The Dorchester - The Grill - Mayfair - London *

There's something about The Dorchester.

It just oozes that 1930's old school glamour we all secretly love.

As soon as you step foot inside, displays of diamond jewellery twinkle at you behind glass cases, and in the opulent Promenade lobby you will no doubt see a flurry of ladies clad in their Christian Louboutins teetering past, and businessmen gathering amongst the marble pillars and giant floral displays.

The decadence here is unmatched.

Yet despite being unashamedly upper-class, The Dorchester is surprisingly very friendly and welcoming.

Mosimann's Private Dining Club - Belgravia - London

I admit that I have been rather naughty, and have neglected you all.

I don't have an excuse this time.

But... then this little post wouldn't hold much merit if I didn't go into hiatus for awhile.

So as a treat, I'm going to let you in on London's best kept culinary secret.

Courtesy of being awesome (work), I was lucky enough to dine at the exclusive Mosimann's Private Dining Club.

Mr. Anton Mosimann has the royal stamp of approval so expectations were exceedingly high.

His culinary style is described as 'cuisine naturelle' for it emphasises only the use of healthy, natural ingredients and avoids additions of any fat and/or alcohol in his cooking.

Only Mosimann could have forged a union between exquisitely tasty and healthy food; a coupling that was previously only thought to be mutually exclusive.
