Are These London Restaurants Worth The Hype? - London - The Infatuation

"The Verdict: Outrageously overpriced and—bar the croissant—kind of gross.   Cédric Grolet, the French pastry chef behind this bakery at The Berkeley hotel, has nailed marketing in the age of TikTok. Video after video of him making croissants and other pastries immediately go viral, whether that’s for the visually satisfying results or his crisp boxy tees that have inspired Reddit threads. But look past the hypnotising videos and IRL, you’ll find overly sweet £25 cookies and overpriced pâtisserie that’s very much style over substance. And a very beige-looking Knightsbridge cafe. While the croissant is pretty faultless, things like a Snow White-esque green apple filled with an unpleasant dill and apple concoction mean it’s not somewhere to go out of your way for." - Sinead Cranna, Rianne Shlebak, Jake Oliver
