Claridge’s x DANTE

Food, food, food that has been a recent topic on Glamazonblog.com but Food and Fashion are definitely a passion of mine and these two passions are not leaving anytime soon.

It was one of those rare moments when my husband I get to enjoy a good meal together and this time we had the pleasure to try the lunch menu at Claridge’s restaurant Dante. I have eaten in Claridge’s several times but this was my first time trying out this wonderful collaboration. The decor goes so well with the flow of the hotel and the remaining bars and restaurants as well as the rooms. It has stunning bar and very comfortable seating. I just love this chic setting with marble elements, spot on lighting and leather seats. From start to finish we have received impeccable services which is usually very high in Claridge’s whether you stay here or just come for evening cocktails.

If you ask me to go and try anything that is highly regarded in NYC I will more likely say yes. I adore New York probably even more than London so to get the taste of New York but closer to home is a dream combo for me. I normally do not have such big lunches but when eating out husband and I went big. We opted for starters and we chose the Mare misto and Dante’s signature burrata. Both very tasty and just right up my street. As for the main I really fancied veal Milanese but we also wanted to taste the signature dish of Dante and that is their diavola chicken. And that all finished with cup of coffee. Not the best coffee if you ask me but pretty good quality oat latte if you ask me.

Everything was done in so simple way but very delicious and also you could feel the quality produce in all dishes. You also get complimentary focaccia bread with some olive oil which is always an excellent choice. The restaurant has impressive wine menu as well as some wonderful signature cocktails.

I would go back 100 % but would love to try perhaps breakfast or dinner just to get a full feel of Dantes.

THE PARK LONDON REVIEW- CHIC GIRL’S BRUNCH

If you are looking for a chic girl’s brunch spot to cheer yourself up in the winter cold months look no further. The Park London offers chic decor and atmosphere to brighten up these gloomy days.

As you may know if you follow me on other platforms I have ongoing list of places in London I want to try. I have always been passionate about food and sharing hotspots with you for many years. Whether that is delicious market food, Michelin star restaurant or simply new opening. The park is situated just outside of Queensway station which makes it easy to get to on Central line. It has been a while since I shared a restaurant with you but if you like Ramen you should definitely try this one.

The Park restaurant is so well positioned with the views over Hyde Park and I have been smitten by the decor. It has that French Brasserie style and is so chic with a lovely ambience. I really felt like brunch that morning however would love to try some of their lunch menu as well. It is a lovely mix of brasserie style dishes like Chicken Cesar salad or Chicken Milanese. I enjoyed their coffee as well. It wasn’t the best I have had but nice quality coffee. I opted for their poached eggs with smoked salmon which we normally refer to as Eggs Royale however the Park has them listed as Eggs Arlington. It was pretty much the most expensive in their breakfast selection but what can I say. If a girl wants it the girl should get it.

The meal was fresh, the ingredients really great quality and the service was fantastic from the staff at reception to our table service staff members. You definitely should not pick this spot if you are on a budget however if you want a lovely treat this place is for you. We were so lucky with the January weather as it was lovely sunny and crispy day and the sun beans in the restaurant made it even lovelier.

It was a morning well spent.

Kinoya Ramen harrods dining hall review

I have recently had another wonderful experience in Harrods dining hall. My friend suggested to try this ramen restaurant for lunch as she heard great things. And she was not wrong. I am so happy she suggested this place as I have never tried it before and I already know I want to come back.

The atmosphere

The space as you may know just when passing by is stunning. The whole dining hall looks classy and chic and each restaurant has a dedicated space with staff. The atmosphere is always buzzing and I love that. I also recommend to book but you can always try your luck as walk in. However the place got busier and busier. They were so professional and so accommodating for us despite having two toddlers. They provided high chairs and also gave us table where we could comfortably park our push chairs.

The menu and the food

The menu is very simple with some starters and choice of the ramens. I opted for the chicken ramen with no extras and that costs 30 £. Yes definitely much more expensive than most ramens I had in the past. However the taste is not comparable. The flavours of this were beyond. We ordered some rice and beef for children which I tried and also so well flavoured and stunning quality. If you come here they have beyond delicious starter with Aubergine and the flavours were out of this world. I am still thinking of it today. I wish I knew the recipe so I could recreate it at home.

The price and what to expect

As I mentioned before this is not a budget dining experience however you get what you pay for. Our bill for 2 starters, 2 ramen, 1 meal for children and soft drinks was 180 £ with service charge included.

However it is an incredible treat so if you are a Ramen lover I highly recommend.
