England: London: Where to Eat: Relaxed but Refined: L'Autre Pied

L'Autre Pied

Just awarded its first Michelin star, this cozy restaurant off Marylebone High Street, offers delicious and beautifully prepared food in a congenial setting. It’s been a bit of a foodie secret since it opened but the star will surely bring more attention to talented twenty-something chef Marcus Eaves, who turns out such dishes as creamed chestnut and bacon veloute, and apple and blackberry crumble with blackberry sorbet for dessert. The private dining room seats up to sixteen guests. Open daily for lunch and dinner.
