This wide thoroughfare is in fact an extension of Regent Street with all its smart shops. It\u2019s a small area with a host of statues and monuments that honour heroes and statesmen of the British Empire and various wars.<\/p>\n<p>Waterloo Place was created at the end of the 1820s as the final section of the Triumphal Way that connects Regent&#8217;s Park with Pall Mall, started in 1810 to a design by John Nash, the famed Regency-era architect. The magnificent neoclassical buildings around the square display ornamental friezes and columns, and still offer an air of grandeur.<\/p>\n<p>Formerly the banking hall of Cox\u2019s and King\u2019s, this grade II listed building now houses Sofitel St James and The Balcon restaurant. The company has contrived to preserve original features but also showcases contemporary elements. The Balcon can be entered via the hotel foyer or directly from Pall Mall where the entrance is opposite The Institute of Directors, which also has imposing architecture. The restaurant has a double aspect onto both Pall Mall and Waterloo Place. If you ask for the table in the corner on the raised section then you can comfortably pivot your gaze between the two iconic views.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-4-3 image-review alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/img\/balcon-fizz-web.jpg\" alt=\"Balcon champagne\" width=\"318\" height=\"872\" \/> It\u2019s not fusion for fusion\u2019s sake<\/h4>\n<p>The chef, Matt Greenwood, is a new addition to the restaurant, joining Sofitel London St James in December 2015. He is a New Zealander and has worked in Melbourne, Sydney and Christchurch, before moving to London 9 years ago. He demonstrates his love of fusion on his menu but it\u2019s not fusion for fusion\u2019s sake. His flavour and textural combinations really work.<\/p>\n<p>We started our evening with a glass of English fizz. No, don\u2019t knock it! We have won prizes for our sparkling wines in international blind tastings. Balcon is a restaurant in which to linger: the high ceilings, those magnificent views and the ambiance encourage slower sipping and unwinding. Lots of time to pore over the menu.<\/p>\n<p>The menu isn\u2019t a mile long and neither is the wine list and that\u2019s reassuring. It\u2019s presentation of quality and freshness and attention to detail which elevate Balcon above some other restaurants which offer \u2018fine dining\u2019. There is a dish for every taste and a wine to accompany it, and that wine list presents the finest expressions of the main wine varieties &#8211; many can be sampled by the glass or carafe as well as by the bottle.<\/p>\n<h4>A wonderful introduction<\/h4>\n<p>I started with Twice Baked Goat\u2019s Cheese Souffl\u00e9 with pine nuts, mint and apple sabayon. A light and flavourful dish with tang from the cheese and freshness from the fruit. A simple presentation and well worth ordering. Lots of folks think they don\u2019t like goat\u2019s cheese but this souffl\u00e9 would be a wonderful introduction. Not too goaty.<\/p>\n<p>My guest ordered Yuzu-Cured Salmon with Edamame Pur\u00e9e, Wakame Salad and Tobiko. He is a good eater and enjoys fish so this was bound to be a winner. Here we had Japanese ingredients presented in non-challenging fashion. Edamame are green beans often seen in bars as a snack with drinks. Wakame is a sea vegetable, or edible seaweed, with a sweet flavour and it\u2019s good for you! Tobiko is glistening flying-fish roe. It\u2019s a common topping for sushi and can be coloured with natural ingredients and in this case it was wasabi, Japanese horseradish. This was strikingly beautiful as well delicious, and even the crockery looked Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>Lobster and Seafood Bouillabaisse with braised fennel and topped with rouille was my main course. This was truly a taste of opulence. Anything containing lobster is luxurious but this is a soup and really nothing to look at. But taste one spoonful and you will be smitten. It\u2019s rich and almost meaty. It\u2019s silky and comforting and thoroughly decadent. Indisputably French and fitting so well at Balcon with its accents of La Belle France.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"text-element body\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-4-3 image-review alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/img\/balcon-salmon-web.jpg\" alt=\"Balcon salmon\" width=\"426\" height=\"269\" \/><\/span><span class=\"text-element body\">Topping of oxtail<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"text-element body\">My companion chose Rarebreed Beef Burger with Braised Oxtail, Roasted Garlic Aioli and a pot of fries on the side. This might seem an unlikely dish for such a classic restaurant so let\u2019s consider why it works here. Firstly a burger is chopped meat and the quality of the burger is defined by that. The Balcon example is as far from fast-chain food as one could hurry. The topping of oxtail adds a meaty richness and almost creates a sauce. The bread bun was grilled and first rate, and the fries were exceptional \u2026and French!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Profiterole with banana caramel, vanilla ice cream, hazelnuts and Frangelico ganache finished our meal. This was the very essence of banana and that always works with chocolate; well, everything works with chocolate. A classic recipe given a new lease of life.<\/p>\n<p>Balcon is an attractive space, has classic good service, an outstanding location, a menu to suit anyone who has the slightest interest in good food, a wine list over which to drool, and is great value for money. Is there anything I didn\u2019t like about the dinner? Yes, it ended too soon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-4-3 image-review aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mostlyfood.co.uk\/img\/balcon-burger-web.jpg\" alt=\"Balcon burger\" width=\"493\" height=\"331\" \/><br \/>\nBreakfast:<br \/>\nMonday to Friday 6:30 AM \u2013 11:00 AM<br \/>\nSaturday 7:00 AM \u2013 11:30 AM<br \/>\nSunday 7:00 AM \u2013 12:30 PM<\/p>\n<p>Afternoon Tea: Noon \u2013 6:00 PM<\/p>\n<p>Lunch and dinner:<br \/>\nMonday to Friday 11:00 AM \u2013 11:00 PM<br \/>\nSaturday 11:30 AM \u2013 11:00 PM<br \/>\nSunday 11:30 AM \u2013 10:00 PM<\/p>\n<p>The Balcon London<br \/>\n8 Pall Mall<br \/>\nLondon SW1Y 5NG<\/p>\n<p>Phone: 020 7968 2900<br \/>\nEmail: thebalcon.london@sofitel.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sofitelstjames.com\">Visit The Balcon here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Restaurant review by Chrissie Walker \u00a9 2018<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Balcon is a truly memorable restaurant set on Waterloo Place on the corner with Pall Mall.
