Frangipani

WHY GO

Frangipani must have seen hundreds of restaurants come and go in the 14 years it has been open, but it hasn’t outlasted them by staying the same. These days, it could give lessons in how to become a stalwart without becoming stagnant.

TATLER TIPS

Having begun life with a classically French menu, in recent times Frangipani has embraced new influences, namely from the Mediterranean and Asia.

• The menu changes frequently, with a great value sharing menu offered on Sundays.

• The tea-smoked petuna ocean trout with salmon roe and horseradish is a fresh and fun way to start the meal.

• The French influencecan’t be passed up when it comes to the main course of organic duck leg confit, or the dessert of Valrhona chocolate ganache.
