All Taste London members simply have to visit the Admiralty - housed in a grade two listed building that was once home to the Naval Operations Office, the Admiralty at Somerset House is a truly grand experience from the moment you set foot on the grounds to the moment you´ve finished your meal. 

The dining room is divided into two rooms (the ´Green´ Room and the ´Orange´ Room), of roughly equal size and décor, although the Orange Room is a bit larger. Chandeliers in the shape of galleons remind us of the building´s heritage - these hang above the rows of lined clothed tables and long banquette´s steps.

So enough about the decorations and surroundings what about the food?!

Well what can we say except for ´truly divine Modern British cuisine at it´s best´?!

The service also matches the scene and cuisine; graceful and inviting.

Each dish on the menu is paired with wines selected by the service team. On the a la carte menu you purchase them by the glass. The menu (which changes often) offers such dishes as Terrine of Fois Gras, Goats Cheese Tart, Roast Sea Bass and Venison Rump - a wide and varied selection. The Fois Gras is perfect, presented very well with the classic accompaniment of jellies and brioche.

The crab tortellini is also very good. For entrees, the Roast Sea Bass with Saffron Sauce is an excellent choice as is the Venison with Artichoke Puree - both very flavourful and presented elegantly.

Chef´s Speciality Dish:

Loin of venison, glazed apple, parsnip puree with juniper and bay leaf jus – it is delicious, but you could confidently order from any corner of the menu.
