We’ve still got a couple of weeks left of the year, and a few more restaurants to visit! But I would call Viajante my restaurant of the year.

There is no menu per se as they tell you what the food will be, you simply choose 6 or 9 courses (12 by prior request) with a caveat of them asking about dislikes and allergies.

We opted for the 9 courses with matching wines, but with amuse bouche, pre deserts and petit fours it was more like 15 courses, and too many to detail on a review. The courses did range from very good to excellent though, and ever the only problem with a tasting menu is that there is too much (the delicious bread and flavoured butter at the start you must resist to gobble it all up!)

The kitchen is totally open and the front row of tables have their chairs positioned to watch the theatre, which is a calm well run and efficient machine with all the chefs working in harmony. No Ramseyesk outbursts here! My only grumble is that why wasn’t it open when I lived in East London!
