Restaurant review: Tahini, Puerto Portals, Majorca

What's it's Curbappeal?:
- totally unique design, especially for this relatively traditional area... main restaurant with glasses teahouses (dining areas) situated in the small Japanese courtyard garden
- amazing sound system, with deep dish music creating a v chilled vibe
- delicious food
- watch the sushi chefs at work in the main restaurant
- minimalist but welcoming decor using stylish furnishings (eg high end lime green upholstered chairs) & funky artwork


Time of visit: Sunday night, May 2013

Restaurant review: HKK, City, London, UK

We thought we'd try out recently opened HKK - by the same folk as uber-cool Hakkasan. HKK is in a rather odd location, between the City (financial district of London) & Shoreditch. You could easily walk past it, but just look for the smartest building on the road, with floor to ceiling windows


It's Curbappeal:
- delicious & beautifully presented food
- light & airy (in sharp contrast to Hakkasan)
- beautiful private dining room
- minimalist decor


The crowd: when we had lunch it was largely city folk in suits - perhaps it's different on a night

Food & drink rating: fantastic Asian food & delicious cocktails

The bill: just over £60/head for 3courses & couple of cocktails. On the pricey side & that probably explains the City crowd as opposed to the Shoreditch crowd in here, but excellent quality of food so worth it

Anything we didn't like: we expected it to be bit more like Hakkasan - v disappointed not to see black cod on the menu but the food was equally delicious here.

Recommended: most definitely
