Discover East, Champagne Gourmet Odyssey

London: so many restaurants, so little time. With new and trendy eateries popping up all over the sprawling metropolis, it's easy to feel defeated, certain you'll never get round the many culinary delights our beloved city holds.

Enter Champagne Gourmet Odyssey, masterminds behind the ultimate gastronomic road trip. The concept is simple: explore different parts of London through a champagne reception and a three course lunch. Each course is held in a different high-end restaurant which you are seamlessly transported to via a quaint old route master. Yes, you heard correctly: three courses, three restaurants, champagne, bus.




This year, to coincide with London restaurant festival, Champagne Gourmet Odyssey will be hosting a Discover East three course lunch on 28 October. Celebrating the gastronomic highlights of East London, here's what's on the menu:

Starting at Andaz London, you'll be treated to a champagne reception before hopping on a routemaster to Parisian-style wine bar, Noble Rot, for your starter. Considered 'relentlessly, gaspingly good' by food journalist Grace Dent, Noble Rot offers a compact menu based on British seasonal produce paired with a grown up wine list.



From there, it's time to head to Quality Chop House for the main course. Since re-opening the Grade II listed building in 2012, Quality Chop House has received rave reviews. 'Hear me now', intoned Times journalist Giles Coren, 'do not make the mistake of dying before you have eaten here'. You have been warned.



Finally, the routemaster will speed you away to Yauatcha for pudding. The only dim sum restaurant in the UK to have a michelin star, Yauatcha's handmade sweets and 'delicate cakes' (Jay Rayner) are legendary. A perfect end to the perfect foodie journey.
