Last week, Alex and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary. We have actually known one another for almost 9 years, however, we only got together in May 2009…. it just goes to show, that finding love, is all about being in the right place at the right time.
Alex and I are lucky enough to eat out often, but when it comes to special occasions, we always like to go somewhere new, and somewhere special.
A dear friend of mine Latifa, recently took her husband to Koffmann’s at the Berkeley Hotel, in Knightsbridge, London
Culinary legend Chef Pierre Koffmann did not fail to impress. Alex and I were lucky enough to have eaten at the restaurant when Mr Koffmann was there. Apparently he is there most days for both lunch and dinner service. We loved loved loved this restaurant. It has jumped right up to the top of our favourites list! It was classic, chic and unpretentious. The food speaks for itself, and holds its own.
The décor was a mix of elegant Knightsbridge coiffing, together with rustic elements such fresh pot plants. The staff were very friendly, approachable, and attentive without being intrusive.

Alex started with the delicious lobster ravioli, followed by a simply perfect pan fried Dover
I had the silky, serene terrine of foie gras with homemade chutney, and toasted brioche, followed by the mighty lobster thermidor, and finished with the most heavenly a tarte au citron I have ever, ever tasted.
We washed this all down with a glorious Mersault ‘Les Vireuils’, Domaine Dupont – Fahn 2007.
This meal was perfect and memorable…and is vying for first place with dinner at The Waterside Inn, Bray - which is where Alex proposed to be me on bended knee….
To all at Koffmann’s keep up the good work – Alex and I are looking forward to coming back very soon!
Have a good day everyone…
…keep cooking with love…xoxo…
