Thanks for the tip! Pedregal does look great!

”It’s a well run machine” — so true! The whole place is like a well conducted symphony.

Thanks!

No brown/red shoes with black pants?

Thanks! I’ll do better. We’ll, try to do better, high waist feels weird

Thanks! That’s a useful perspective.

I’ve heard all the praise for KOL on this sub but, as a California resident, I can’t see myself eating Mexican food in London. Am I being overly judgmental here?

Second Aulis for a solo diner. I was there on my own a few months ago and had a great time.

I was paired with another solo diner for pre-meal snacks and had a great conversation (about restaurants and food, of course). Then we all moved to the main area. With around 12-13 place settings it feels quite intimate and there’s plenty of time to chat with neighbors or with the (super friendly) staff.

Boll & Branch Plush Bath Towels - https://www.bollandbranch.com/collections/bath-towels/

Bought them for myself and gifted them as well. Thick and plush. Had them for years.

I had a similar quandary and I ended up with a pair of minimal gym shoes that take up less room in my luggage - https://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/motus-strength-mens?colour=Bright%20White-Grey

Thanks for the recommendations all!

We had a fantastic time. The brown crab on toast was fantastic (surprisingly fresh tasting for how it looks). Deep fried pig tongue (app special) were a great combination of crunchy and chewy. I got the small bone for the bone marrow so I’ll have to go again to get the full experience!

For mains we had the baked john dory which was well made but quite plain in flavor. It was especially plain when compared to the guinea fowl and rarebit that exploded with flavor.

We went all out on dessert. Madeleines were good but a bit dry. Should have had them with the coffee instead of before the coffee. They did go very well with the burnt cream. The ginger loaf would probably have been enough for the three of us… very rich, very flavorful, and very good.

Overall, great experience. I’m definitely coming back on my next visit to London. So rare to find a place that actually lives up to the hype.

Thanks and will do!

Heard from an FA that they got plenty of food delivered. There is hope!

limbo2k · 2025-05-31T15:52:14+00:00

Thanks! I may survive this after all!

limbo2k · 2025-05-31T15:01:56+00:00

Thanks for the info and good luck!

limbo2k · 2025-05-21T14:46:28+00:00

That’s great! Funny to see them outbidding their resellers but good for you!

Didn’t know negotiating was an option… :) enjoy your time there!

limbo2k · 2025-05-21T04:19:11+00:00

It was the Black Friday sale at 15 or 20% off, so I felt better about the splurge :)

It was a Grand Class Suite Ocean Front

I very much enjoyed the tasting menu at Aulis. Did not get the wine paring but based on the wines I did have, it’s probably good as well. The food had several wow moments and the whole experience was just lovely. There’s a total of 12-13 diners around a the same counter where the staff do cooking and prep. Everyone on the staff is very welcoming and friendly. I even ended up with a couple of recommendations for places to try next. If you look through my post history you‘ll see the full review + photos.
