Summer is here and rooftops are aplenty. Savage Garden at the top of the Double Tree by Hilton hotel isn't the finest view in the city, but it's still a good view of the Tower of London and Tower Hill - and that really isn't bad at all. With 50% off food and 25% off (the still expensive) drinks, there was probably no other occasion I would find myself here.
- Plantain chips
- Charred octopus (fennel, orange chermoula, toasted kasha)
- Pork tomahawk (black pudding fries, salsa verde)
- Fried chicken sliders
- Coconut beef short ribs (savageslaw)
- Whole seabass (samphire)
- Beef sliders
- Calamari fried (served on a pineapple top)
- Doughballs with caramel and jam syringes
The food was good overall with nothing outstanding. The octopus was tender, the pork was excellently cooked and had a simple pork and salt flavour, and the beef rib had a tender Asian slant.
I don't think I'll be back. But it was nice to be in that area for a change.
