FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The smart and chic restaurant is, in Beck’s own words, “all about the food”. He’s right, but it’s hard not to notice and admire the beautiful dark wood interior and open kitchen behind floor-to-ceiling glass doors.

VIBE
The combinations on the menu might sound a little serious, and the decor tell of a class and style most thrive to be a part of, but with every stage of the experience being educational, it’s also got a real energy, however quiet, about it.

WHAT TO ORDER
From the caramelised chocolate and foie gras, and the gooey explosions of the fagottelli carbonara, to the Raspberries 1.1, there is an education in flavour matching throughout the six courses.

IDEAL FOR
Special occasions. This is top end, make no mistake. It’s not inaccessibly so, but you feel impressive just by being there.

INSIDER INFO
Beck’s own website homepage carries a quote from Andy Warhol. His love of art is obvious to see in his cooking.

FINAL THOUGHTS
The name may be Heinz, but this is as far from baked beans as it’s possible to get.
