Often praised, and for good reason, Les Trois Garcons is a grotto of macabre bibelots and absurdist antiques that is simply enchanting. But in order to charge the prices they do, you need more than interior design that looks like the fruition of one of Tim Burton’s wet dreams. Fortunately the boys behind LTG (as well as Annex 3 and Loungelover below) are no amateurs, producing bold French-origin dishes with a cunning and complexity that complements the taxidermy arrangements. The 8 course tasting menu is quite the business.
Price: £90-100pp. 1 Club Row, Old Street, E1 6JX. Tel: 020 7613 1924. Web: www.loungelover.co.uk
