Flesh & Buns - THE place to eat!

Following the recommendation in the Emerald Street newsletter last week, I went for lunch at Flesh & Buns in Covent Garden. And it turns out to be a real in place - listed as 'restaurant of the week' in Time Out and getting loads of good reviews, including in today's Metro.

Flesh & Buns is part of Bone Daddies - a trendy ramen bar on Peter Street (W1F 0AR). It refers to itself as an Izakaya (according to Wikipedia) - a Japanese drinking establishment that also serves food.

We had the braised pork belly with mustard miso and pickled apple and the crispy duck leg with sour plum soy and turnip pickle. Each came with two steamed buns, lettuce, cucumber, sauce and pickle. There was so much meat that we ordered two more buns. It's certainly not cheap (£14) but was very yummy! And it's fun to prepare your own buns :-)
