It has been another long week for me; can’t seem to adjust my 5 days a week work regime! I even took 1.5 days off from work which helped keep me sane for another week. Lots of amazing things to come; I was invited to the QVC Beauty Bash which will be up on the blog soon; as well as a swift visit to Citizen M hotel near Monument. To end this horrid week; I met up with one of my favourites girls at Bob Bob Ricard; a luxury London restaurant serving Russian inspired modern British menu. I first heard of this place through my Azerbaijani friend who off course knows all the fav Russian restaurants around London and when doing my research online; my first impressions were WOW. The decor is breathtaking; kinda reminds me of The Greats Gatsby with the cool art deco surroundings. I reserved the table online with either 5.30pm of 8.30pm slot…hmm, luckily I finish at 4.30pm on Fridays so 5.30pm it was! I did bring my camera along but the room was so dark I couldn’t take justifiable pictures; so here are the images from Bob Bob Ricard’s website.
Based on these pics; the rooms look just as fab and despite requested to dress elegantly upon arrival; as long as you don’t look like you’ve come off the streets; you are fine! I was wearing jeans; over knee high boots, royal blue jumper and full face makeup with ox blood red lipstick. I really wanted to try the beef wellington however my friend only eats halal meat; I guess I will give that a go another time. I wish I could show you the pics I took from my friend’s iphone of the food I ordered; but I think I am going to save that and post it on my Facebook Page and on Instagram (check it out). So I ordered the Baked Oysters Brezhnev as my starter- a warm, creamy, cheesy combo where you can get 3 or 6 ( I ordered 3). My friend has never tried Oysters before so I am glad I persuaded her to try it…although she has yet to try raw oysters ( I will save that for another time).
As my main I went for the Beef Onglet; 28 aged scotch beef with bernaise (ridiculously amazing sauce) served medium rare with mashed potatoes as my side.
How can we leave the restaurant without trying the Signature chocolate glory; the gold chocolate orb drenched in dark chocolate sauce. Watching the hot sauce melt the chocolate base was amazing; I love novelty desserts and the orb melted slowly to reveal the chocolate jivara mousse, chocolate brownie, meringue and passionfruit and orange jelly. Can I just say; that tiny piece of orange jelly was bursting with flavours and the mousse…an absolute delight! I had such a great time with this girl; my besty for life and our night came to an end before taking couple of selfies in the ladies room (as you do). Again, check out my food pics and selfies on Facebook and Instagram. For more deets about their menu, it is available here: Bob Bob Ricard Menu. Happy Friday!!
