“Discover the charm of Dorset Brasserie: where cozy ambiance meets culinary excellence in the heart of London.
For my next course, I opted for the chick- en salad box, and it exceeded my expecta- tions. The dish was brimming with flavour, featuring Mediterranean-seasoned diced chicken and chorizo paired with aromatic rice. The Greek salad on the side was a fresh and vibrant accompaniment. The slight kick from the spicy sauce and the richness of the halloumi cheese added layers of complexity to the dish. To quench my thirst, I enjoyed a refreshing blood orange mocktail that per- fectly balanced the spiciness of the meal.
One thing that struck me during my visit was the attention to detail in the presenta- tion of the dishes. Each plate was artfully arranged, demonstrating a commitment to not only the taste but also the visual appeal of the food. It’s evident that the kitchen takes pride in every aspect of the dining experience.

Now, let’s talk about the food. Dorset Brasserie takes your taste buds on a delight- ful journey. I began my culinary adventure with a vanilla hot chocolate, and it was
the perfect way to start my meal. Rich and comforting, it was a great choice, especially on a brisk day.
The “Breakfast of Champions” was a unique and delectable dish that I couldn’t resist trying. A warm waffle served with a poached egg, salmon, and melted cheese is not your typical breakfast fare, but it works wonderfully. The fine slices of avocado
and the red and green mojo sauces from the Grand Canaries added a burst of flavours that beautifully complemented the sweet- ness of the waffle. It’s a delightful combina- tion of sweet and savoury that’s a must-try.
Dorset Brasserie is a gem in the heart of London. Remzi Kozhani’s passion for hos- pitality, coupled with Chef Sergio’s culinary expertise, has created a dining destination that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Whether you’re looking for a cosy spot
