A Post-RTW Reunion in London

During my trip to Argentina earlier this year, I met a few French travelers. We rented a car down in Patagonia to tour the glaciers from El Calafate.

My post from back then - http://warutravel.blogspot.com/2009/01/glaciers.html

One of the guys (kind enough to do all the driving!) was a chef at a restaurant in London. With his business card in hand, I searched online for his whereabouts and luckily found his restaurant.
I wanted to take my friends out for a nice meal as part of a thank you to their extremely kind hospitality during my stay in London (i.e. being my crash pad while in town!), and mentioned the restaurant.
To my surprise, they knew about the place….apparently a well-know, Michelin starred place.
Wow!!!
Cool!!!
I'm there.

For privacy reasons, I'm not going to disclose the name of the restaurant.
But let me just say that the food was delicious. I'm not a really big fan of French food, but this one wasn't too thick/creamy and to my liking. The presentation was wonderful, too : )
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take any good photos of the appetizers and main courses, but here's dessert:Awesome, right?! Fun and sweet!

After finishing our meals, I asked the server if the chef was in - explained my situation and expressed my desire to say a quick hello to him.
Pascal came up from the kitchen to meet me out front on our way out. How nice!!! It was great to see him. We were only able to have a quick chat and a hug, but it was very memorable, being my first reunion with a fellow traveler I met during my year-long RTW adventure.
Hope to have more of them in the future!!!
