Hibiscus (29 Maddox Street, London, W1S 2PA) The food was exceptional. It's expensive. It's worth it. We were a party of four: two Londoners and two New Yorkers. We loved it – it's a place to go if you want the absolute best food and don't care about the price. I am far too well mannered, but actually, I would have liked to have licked my pudding plate clean. The restaurant itself is fairly plain but still somehow warm. The staff are friendly and there is no hint of snootiness often associated with our cousins across the Chanel. Our waiter's heavy French accent added comedy value, as we had no clue what we were ordering, even with the explanation. It didn't matter. It was all exquisite.
