A number of the world’s most celebrated chefs are jetting into London to host themed evenings in collaboration with OAD, ahead of the announcement on 23 April of their famed ‘Top 100’ lists which serve as the ultimate guide to where you should eat and why, all over the world.
Whet your Appetite at these Food & Drink Pop-Ups in London
OAD was created by Steve Plotnicki in 2004, resulting from a general frustration with the reliability of the dining guides that were on the market. Years later, OAD has evolved into a highly respected guide in itself which incorporates the opinions of 5,000 of the world’s most discerning diners and annually publishes its ‘Top 100’ lists incorporating thousands of restaurants throughout the world within the context of global trends. Now widely regarded as the leading source of global restaurant rankings, OAD organises a blow-out series of events every year to announce their lists – and this year, London is the lucky host.
“As one of the finest gastronomic destinations of the world, and with so many new chefs and a multitude of cultures and cuisines represented, it feels absolutely right to announce the new winners in London this year.” Steve Plotnicki, Founder of OAD
Aponiente chef Angel Leon will be preparing dishes on the final night
From 16-23 April, OAD is putting on various pop-up dinners with some of the most exciting culinary talents in the world, culminating in the announcement dinner which this year will be themed around ‘The Great Roast’. The public can buy tickets to join a host of top chefs and food insiders for the multi-course collaborative banquet which will be held in the Great Hall of the iconic Royal Hospital Chelsea.
You will, however, have to fork out £400 – but well worth it, we think, to enjoy a gourmet take on the classic roast as prepared by Europe’s greats, including; Isaac McHale (The Clove Club), Simon Rogan (L’Enclume), Alain Wessgerber (Taubenkobel), Angel Leon (Aponiente), Bjorn Franzen (Restaurant Franzen) and Kobe Desramaults (Chambre Séparée). Your one-off chance to experience the best of European fine cuisine in one room.
