Wild Honey Opens

KM for TS; V&R, Mrs. R and RC for H&M: the fashion world has long had a grasp on the concept of giving more for less.

Thankfully, fine dining ain’t too far behind.

When it opened last year, Arbutus offered high-end food at accessible prices. The restaurant — under chef Anthony Demetre — collected its first Michelin star this year. Consequently there’s a big buzz around Wild Honey, the latest eatery from the same team, which opens today (on the old Drones Club site) in Mayfair.

Expect trademark Modern European dishes like traditional bouillabaisse; braised pig’s head with roasted bone marrow; or Cornish Pollock, followed by wild honey ice cream with honeycomb or vanilla waffles with crushed warm strawberries. Prices are just as attractive: a three-course lunch will set you back a mere £15.50, whilst dinner (before 7 p.m.) is just £17.50.

It’s food for the palate and the wallet.

Fine dining indeed.

Wild Honey, 12 St. George Street, W1S 2FB (020 7758 9160 or wildhoneyrestaurant.co.uk).
