Wild Honey - A Hidden Gem

Where can you get great quality cooking at a price that won’t break the bank? Sounds easy at first doesn’t it? Everyone has their own favourite value eatery. But where can you find such a place in the heart of Mayfair? Impossible I hear you cry, it can’t be done you protest! Well that’s what I thought until I visited Wild Honey a few weeks ago.

Tucked away, just off Conduit Street is Wild Honey. The unassuming exterior hides a gem of a brasserie style restaurant which serves up some of the best value modern European cooking I have come across.

The food is well presented without being fussy and the quality of the cooking is absolutely spot on. What seem some unusual combinations at first work well in reality and I found myself ordering dishes that I probably would not have done so before.

The wine list is short but contains some interesting bottles that you won’t usually come across in this part of town. We went for a lovely Pinot Noir from New Zealand which was ripe and fruity, but ever so soft on the palette.

The décor is all wood from the floors to some great cubicles. Service is sharp and to the point. None of the starchy pompousness that is found at some of the other restaurants in this area.

Wild Honey is that rare thing in restaurants today, quality dining at decent rates. If you want to try somewhere that’s a little bit special whilst at the same time great value for money give Wild Honey a go. Just don’t tell everyone as they will all want to go there.
