Square Meal Review of L'Etranger ?

For many of its devoted followers, L'Etranger remains at the cutting edge of cool, dishing out top-end contemporary food in minimalist, sexy surrounds. Others can't see the appeal and a few readers have recently left disgruntled at the ‘overpriced' menu, ‘over-engineered food' and ‘tired' service. Yet there's still a lot of love for this restaurant, and it's easy to understand why. Ducasse-trained chef/patron Jérôme Tauvron overlays French haute cuisine with modish Japanese influences – witness a starter of tuna tataki with foie-gras shavings and truffle ponzu jelly. Elsewhere, smoked duck breast with cep ravioli and garlic spinach yields gutsy Gallic flavours, while the much-fancied caramelised black cod with sushi rice and pickled ginger is a sweet, umami-rich joy. The wine list is mightily impressive in its breadth and depth, although prices may make you wince.

Wine List of the Year Sommelier's Award Finalist

An encyclopaedic list, full to the brim with serious fine wine. The collection of Dom Pérignon Champagne is staggeringly large, and the list also has its fair share of classics and curios. Top marks for value, too.
