Taking first place was Olle Korean, It was a big highlight from me to try Korean BBQ for the first time, the food was so fresh and we ate so much protein. I remember feeling full but not bloated after that meal.
Taking second place was the Miso cod at Nobu. We ate the signature tasting menu and this was one of 5 dishes. Miso cod usually is special and this did not disappoint but the combo with the apricot was heavenly.
And taking third place was the Peri Peri chicken at O Piri- Piri. Just a small, funny looking restaurant selling the best grilled chicken I've ever tasted. I ended up going to this place 3 times in 5 days for lunch.
What would be your favourite?
Excited to find some more gems in 2022,
