Dear Julie,
I agree with your analysis and just like you and Arabella, I have also stopped using Squaremeal in favor of food blogs, since most reviews published here are so obviously fake. Twitter is indeed not for everyone – myself included – it's imposing, relentless and daft. More

Christopher J, if you can get a table @ Dinner I'm in! More

Dear Editor,

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your answer to the original post, but I'd like an answer too.
Since personally I don't eat at French restaurants in London (I also live in Paris and get my french fix there) and consume most of my restaurant meals at pan Asian restaurants, I'd like to hear your position on why those don't seem to deserve a serious visit by one of your reviewers. In Europe, London is famous for offering the highest standard of Asian cuisine (not French or Italian which is better in their respected countries) so surely they deserve to be called ‘must-visits’ too? In fact when my husband and I go for business dinners with clients from abroad their must visits are always Japanese or pan Asian.
I'm not trying to be rude or imply that you aren't serious, but if you have a dozen very bad reviews for a restaurant, how can it still be listed as one of the best?

Regards,

Oh no Sabrina, I completely disagree. The food at Buddha bar is hideous. The drinks are good though. It used to be ok ten years ago or so, but now it's invaded by palatally challenged tourists. Not a place to impress posh business types. When in Paris stick to French food (or north African food). I do like your reviews though, you're on my favorites list. More

The only one that comes to mind is Yam Cha. A Michelin starred Chinese restaurant with French influences. Only ten tables or so, so need to book way in advance. Apart from that I don't recommend eating Japanese food in Paris when used to London style eateries. It just doesn't compare. Stick to authentic French institutions when in Paris, I.e. Joel Robuchon, Voltaire, Cafe Flottes or L'ami Louis. More

I agree that we don't get them nearly often enough! I suppose when ones mouth is used to different flavours and ingredients all the time, there are very few surprises left.

Last time I went to Dinings, I had Wagyu beef nigiri. I know it sounds strange, but something about the tender meat, that was just seared, then brushed with a delicious truffle oil dressing and decorated with a small jellyfied piece of yuzu on the nigiris top, made it unusual and curageous. And it worked – my husband and I both agreed that we had experienced a culinary climax indeed. More

Why don't you just use candles – much more classic and no headache. Good luck. More

A person who knows caviar, knows not to order it in a restaurant. Of course it will be overpriced (duh), and it's a little silly that this is the way you try and impress ‘the girls’ (and even sillier that mediocre caviar impresses them). Furthermore what you were served could have been Iranian Beluga, as in Russia it is indeed illegal (not that it doesn't happen anyway, but it won't get into a London restaurant, it goes straight to the tables of caviar lovers). In my opinion, little star, you have never had the fortune of trying the real deal (which is Beluga Molossol) and I find it ironic that you include caviar in your last meal yet you do not seem to appreciate it's heavenly taste.
