Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Camberwell

The tasting menu at Frog was mind-blowingly good and far beyond what you would expect from a single Michelin star restaurant. The manicured dishes flow at just the right speed which is important given you munch through nine or ten plates including the amuse-bouche at the start and the petits-fours. The stand out dish for me was the crab timbale with a deliciously fresh herb sauce of blitzed lovage, sorrel, parsley and apple peel. The minute crab decorations were a lovely touch. This edged out the duck served with a remarkable umami mushroom "ketchup" and turnip puree. I particularly enjoyed the use of British ingredients like woodruff (similar to vanilla) which are not perceived as luxuries but have phenomenal flavour. The only miss on the food was the temperture of the lobster ravioli. We enjoyed the premium wine pairing and the sommeliere did a fantastic job of explaining the aromas and flavours and how they matched each dish. My main criticism is that given the price point for the premium wine flight (£250) there really should be more premium wines. Having memorized the labels some cost £20-30 which is definitely not premium. That said, well chosen and fun, but wine quality should be higher. The cod would have benefited from a Pouilly-Fuisse 1er Cru or Chablis 1er Cru from a south-facing slope which captures some tropical notes. My advice: buy a bottle from the list as these are much better value than the flights. All in all, the food and experience was on a par with Lameloise in Burgundy which has three stars.

Quaglino’s offers an extraordinary dining experience that leaves a lasting impression on every guest. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were warmly welcomed by a team that exemplifies hospitality at its finest. Their genuine enthusiasm and attention to detail ensured that nothing was too much trouble, creating a seamless and memorable evening.

Everything was great. The comte frites and the bread were amazing at the start - the butter was to die for. The beef starter was superb and tender and the tomato starter was equally as good. We then shared the monkfish and the gnocchi which were both 10/10. The sauce on both was outrageous. Would like to come back Not overly priced

Simply superb! Great food beautifully served. Good wine list. Really can't fault it and would heartily recommend to all those that like The Medlar.

Best Sunday roast in London in a beautiful setting with wonderfully attentive staff
