A stark, whitewashed culinary institution in a former smokehouse that defines British nose-to-tail dining with a gouty sense of decorum.
Ordering Strategy
Begin with a drink in the bakery bar. Order the Bone Marrow to start, and put your order in for the freshly baked Madeleines early (often a 15-minute wait) so they arrive hot for dessert.
What to order
Roast Bone Marrow and Parsley Salad
The legendary signature dish that defines the restaurant; served with sourdough toast and sea salt, it is a non-negotiable order.
Braised Ox Cheeks
Described as melt-in-your-mouth tender and balanced perfectly with horseradish cream.
Fresh Baked Madeleines
Served by the half-dozen or dozen, these arrive hot and spongey; a cult favorite dessert to order ahead.
