Where to Dine The GAMeS ROOM, GAUThIeR SOhO trAttoriA BOCCA DI LUPO Head Chef: Jacob Kenedy Phone: +44 (0)20 7734 2223 Email: info@boccadilupo.com Address: 12 Archer Street, W1D 7BB Website: www.boccadilupo.com Cuisine: Italian Style/Ambiance: Striking a nice balance between Italian trattoria and urbane Soho chic, this small, buzzy restaurant is perfect for lunch or pre-theater supper. Chef Kenedy takes traditional dishes from across Italy and offers each in a large or small portion, letting you eat as heartily or as lightly as you desire—no-one’s waiting to correct you. Expect some lesser known flavors like trofie with cuttlefish and its ink, veal tongue with peara (bread and bone marrow polenta), and Luganega deluxe—a pork and foie gras sausage with nutmeg, cinnamon and clove. The private dining suite seats up to 34, and the generous all-Italian wine list completes the picture admirably. MoDern COTIDIe Head Chef: Bruno Barbieri Phone: +44 (0)20 7258 9878 Email: reservations@cotidierestaurant.com Address: 50 Marylebone High Street, W1U 5HN Website: www.cotidierestaurant.com Cuisine: Italian Style/Ambiance: As a judge on Italian MasterChef and winner of seven Michelin stars, Bruno Barbieri was bound to cause a stir with his first UK venture. Authentic, well-presented dishes include roast supreme of Livornese baby rooster and guanciale pork crackling with potatoes and caramelized ‘saba’ grape must. For dessert, expect classics like tiramisu alongside milky baked rum ‘zabaione’ with berries and syrup. elite destination guide | london www.elitetraveler.com 27 Fine Dining GAUThIeR SOhO Head Chef: Alexis Gauthier VIP contact: Alice Taylor Phone: +44 (0)20 7494 3111 Email: info@gauthiersoho.co.uk Address: 21 Romilly Street, W1D 5AF Website: www.gauthiersoho.co.uk Cuisine: French Style/Ambiance: A refined oasis amid the razzle dazzle of Soho, this regency townhouse evokes a bygone era of French fine dining. Cream and white at every turn, the subdued interior lets the food do the talking, with rich offerings like black moscato truffle risotto with brown butter and jus de roti, pink roasted squab pigeon with meyer lemon and caramelized walnuts, and devilish desserts like Golden Louis XV with dark chocolate and praline. Gauthier’s ‘vegecentric’ menu has earned him three AA rosettes and a Michelin star, and waistline watchers will appreciate (or not) the calorie count beside each dish. A warren of dining rooms can host private parties for four to forty guests—book the cozy Chef’s Room for a romantic meal, or the marble adorned Grand Salon for something more lavish. BOCCA DI LUPO
