I TESTED One of LONDON’S MOST EXCITING Restaurants – Ikoyi (2 Michelin Star)

By



Today, we travel to London to discover Ikoyi for ourselves.
It’s a restaurant that refuses to be labeled, and loves to keep people guessing.
It’s why they’ve been called the most misunderstood restaurant in Britain.
In 2022, Ikoyi received their 2nd Michelin star. Head chef is Jeremy Chan, and the managing director is Iré Hassan-Odukale.

My name is Alexander. I’m the co-owner of a ONE Michelin star restaurant, and I’m on a mission – to find inspiration in gastronomy. I love fine dining, good wine and sharing what I know with other people.

    I actually am really interested in ikoyi, it’s like a uni student trying to overachieve an art project on portrait of self through a global looking glass hahaha … thinking Jeremy in wonderland. I feel Asian influences European cooking techniques and massive African spice personalities. Gives me Picasso type of changing era artistry or throw everything good together mad scientist tea party

    I’m not complaining, it’s so unique compared the generic fine dining it’s a punch of ‘fresh’ air

    😂bro i love youre videos but come on complaning. a restaurant gave you too much food is crazy with a bill like that

  3. @FussyPickles

    whats odd is he often stresses how chefs come from rustic poor backgrounds but then ignores how in 2024 all of his viewers have a networth of less than 10k usd

    like you can't talk about food without talking about money, literally 90% of The Bear was money, and we can't afford it and this dude is just like yea no it's great

    for whom?

    7+ billion people in this world will never afford a 2k bottle of anything, like what is this

    Heating up Stouffer's Meat Lovers Lasagna in the microwave. I already drank all of my Fosters Beers. Hahahahahahaha 😂!!!

    I will Never forget that one short clip you played Enjoying Texas BBQ for the First Time. Now That's Real Food!!!

    I enjoy your videos to a degree, but what is it with this slavish adoration of anything Michelin stars? Anyone can go to these places by just looking them up on the Michelin website and paying a few bucks. No guts to go to places which not everybody knows already anyway? And what is ist with this permanent ostentatious ordering of absurdly overpriced brand name champagne wherever you go, do you really need to show off like a Russian oligarch every time?

    Seems like a place on the edge of 3 michelin stars. The only thing holding it back is the service with its lighting. They also seem to be willing to take risks to reach the masses with their collaborations which I don't see a lot of michelin restaurants do. Your insight is as always amazing Alexander. Thank you for sharing 🙂

    At first I thought it was a liitle too much food for an average fine dining menu. But when I saw 4600 euro for 3 people…

  18. @sherryrutledge8792

    I think with that amount of money I could make you the best homemade meal you’ve ever had and I’ve never been to chef school. Definitely worked in restaurants all my life but I can honestly say you wouldn’t intimidate me at all!

    When you check the list of how to please Alexander you can see where the problems lie:
    – No Krug
    – Not enough acidity
    – Only half the meal was fine dining
    – Wait staff were not his style.
    – Too much stuff going on on the plate.
