Anglo is now "Permanently Closed" - perhaps not a surprise after Anthony Raffo’s and Marie Danzavilliers departure.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Surely the best restaurant in London without a Michelin star!” Chef Anthony Raffo provides “modern British cooking at its finest” at this “tiny” Farringdon venture, with “novel flavours and combinations, cleverly incorporating a perfect balance of umami and other tastes; all whilst using seasonal ingredients and looking incredible”. Meanwhile, manager, Marie Danzanvilliers, presides “with great charm and hospitality”. “The venue itself is quite hipster-cool but pretty low key. At the end of the day, it is all about the food offer and they absolutely nail that!”. “It really is a hidden gem”… “No idea why the Tyre Man hasn’t come calling.”
Summary
“A tiny spot with just over 20 covers and food to die for” – the focus is very much on the “very clever cooking at an affordable price point” at this “personal” Farringdon address, run by head chef Anthony Raffo and manager Marie Danzanvilliers. The food is “super-seasonal” (“sometimes foraged within a stone’s throw of the restaurant”), “traditional techniques are revived with pickles and ferments” and the resulting dishes have “exceptional flavour combinations and contrasts”.
Summary
“Superbly original cooking” showcasing British ingredients is the hallmark of Mark Jarvis’s “unshowy, minimalist little restaurant” in Farringdon. Structured around a tasting menu of nine small plates, the “food is about as locally sourced as you can get – sometimes foraged less than a stone’s throw from the restaurant”. “The flavour combinations and contrasts are exceptional, and every dish is beautifully plated and presented”, with due attention paid to minimising waste and reviving traditional techniques such as pickling and fermenting. (Note, “while still under the guiding hand of Mark Jarvis, Anthony Raffo nowadays cooks as head chef”).
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
