Continuing my conquest of London, I wanted to explore great food that was well-rewarded, and not just the same old boring fancy food that you find everywhere. So I found Ikoyi, a Two Michelin Starred joint that specialized is sub-Saharan, West African food. Um, easiest decision ever. The restaurant I went to was very small and intimate. Room for maybe a dozen parties, so it was very nice, and you felt very well taken care of. They have since moved to a new location, since my time, so I'm not sure what it looks like now, but it has to be an improvement. Anywho, so you get a tasting menu. That's your only option, which I love. Just tell me what to eat, and I'll eat it. I couldn't find a menu online, so I don't have any accurate description of what I ate, but I can give you high points and low points. But, there were no low points. The first course was three small plates, and you're already deep in the thick of things. A black rice encrusted, fried octopus tentacle was Amazing. Not chewy, crispy from the crust, served with a nice sauce. A couple other small bites take with it, not sure what they were, but one of them was definitely slathered in caviar, a nice treat. This was also one of the two or three places in London that served me sweetbread. If you don't know what that is, go look it up, be surprised, and then take my word for it that it is delicious. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. You can tell that this is a true delicacy. Their mascot is obviously a fried plantain that is coated in a blueberry salt. That big red smear looking thing you see in all the pictures, that's it. It's a nice plantain that's cooked all the way through, and coated in a coating that would be way overpowering on it's own, but it's served with a side of some yellow sauce, I forgot was it was, but I know it was necessary and created a very nice balance. Scrolling through my pictures. There was a very nice fish, an squid omelet with some truffle, an amazing rice dish with some sort of deep, earthy sauce. Gosh, it was all just so good.We finished up with three dessert courses. A matcha ice cream with some black garlic sauce. Black garlic does Amazing things to ice cream, and I recommend you play around with it. The very last plate was a trio of single bites that were fun. There was a jelly; a burnt once that was bitter on the outside and sweet on the inside. Overall, this place definitely earned its two stars. It was quite a ride. It was a lot of food. A lot of things I haven't ever eaten before. Yes. Just yes. Come here.
