Sometimes you don’t have to travel too far for spend a romantic and relaxing evening.
I went on Time Out website to check which restaurant won the “Time Out Love London Award” and in few seconds the name of the restaurant is came out: Hood in Streatham Hill.
Hood it was part-financed by the community in a crowd-funding initiative and It’s nice to see that the founders, Robin and Melanie Frean, haven’t forgotten the people’s tribute, along the wall, you can find a blackboard with the names of this people.
We started with vegetable crudités, pide bread and hummus to share. I’m not a vegetable lovers but at this time I shouldn’t be disappointed (Who knew that vegetables became so good with hummus!?!).
For a main we had a beef braised with mash potatoes and caramelised shallot and sprouts from the christmas menu. The best choice ever. The braised was perfect, soft enough to melt-in-your-mouth.
On the end, as dessert, an amazing salted caramel chocolate pot with chantilly cream and spiced biscuits. I don’t have any words to describe them, it was so nice that I had to take the bis.
I’m definitely back!!! there are too many dishes I would like to try.
67 Streatham Hill, SW2 4TX, London
At Hood, the christmas dinner menu is running until 23rd December.
