THE FACTS ABOUT THE AQUARIUM

England London

The rattle of the boats in the marina adds considerable power to the elbow of Scandinavian chef Christian Sandelfeldt at this unexpectedly individualistic outlet by St Katherine's Dock near the Tower of London. On a fine day, sitting at the tables outside contributes to the notion of London-on-sea, and a barbecue menu to the enjoyment. Sandefeldt takes inspiration from his homeland and ideas from previous posts, which include Le Gavroche and Daphne's: tomato and sea bass with fennel quesadilla and garlic purée gives you some idea of the results.
