Madison Talulah - Lets Do Dinner

Limited availability until the end of the year! Longer, planned out dates, destination dates and dates to locations from my lists will be prioritized.

Madison Talulah

London's food scene continues to evolve and improve, so I have compiled a list that hopefully will not disappoint. I'm certainly no picky eater; I'm always happy to enjoy street fare if it takes your fancy, opt for an all-vegan menu, or try something completely innovative. I want us to savor as much culinary excellence as possible. Let's discover THE best places around for A5 Wagyu, fresh Branzino, local delicacies, and a *B.E.C. Here’s hoping this will get the wheels turning…

Wahaca, El Pastor, KOL, Fonda, Santo Remedio, Cavita | Mexican
Imad's, Bubala, Oren, Palomar, Queen of Cups, Layalina, Barnaby's, Honey & Co | Middle Eastern
Smokestak, CUT, Ox Club, Upstairs at the Grill, Quality Chop House, Woodman, Hawksmoor, Humo, KÖD | Grilled Meats
Chotto Matte, Donia, Aragawa, China Tang, Bari Bari, Rai | Asian
74 Charlotte Street, Drunch, Speedboat Bar, Hjem, Motorino, Oblix, Chelsea Riverside Brasserie | Modern
Akara, Chishuru, Akoko, The Barbary, Kudu | African
Coombeshead Farm, Glebe House, Nest Farmhouse | Country

*The Bacon + Egg + Cheese spot is not on this list - that is a secret you will have to wake up with me to discover.

If you’ve been following me for more than a few days, it’s no secret to you that I love a good meal [but I hate the term ‘foodie’]. I have a passion for trying new things and learning about new cultures - especially through cuisine. Though what I love the most about food culture is the act of dining with a friend or loved one. Sharing space and breaking bread. There's something so sensual about trying something new, with someone new [and something so comforting about ordering an old favorite with an old favorite]. Food has always had a way of bringing the people in my life together, and as Madison, now even more so.

I haven't been lucky enough to try any of the three Michelin star restaurants that the UK has to offer, nor most of the two-star establishments (I had a marvellous experience at Ikoyi once) and I’ve now made it my mission to try every Michelin star restaurant in the UK before I leave the industry. Will you help me achieve that goal and create some wonderful memories at the same time?

“Who do I have to screw for a reservation at the Ledbury!?” If you’re that person, call me.

(Dates to any restaurant on my dining wish list will be prioritized and incentivized. Items in bold have been crossed off the list; bulleted date ideas/locations have not yet come to fruition.

SOURCE for my birthday during a stay at The Gilpin Hotel. I had an unforgettable, whimsical time. We were chauffeured to the restaurant where we shared some the most exquisite and romantic meal.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in my entire life!

Masa - The BEST sushi, but as we live in a ‘Pics or it didn’t happen’ era, this basically didn’t happen so I welcome you to take me (back). In all seriousness, the food and attention to detail were phenomenal.

Per Se - TUNA CONES, 10oz Tito’s martinis & 8 different types of salt. That’s all.

Le Bernardin - Still trying my hardest to recreate that Salmon spread from their menu, almost embarrassed how much I loved that simple dish despite staunchly proclaiming my dislike for Salmon. If I don't get to return, how about experimental salmon & chill at your place?

Chef’s table at Brooklyn Fare - A date brought me here for a belated birthday dinner during a weekend Fly-me-to-you. “The blues were kickin”… The Krug was flowing… until I had a severe allergic reaction to something in / or that had cross-contaminated with the dessert course. Luckily, we were in a grocery store so Benadryl was readily available, but my date and I still spent the nights in the hospital. (Somehow made it to our duo in the morning, though)

Eleven Madison Park - Could not be convinced to put my phone in a box the first time, but they got me the second.
