Now I will admit to the fact that my review of Dstkt is going to ever so slightly biased because a good friend of mine is the Events Manager there and I am always shown the upmost hospitality when we dine there.
However do not let this for one second detract away from the fact that the chefs at Dstrkt are offering up some of the most exquisitely executed dishes in London right now. Headed up by George Yaneff (formerly at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills) the kitchen team delivers an all-organic blend of Continental cuisines that combines combinations of flavours and textures to the highest level, using freshly sourced ingredients for every dish.
Highlights of the a la carte menu include the Ostrich skewers that were cooked perfectly and accompanied by a fresh and tangy mustard dipping sauce. Another absolute winner was the Truffle Gnocchi served with a cheddar espuma. You have never had gnocchi like this - a crispy exterior hiding a delicately light and fluffy centre, that with the truffle infusion, were out of this world!
Not being a massive dessert fan, I had no issues with their immensely rich dark chocolate and orange panna cotta that challenged my non-sweet tooth to the last bite.
I cannot recommend Yaneff at Dstrkt enough and to compliment their outstanding food, their staff behind the bar knock out some the best and innovative cocktails.
The recent Cocktail competition (that I was fortunate enough to be a judge on the panel for) has resulted in some mind blowing creations. Think artisan spirits with a quirky american diner touch.
Enjoy..
