Foliage review by JohnP
Yesterday I went to Foliage for lunch to sample the cooking of their guest chef, Norbert Niderkofler, from the well-regarded St. Hubertus restaurant in Italian South Tyrol. I had the Tasting menu and it was a very worthwhile experience.
The food has Austrian and Italian influences, with good and fresh flavours, and was very good value at £55. I had a glass of wine with each course, selected by the sommelier. All Italian, those produced by Jermann and Lageder were especially good. The sommelier obviously knows his "business" as it can't have been easy to find wines to accompany so well dishes such as a pine needle risotto or pasta parcels filled with Graukaese, a sharp mountain cheese from the region. The menu was autumnal in taste and "feel" and the experience was enhanced by a view of the trees in Hyde Park, an attractive picture of green, brown and gold.
Special mention for the service which was unfailingly professional and polite, yet friendly: a combination which some other restaurants of the same class can't seem to manage so successfully.
I would very happily return to sample the regular menu.
