dreaming of the flat iron steak with béarnaise sauce and creamed spinach @flatironsteak #aficionadafi #ldnfooddiaries . . . £10 a steak is too good an offer to pass up! plus the creamed spinach side was nice and rich. (at Flat Iron)

chocolate gelato. strawberry and lemon sorbet. all in a pretty rose ice cream cone. @amorinogelato. #aficionadafi #travelgram #paris #tbt. . . just leaving work... tired AF... and now I wish I were in the sun in Paris eating my ice cream... (at Jardin Des Tuileries)

belted Galloway beef with aubergine glazed in black tea and olives #aficionadafi #ldnfooddiaries. ----- two cuts of beef in one amazing dish with bone marrow to top it off. (at The Ledbury)

[aficionadafi]

roast scallops with fennel, elderflower and lemon #aficionadafi #ldnfooddiaries ----- anyone who knows me will know that I have this unexplainable obsession with scallops. so needless to say I was super excited for this scallops course at The Ledbury. scallops were very nicely cooked and the elderflower brings out the sweetness in the scallops (although I still think scallops at Jean-Georges with crispy prosciutto and caper emulsion is still hands down the best scallop dish I have ever eaten) (at The Ledbury)

[aficionadafi]

white beetroot baked in clay and caviar salt. smoked eel. #aficionadafi #ldnfooddiaries ------- fantastic Saturday night dinner at The Ledbury with 8 courses tasting menu and 5 wines pairing (opted for less wine as already drank a bit during the day with my girls meetup). this white beetroot course is definitely one of the prettiest plates for this meal. (at The Ledbury)

tonkotsu ramen (20 hour pork bone broth) with chashu pork, spring onion and extra corn. soup base was good and tasty but personally would prefer thicker (and curly) ramen. really miss the ramen in Tokyo now 😭 #aficionadafi #ldnfooddiaries (at Bone Daddies Old Street)

[aficionadafi]

Paris-Brest 😍 everything you would want in a dessert @clipstonerestaurant, the newly opened sister restaurant of @portlandrestaurant sadly @ivyeatsagain and I had ordered way too much carbs to start #aficionadafi #ldnfooddiaries (at Clipstone Street)

[aficionadafi]

and the green lakes 😊 #aficionadafi #yaysfinally #waterfalls (at Plitvice Lakes National Park)

[aficionadafi]
