Paper Moon Restaurant, Westminster
London
Reseñas
Probably one of the best Italian restaurants in London. Where to start: 1. Food was delicious, menu a good combination of traditional Italian for tourists, and the more genuine recipes too. 2. Service was amazing. Our server Iyad was the best waiter in London for a long time. Attentive, professional, proactive and friendly (to the right level) 3. Kids menu was simple choice of three starters, main course, and desert. And great value 4. Setting is such a beautiful, classy restaurant, set in an amazing hotel and area of London. 5. Staff welcoming you was also very good. They had a forgotten sweater ready for us to pick up. Higher price point than usual, but justified given everything. Very good value for money. Would definitely recommend.
Had the pasta with squid and mussels which was very good and had its own style/flare. Also enjoyed the cannelini beans with tuna roe and slivered red onions which was refreshing and delicious. Ask for their unique paper bread. Service was friendly and attentive. Note: They automatically add a 15% gratuity to the check.
The linguine was excellent, and the drinks were both beautiful and delicious. The atmosphere was lovely, with decorative plates on the walls adding a nice touch. I made a reservation for a birthday, and they kindly provided a birthday plate, which was a thoughtful gesture. However, they charge £10 per person if you bring your own cake from outside, which felt a bit excessive.
The restaurant is beautiful with a great vibe and elegant décor, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The service definitely made the evening enjoyable. One dish was disappointing though. I ordered the Pappardelle Paper Moon and it was very salty. I understand the bacon is naturally salty, but the sauce was also heavily seasoned, so the combination was overpowering and not well balanced. For a fine dining restaurant, I expected better execution. That said, the lamb was excellent and a real highlight. Overall a lovely atmosphere and great service, but the food was a bit inconsistent.
We have visited twice and will visit again and again. Our favorite London restaurant so far. Absolutely amazing! Great pasta, we loved everything we’ve tried. Carciofi caccio pepe was my favorite. Excellent beef tartar, so fresh and shiny. So was the vitello tonnato. Fish choices are great. Dover Sole was perfectly executed. Whole sea-bass in salt crust is also worth trying. Pana cotta, gianduja chocolate sphere and mimosa sponge cake were all delicious. Service is excellent, they make you feel so welcome.
