Harden's says
Named after the past tense of the French verb 'plaisir', Plu is the first solo restaurant from former (ten years ago) Gavroche chef Elliot Moss, who will be serving up a single tasting menu to the small room of 22 covers each night.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“If I won the lottery I would eat at PLU at least once a month!” – Elliot Moss has created something “so special” with this “cosy-yet-super-elegant” venue in St John’s Wood: “a small luxurious room with impeccable attention from the single front-of-house person” (Helen, his wife). “The best part is the food”: “dishes should score 10 out of 5 for their flavours, textures, aromas, presentation, anticipation, fun and excitement”; and “betray a lovely sense of humour too”. “How on earth Michelin continually fails to recognise PLU is a travesty of justice!”
Summary
“It is a complete mystery how the Michelin guide has failed to recognise Elliot Moss’s wonderful food creations”, say followers of his tiny but “opulent” three-year-old in St John’s Wood, where the only option is an extended tasting menu. “The chef is a true artist who does everything himself: each phenomenal and fun dish looks too good to eat but the visuals are actually secondary to the insanely addictive deliciousness of the flavours” (“his foie gras dish leaves you desperate for ‘just one more mouthful’… and I don’t even like foie gras!”) Fooderati insiders, Koffmann & Vines, also waxed lyrical over their meal here this year, proclaiming it ‘a true gastronomic experience’. “May he go from strength to strength.”
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
