PLU

"Without exception, my meal at Plu was the best I have tasted. Unlike many similarly rated restaurants where I will generally be singing their praises for 3 or 4 of the dishes presented. At Plu it was 11 or 12 ! Exceptional presentation with an unrivalled attention to detail. The menu is not only a journey of taste bud discovery but also has an element of wittiness to it. These are serious culinary creations with an epigrammatic Englishness to them. Chef Elliot plays subtle games with the names given to his courses leading to both table conversation but also seductively tantalises the guests preconceived mouth to brain neurotransmissions. There is a profound refinement to his work without the need for brash “look at me” statements such as bacon ice cream or other such nonsense. I was not asked to eat any of the courses in the dark, none were accompanied by clouds of dry ice or flames that required me to note where the fire extinguishers were. Service at the restaurant was as it should be, not overbearing but there when needed, informative but with a gentle presence. Plu certainly deserves its place in the top 20 UK restaurants, I sincerely hope it can achieve a top ten position in the not too distant future. Book a table, you won’t be disappointed !"
