Burger & Lobster have added a piquant twist to their menu with the launch<br />
of the lobster tikka. The crustacean is marinated in garam masala, coriander<br />

The upscale Le Petit Belge at Pullman<br />
JLT is the place to head to for a couple<br />

plenty more Italian specialties with the focus on simple premium ingredients. Relish tuna or beef carpaccio, slow-cooked<br />
octopus with marinated potatoes, and seared scallops with beans puree. For mains, try a pizza made from scratch at the<br />
