Motcombs St John's Wood

Modern fine dining restaurant Motcombs has opened its newest eatery in St John's Wood, north west London.

The dry-aged fillet steak paired with the truffle mash (the best I've ever had, by the way,) and a large glass of red is seriously *chef's kiss*. The tuna tartare and goat's cheese salad starters, and the baked chocolate chip cookie with salted caramel ice cream for dessert are also truly delightful.
