SixtyOne Restaurant.

There are 5570 Restaurants in London so one does have a lot of choice.

I have eaten at quite a few, always when in London choose “exceedingly good” restaurants.

I have tried Jason Atherton, Ramsey’s, Corrigan’s Marco’s to name just a few.

Now………………………………. I can actually say, hand on heart, that I have found A true hidden gem

SixtyOne Restaurant, 61 Upper Berkeley Street, London, W1H 7PP. Very close to Marble Arch

My word…………………..

This restaurant is not just exceedingly good it is sensational! From greeting to leaving it was perfection – not stuffy or cold, everyone was warm and genuinely friendly.

Modern trendy with a 70’s vibe but Warm! From the start I knew it was going to be delicious just by the ambience and looking around at other plates! But it was simply sensational.

When I tasted the food I was so surprised power packed flavours and great presentation.

Service begins with a Bread Box accompanied by homemade butter.

Not a normal “Bread Box”

I do make my own butter and this was beautiful, creamy salty perfection.

My new love is Marmite Bread, oh my! so dangerous – As I was salivating so much they asked if I would like more bread – NOOOOO! Not because I did not like it, simply because I ADORED IT!

I would have eaten them out of Marmite Bread if I could, but I knew that I wanted to “Save myself”.

To start I ordered Heritage beetroot | Cashel Blue | walnut -simply beautiful.

For Main – Pork loin Apple and Pineapple. Devine cooked to perfection with a salty crust.

For Pudding we were given an extra dish, a cheesecake in a shot glass served with the most adorable pistachios shortbread – meltingly delicious.

Followed by – Apple millefeuille| lavender | lime – I have never tasted anything so deviously delicious and I never ever eat puddings. It must be 20 years since I ordered a pudding, I normally go for the cheese. On this occasion I decided to try it . OH MY- The whole experience was simply Perfection.

I shall return. I would really want to eat everything! So the tasting menu shall be perfect – Roll on September when I am back in London.

Sixtyone is my new favourite restaurant – Thank You to all who made our visit so very special.
