Hibiscus (29 Maddox Street, London, W1S 2PA) Great food. The foie gras was the highlight for me. However while the food was challenging I didn't agree with all the ingredients and sometimes it felt the chef was over-complicating things. I should say that I am making a comparison with Restaurant Gordon Ramsay – where I had been the a day or so previous – and where the food was beautifully complex but assured and classic at the same time (and not at all gimmicky). I have eaten in many michelin restaurants and while the service was great by normal standards it was only OK by michelin standards. I am being particularly picky here though. The food was great and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable so you won't be disappointed if you eat here.
