Roganic

Seawater cured Kentish mackerel, orache, broccoli and warm elderflower honey
I splashed out and went to Roganic in the posh Marylebone area! Could've had the 10 course for £80 but opted for 6 courses for £55. You can get 3 courses for £29 but then, why would you come here and only have 3 little plates?

The food was great, you can read more about this place on Rocket & Squash where I wholey agree with everything he wrote so there is no point in saying it over. The only thing was that we both thought the place lacked atmosphere. I didn't like the lighting which was a bit harsh and everything felt rather clinical but its kinda wonderful to not understand what was on the menu and tasting wonderful flavours combined together for the first time.
The bread was lovely too. Anything that there was to eat was great! What I most enjoyed was getting to know someone over this meal which was full of surprises and taste, an explosion of delights and discovery. As they say, you can tell a lot from a person and what they appreciate about food.
Cumbrian hogget, artichokes and chenopodiums
Sweet ciceley with strawberry,
buttermilk and verbena
