FOXTROT OSCAR, CHELSEA, LONDON
We visited Foxtrot Oscar in Chelsea this week. With calls signs being FO, and since it’s Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant, one can only assume this means F**k Off! The restaurant is a charming little spot, not far from our garden apartment rental in Chelsea. It seats 2 tables outside, and about 10 groups inside, and has lively photos throughout. The service and the food were excellent, and we enjoyed a Pimm’s cup to start, just because we’d never had one. Turns out, they’re very sweet, which didn’t really go well with the Sicilian Olives, but one learns as one goes! My whole roasted sole was divine. We finished with Sticky Toffee Pudding, which one can only really indulge in about one a year because it’s so rich and so good!
