LPM

having had a forgettable first time, the mister decided i should give LPM a second chance. in fact, i remember him accusing me of being an entitled brat and most disagreeable on our first visit (i blame it on being hangry) and my brother is a fan so we ended up there for dinner one sunday night. this time round, i really enjoyed it and would quite like to go back! but given the location and price point, i'd still pick ikeda (just a stone's throw away!) any time.

dinner was for five and it worked out to just over £40/head. we'd the burrata, beef carpaccio, yellowtail carpacci (pictured), calamari, escargot and hm one more appetiser i can't remember now. for mains we'd the catch of the day (sea bream at £31 for 2 to share) with candied ginger (?) and fennel and the entrecot done to rare perfection. we'd two very picky eaters with us who couldn't find fault with the steak so we know it was a good 'un, and i felt it was better than the meat we'd at cut a couple of weeks ago. so there! dessert was predictably creme brulee (huge portion!), profiteroles (boring, but for said picky eater) and the tart fine. i wish we ordered the pain perdu too but as the only sweet tooth in the group, there was no way i could finish four desserts (minus 4 mouthfuls as the rest just had a taste each)  as i was already finishing the three. not that i'm complaining but that's an attempt at selective moderation.
