Restaurant St. Bart's - the only place in London with both Michelin star and Michelin green star with a gorgeous backdrop of the medieval church of St Bartholomew the Great. 🌟 🌱

Hadn't been since it opened 3 years ago - everything has just gone up in so many ways. From the seasonal dishes by @johnniecrowefood, decor and experience. 

Everything is minimal waste concept with whole carcasses being used and sourcing all British produce. 

Head of Wine @grace___hi has a tight but perfect list with clear sustainable focus - everything you want was on it and just like baby bear say it was "just right". Very harmonious pairings - standouts were:

🌟 @nikolaihofwachau with the Crab and Horseradish - the hints of white pepper from the Gruner just offset the horseradish perfectly. 

🌟 @brannlandiscider with the cheese plate

🌟 @adrien_renoir ratafia with the black koji and artichoke (it's emulates chocolate so a lot of development must have gone into creating the flavours from British ingredients 🤯)

👉 For collectors, they do allow corkage - my @domaineleflaive 2014 Puligny Combette still a baby. It unfurled over the courses and time though for those that will be opening for a full table I suggest letting it breathe a bit before serving. 

Food and wine lovers alike - a wonderful experience. ✨
