We’ve rounded up some of our favourite dishes from all the places we’ve eaten this month. The stand out bangers we’d happily go back and eat again and again…and again. If any tickle your fancy, you best get down and try them sharpish, just don’t blame us if the “daily changing menu” has already wiped ’em out!
Lee Westcott is heading up the kitchen at Elodie, the fine-dining restaurant inside the new Birch hotel in Selsdon, and he’s on fine form, turning out dishes like this Cornish crab, heritage tomato, green almond & chamomile.

Caviar on ice cream? Oh it’s a thing. This combo of vanilla ice cream, a good drenching of olive oil and a healthy mound of Umai Caviar made for a rich, complex (and not salty) pud.

Poon’s Wontoneria (AKA the pop-up so hot that it won’t pop down) is showing you how to do their Wo Sauce right: served on top of youtiao, or ‘Chinese churros’. Yum.

There’s a lot to love about the menu at the Tamil Prince, but the paneer butter masala is a classic. The dish’s rich, creamy sauce is made even more indulgent with the help of buttery paratha and the Prince’s coconut pilau rice.

The pork chop, drenched, no, drowned in Charrington’s cider at the Union Rye in East Sussex, just one of the incredible dishes from an epic menu.

Finally visited Planque in Haggerston and had this little naughty number with Jamon Iberico on top of a mushroom tartine. A pleasant surprise for someone who avoids mushrooms.

The super rich British wagyu carpaccio with beef fat chips, which is served as a starter at Dovetale, the new spot from Tom Sellers in the 1 Hotel Mayfair. You grab a chip and roll the meat around it. Beautiful new spot in Mayfair.

The crispy bottomed saffron risotto at Pidgin in London Fields, from the new menu to make the arrival of the new Head Chef Naz Hassan. Love this little London Fields gem!
