Judy Joo Instagram – Absolutely loved my dinner at @humolondon, a hidden gem in Mayfair! The ambience captures casual elegance perfectly, a testament to their philosophy of combining the art of wood-fired cooking with the finest British produce– subtly infused with Japanese influences. Executive Chef Miller Prada’s passion for his craft is evident in every dish, transforming each meal into an extraordinary narrative of flavors and techniques. Different wood (juniper, cherry, apple, oak, birch, etc.) is selected for different dishes, imparting an unique smokey flavor that lingers on your tongue with every taste. My ‘fire dining’ experience started with a front row seat at the chef’s counter, the grill’s flames dancing as the evening’s entertainment. The scallop was a highlight, a beautiful harmony of smoky flavors, complimenting its delicate sweetness. However, it was the perfectly cooked lamb that truly stole the show, tender and rich, enhanced by a beautifully crafted beetroot sauce. I also love the trout, blinged out with glistening orbs of black caviar– tender and luxuriously silky to eat on the tongue. Another plate of note, was a simple salad– but, it was full of a joyous mix of textures and delightfully exotic greens– one of the most delicious and memorable salads I have had in ages! Dining at HUMO is an immersive experience, a journey where each dish tells its own story with the fire as the central character. Chef Prada’s explains each dish and literally makes them taste better with his impassioned words. HUMO is such a clever concept– not just a restaurant, it’s a culinary journey, Even the menu is divided into playful sections entitled Ignite, Smoke, Flame, and Embers. I’ll be back… there is a barbecued langoustine that I was eyeing…. Come on baby, light my fire! #HUMOLondon #FireDining #WoodFiredCooking #LondonEats #FineDiningLondon #GastronomyArt #ChefMillerPrada #JapaneseInfluence #BritishProduce #CulinaryJourney #LondonFoodie #GourmetExperience #ElegantDining #SeasonalFlavours #LondonRestaurants #ChefCreativity #CulinaryExcellence #GourmetLondon #ArtOfCooking #LondonFoodScene
