A Christmas lunch in a Michelin starred establishment was called for so Claude Bosi’s Hibiscus restaurant in Mayfair was chosen by a piglet. Hibiscus started life in the wilds of Shropshire but moved to it’s present Mayfair location in 2006. French molecular gastronomy is what they serve here so we went for the maximum amount of 8 courses on the tasting menu to enjoy the experience as much as possible.
The first of two desserts was ‘Iced Chestnut Parfait with Sharon Fruit’ but was either too frozen or hadn’t had enough chestnuts added as it was simply a cold bland glass of cream.
The second dessert was much better flavoured and had the main nutty, creamy element along with a fruity and vegetable sorbet in the form of ‘Hazelnut Cream Millefeuille with Passionfruit and Pumpkin’. This was extremely filling so was a perfect end to a tasting menu and could afford to be indulgent.
This Little Piggy approves.
