A Unique Dinner Companion
“The man who can dominate a London dinner table can dominate the world.” – Oscar Wilde
Living in London, we have some of the world’s greatest cultural and gastronomic experiences at our fingertips. It would truly be a shame to waste these opportunities, so here are a few of my favourite haunts – I’d love to visit them with you. I make an excellent London dinner companion, my appetite for scintillating conversation only matched by my appetite for good food and drink.

Hunan – One of London’s best Chinese restaurants. Expect Hunanese cooking with lots of heat
Blanchette – Exquisite French food in a romantic and informal dining room
Bob Bob Ricard – Russian inspired cuisine in an extravagant setting. Don’t forget to push the button for Champagne!
