might be for the fancier occasion, but it would be my pick. . . . . . #kitchenatholmes #steak #smokedsalmon #londonfood #negroni #martini #truffle #foiegras #bakerstreet (at Kitchen at Holmes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4pAK2JHTNa/?igshid=16bxc80wknqe8
