Tom Aikens
On the second day of my trip to London a while back we had dinner at Tom Aikens. The whole experience was quite enjoyable. I snagged the menu we had from their website at the time (I put the whole thing in a convenient definition list).
An update on my second weekend trip
Unfortunately the opening of the hotel we booked in London has been delayed, so they offered to have us put up at The Royal Horse Guards hotel instead. It’s somewhat disappointing to have to stay at a different hotel from what you have originally booked, but judging from the website it should be alright (although it’s not quite the size we usually stay in – we prefer smaller hotels). They were, however, very apologetic and offered to give us a VIP next time we book a room with them. We’ll certainly take them up on their offer!
Apart from going to Moro we managed to squeeze in a reservation at Tom Aikens. We’d contemplated going to the Fat Duck, but they were temporarily closed at at that time. Should be a nice experience, I’ll be sure to let you know.
Weekend trip number two of 2009
Weekend trip number two of this year is coming up next week. I booked flights to London a while back, a room in a new (it hasn’t even opened yet) design hotel in Soho for the duration of our stay and lunch in the restaurant of the authors of some of my favourite cookbooks.
Apart from that I haven’t made any plans yet. Perhaps we’ll go see a show, do some shopping, visit a museum, hopefully go to some other great restaurants and of course drink a couple of pints (possibly with some old friends).
