The Square (London, UNITED KINGDOM) ★★★☆☆

Following our disappointing outing at Maze last year, we wanted to make quick amends on our trip to London this year. The two-starred Michelin, The Square, seemed to be exactly what the doctor ordered.



Ranked #69 in the world by the Restaurant Magazine, we came into the Square with fairly high expectation. We picked their tasting menu in order to do a better sampling of a wider range of dishes.



There were two amuse bouches on the night but both of them failed to impress.




Our fish course was also a major disappointment. The vegetable soup was too strong wasting a perfectly good turbot fish.



The meat courses, beef tenderloin and vension, were slightly better but still nowhere near the top of the class.




Our dessert was a soufflé. Well just average.



For the same price, I would rather go to Sketch or L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon.
