I’m hardly ever out Paddington way but word on the street was that the newly opened Busby’s had a duck special.

We start off with perfectly golden potato pave with a herb cream cheese and topped with trout roe.

Followed by a Wagyu flank tartare with egg yolk, ayruga and pickled onions and blanketed with a whole forest of fried onions.

The maltagliati pasta with mushrooms and rosemary was delicious and I loved the crunch of the pangrattato crumbs.

The king prawns are a must order, they were beautifully cooked with aleppo pepper, capers and lemon.

And finally the reason for visiting was the special of the week, the roasted duck with parsnip puree and amaretto dates. The duck is glazed in cherry vinegar and mirin and dry aged to get a super crisp skin.

For dessert we ordered the freshly baked chocolate fondant with a perfectly gooey centre and also a wobbly crème caramel with a super light coffee cream.
