Vinous Table: Endo At The Rotunda, London, United Kingdom
Vinous Table, United Kingdom
, Oct 2020
Endo At The Rotunda is the hottest ticket in town. Three friends already had reservations for the following fortnight when I visited in mid-February – word of mouth travels fast among epicures.
Vinous Table: The Araki, London, United Kingdom
Vinous Table, United Kingdom
, Oct 2020
Don’t get me wrong: The Araki served a delicious meal and I must commend Lau for being chatty and personable when other sushi masters can either act imperious or ramble on so much that you feel you’re attending a lecture rather than dining out.

Overall, I can understand exactly why Elystan Street has become a popular haunt for Chelsea residents.

When restaurants are valiantly forming a rearguard action against COVID, the opening of Noble Rot Soho at this moment represents a rare event as neighbors remain mothballed for fear what winter will bring.

Vinous Table, United Kingdom

Vinous Table: Le Pot d’Etain, L’Isle-sur-Serein, France

Having pulled its first ale over 200 years ago and survived numerous wars and depressions, not to mention the odd pandemic, I am optimistic that the Onslow Arms will weather this latest challenge.
Vinous Table: Noizé, London, United Kingdom
Vinous Table, United Kingdom
, Aug 2020
While current distancing measures are in place, we must do without the thrill of the crowd. That does not necessarily preclude us from enjoying a meal out, however, and I had a thoroughly pleasant evening in every way, one that meant a lot after months in hibernation.
Vinous Table: Sorrel, Dorking, United Kingdom
Vinous Table, United Kingdom
, Jul 2020
I vowed that as soon as Sorrel reopened, I would publish my Vinous Table, crossing my fingers that it would not be another victim of COVID-19. The fact that you are reading this confirms that Sorrel has again opened its doors.
