On the Fork Restaurant and Lounge

Good eats. Be prepared to pay, however. Went to uni in London and therefore, never came close to eating here.
No offense to the City of London, but I was surprised by the clientelle of this establishment; I didn’t know people over the age of 35 lived in London. They were all here.
Found my now-​favourite wine at this resto. I enjoyed the Pan Seared Beef Tenderloin-​Ginger Scented Yams-​Poached Apples-​Foie Gras-​Veal Bone Reduction. Done to perfection.
Nice ambiance. Wait staff… at least ours… was old school and it fit the mood of the joint.

There are dining experiences in the world where, frankly, you go to for the lively conversation you’ll have, the seductive ambience, and the linger of a tasty creation along your palate as you enjoy same… rather than to actually have a significantly quantifiable meal (unless you just won the lottery).
Connected to the Museum London, On The Fork is dining art. Between my grrlfriend, her mother, and me, our «just a coffee» snack easily became coffee with carmelized pear tart and cinnamon ice cream, chocolate strudel with honey cream and eucalyptus water ice, and a lychee and rosewater sorbet for $ 50.
Had we returned for dinner, some of our choices could have been seared sea scallop and roasted duck liver with yellow hierloom tomato coolis, or roasted venison rack with Yukon Gold pave and roasted red peppers with goat cheese, or bonito-​encrusted yellowfin tuna with soy-​yuzo and cilantro sauce with nectarine and fennel.
Breakfast, brunch, and the ad-​hoc «chef’s tasting» menus offered equally elegant fare, and all with incredibly comfy sofas with pleasant extra cushions and a superb view of this controversial fountain over the Thames River that Londoners really seem very peturbed about.
This is art you needn’t suffer for. But be ready to spend.
