Trivet London - 2 Michelin Stars

Trivet is the only 2-Michelin starred restaurant in London where you can order a la carte for dinner. No need to be "forced" into a long and elaborate tasting menu. For my first meal after getting off a plane from Hong Kong, a "short-ish" (but excellent) meal sounded perfect to me. I didn't think my jet-lagged self could stay up much too long after an early dinner.

We also chose Trivet because we were staying in the Tower Bridge Bermondsy neighborhood this time around. Trivet is walking distance from that area - yet another reason to choose it for our first meal in London.

I really liked the ambiance at Trivet. This self-described "informal" restaurant was upscale yet relaxed and comfortable. Instead of white tablecloths, we dined on wooden tables in a contemporary space filled with modern artwork and minimalistic floral decorations. The service was friendly add attentive. Despite just getting off a plane, I felt great during the entire meal!

Starters

The menu is pretty much only a la carte, so we decided to each order a starter and a main, plus a couple sides to share.

Trivet London - General Thoughts

Despite just getting off a plane, I was surprisingly energized by my meal at Trivet. The perfect relaxing atmosphere, the high level of execution in the food, and just being continually delighted at each course . . . it was indeed a great first evening in London. Best part was being able to walk less than 10 minutes back to our hotel after a long flight!

My favorite bites: "One has to have more Morels", the "rare" seemingly almost raw pigeon, and the awesome fries!
