1 Lombard Street - The Restaurant Description
The Restaurant is situated behind the Brasserie and is the focus of 1 Lombard Street's central theme. In charge of the stoves is the brilliant chef, Herbert Berger, his approach can best be summed up in one of his quotes "...There is perfection in simplicity" and since roast goose is rumoured to be his piéce de resistance, and my favourite dish, I hope I may live to see the day...
This particular restaurant is located in a grade II listed, transformed corner bank site which until recent events (2008) might have been calculated to instil some frisson of security. Alas, no more. Instead, from a circular bar cocktails of both a lethal and aristocratic origin, with names forever associated with the surrounding City and its preoccupation with matters of money, are dispensed by staff who certainly know what they are about.
The neo-classical interior is graced by domed skylights by Pietro Agostini and curving banquettes provide a particularly plush surface for the hind quarters of the well heeled. What better place than to regale ones self with a big boy's breakfast before tackling a hard day making money?
The full à la carte does not stay still for long but expect to find dishes along the lines of starters of carpaccio of tuna, oriental spices and toasted sesame seeds black radish, ginger and lime vinaigrette, or trio of Cornish crab tomato and basil vinaigrette, with brown crab meat puree and bloody mary sorbet. However, the scallops with barigoule artichoke tortellini and lardons with lemon and virgin olive oil emulsion will bring a quiet smile of delight to the connoisseur.
From the main fish courses the seared sea bass with fennel seeds, provençal vegetables, basil mash and saffron jus is a rare treat, whilst amongst the meat and poultry the fillet of veal with caramelised foie gras comes to table with a fricassée of sweetbreads, sorel and champagne.
From an impressive list of puddings keep a lookout for a chocolate, whisky and coffee praline lombardo. There's also a hot bitter chocolate fondant with iced pistachio parfait and orange confit topped off deliciously with sea salted caramel. A wine list that is impressive in its scope includes legendary names and years.
However, do find more details on the comprehensive Website for all that 1, Lombard has to offer.
