A new 'Austral-Asian' (yes, both) influenced place where the staff have a great sense of humour. A…read morebunch of us came in for a special whole suckling pig roast feast and had a thoroughly fun evening - mostly because of the amazing pig puns that ensued when our eccentric waiter told us we could name the pig before we ate it (most of which I can't really repeat here!) as he slightly bizarrely paraded it around the table for selfies... I liked the art deco dining room which has great lighting features and daffodil-yellow seating. I enjoyed the drinks included in the menu too, esp the flowery vodka and elderflower welcome cocktail to start and the tim tam martini at the very end (who knew a tim tam could double as a straw?!). These and the little service touches (like individual menu scrolls) helped it get a third star from me. The food was a bit of a disappointment though - I think I'd gotten overexcited by the feasting description. The pig was tough to get much meat from while the lamingtons for dessert didn't really have much flavour at all. There were some treats among the starters like the truffle macancini balls (so yum, please give us more than one each!) and the polenta side should also get a big thumbs up. It meant the £45 a head didn't feel as great value as I'd hoped, but perhaps the a la carte menu offers more substance (and flavour) rather than style (and sowfies)...

Bye bye to Newman Tavern and happy welcome to Dickie Fitz, a new Australian restaurant with a…read morefusion of Japanese flavours. A beautiful transformation from the classic bar look to a more fancy modern theme composed of yellow comfortable lounge chairs, dimmed light and big spherical balls of fairy lights. A nice relaxing atmosphere. Truffle 'macancini' This was highly recommended to us the moment we were handed over the menu and after devouring them I can understand the excitement. Thin crispy coating of tasty truffles making away for a lovely filling of al dente macaroni and cheese. The combination of texture and flavour were perfect. Forget all those generic fried mac and cheese as this is an obvious winner. Beef tartare A fine example of the classic dish. Fresh silky beef, full of bounce and flavour. The seasoning was balanced without being overwhelming, allowing the sweetness of the beef to shine through. The egg yolk was dotted around adding colour as well as binding everything together. Garnished with the addition of radishes and rocket for a more complex bite and flavour. Tuna tataki The texture was mouth melting, bathing in a lovely citrusy ponzu with added avocado purée for extra creaminess and flavour. The simple garnishes of daikon and salad leaves added a nice contrast of texture. Oysters kilpatrick. A new creative take on preparing oysters using bacon to season it and adding a whole new depth to the flavour, finished off with breadcrumb for a nice opposing texture. Seabass carpaccio Fresh and thick, incredibly silky and tender, uplifting the flavour with an orange marinate. It was creative of them to season it with fresh bush lime and tempura batter at your table, adding a nice zest to it and the batter adding some crispiness to the softer texture that slowly melts in your mouth so it doesn't steal the show. Grass fed 28 day aged rib eye steak This was locally sourced from Cumbria. A very sweet juicy cut with a lovely bone marrow sauce mashed with herbs to add another level of flavour. Sadly it was very chewy and tough being full of fibrous tissues making it very hard to fully enjoy. Rib burger A great composition for a burger. Brioche bun fluffy yet held well, patty thick, juicy, packed full of flavour and pink, packed with melted jack cheese giving depth, sweet onions for more flavour and gherkins adding a punch of tang and crunch throughout the whole burger. Delicious!! Fries, chicken salt These were amazing. Just adding a bit of chicken powder gave it umami depth, flavour and not just salty. They were fried perfectly, crispy and fluffy. Wet mash Sounds enticing already. Made with butter and cream made it incredibly creamy. It was full of flavour and depth. Just give me a bowl of this any day as I can just have it comfort food. Kaffir lime Panna cotta Never imagined ever tasting eucalyptus and especially not in panna cotta. I can be honest and say it felt like eating hand cream at first especially with the gelatinous creamy texture and aroma. But as soon I adjusted to the taste I really enjoyed it along with the elderflower sorbet giving it a floral zesty finish. Creative and brave composition but it works. Chocolate fondant, salted peanut, burnt marshmallow. The fondant itself was incredibly thick that it was hard to differentiate the thin layer around it from the rich molten dark chocolate from the inside. It was very smooth, high quality chocolate being able to appreciate the taste of the cocoa. The sweetness and the nuttiness of the peanut brittle added a nice contrast to the bitterness along with the melted coconut marshmallow that added the creaminess to it without the sharp coldness that ice cream gives. Dickie Fitz is definitely not a cheap option with mains ranging from £11 to £32 and that's not including sides. It seems quite hidden being a small restaurant in a pretty dead area. But if you do stumble across this restaurant, maybe working in the area, or after shopping through Oxford Street, then the selection of dishes definitely won't disappoint. Each dish like you never had it before, paired with unusual ingredients, full of creativity with a lot of Japanese influences. Makes everything seem new and exciting. A nice refreshing change. Glad to have discovered it.

So I came to London with almost everyone I talked to saying that London had terrible food, cut and…read moredry. It was bizarre. I was determined to prove them wrong. So I fired up my algorithm, ranked every restaurant in London in a top 100 list, and started picking and choosing. My first dinner of my trip ended me up here, at Archipelago. The vibe of Archipelago from head to toe is exploring exotic cultures and cuisines, big game hunting, and adventure. It's interesting. Reminds me of Sean Connery from A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I got in, got seated at one of the very eclectic table and chair combination, and started browsing this overwhelming menu. A lot of the things on the menu, I didn't know what they were. I ordered and ate them, and I still don't know what they were. So, cards on the table, you definitely need a sense of adventure when you come here. It's exhilarating, honestly. We started off with sharing an app, the Serengeti Strut (crispy zebra "jerky", smoked onions, pickled garlic, carrot & ginger fluid gel and biltong soil). The zebra was crispy, but not quite jerky-like. Indescribable in flavor, but I liked it. It was a little smokey. A good pop from the garlic slices, and some nice earthiness from the gels. A solid app. There was also that soil on the plate that was like pork floss, if you've ever had that. Bizarre texture, but definitely added to the adventurousness. For my main, I ordered the Hot Marsupial (zhug marinated kangaroo skewers, candy beetroot & guindilla salad and red onion farofa). I also ordered two sides, because I'm a hungry guy, the Thai rice (sticky coconut milk rice) and a potato salad I can no longer find on the menu. This is the second time I've had kangaroo, and it's official, I love kangaroo. It's so soft, like a filet, but it also has some good flavoring in it, almost like a tamer wild boar. So, so good. The salad was pretty meh, but it was pretty. And the sides were needed. The rice had a nice sweetness and I just love carbs. Solid main. I also got to try the Oudtshoom Patram (ostrich tenderloin steak, peppercorn sphere, twice baked blue potato with cheese & bacon, Asian Caesar salad). This was excellent. My first time having ostrich, and it was amazing. It was a little spicy, almost like pepperoni or salami, but much deeper. Don't know how to describe it, because it's it's own thing. It was the best thing I ate this night, though, so if you're coming here, you have to have this. I mean it. I also had a nice dessert that I can't find online, but it was a curry spiced ice cream with a dark chocolate cake. And man, it was very good. Never through of curry and ice cream together, but know I do. Lovely lovely. Overall, this was a wild ride. I have no complaints, and you should come here if you wanna get a little wild.

Great food and atmosphere! Has the kangaroo, zebra and worm. All were absolutely fabulous and…read moretotally recommend it!
