A world without a sense of taste or smell would be tragically dull. Having been sick for the past week, I am, unfortunately, acutely aware of this fact. To console myself, or perhaps to motivate my recovery process, I've decided to write about Texture. The restaurant was refreshingly affordable for a michelin starred restaurant at £21.90 for 2 courses on the lunch menu. With its icelandic influences, Texture successfully pulls off a playful twist on the myriad flavours and textures that food has to offer.

Though my scallop starter was mediocre at most (I've even forgotten its name), I was delighted with my main course of cornish skate. I'd previously tried ray wing at Dinner by Heston and knowing the two are similar, I was immediately drawn to it on the menu. Somehow intensely flavoured yet light at the same time, the skate melted onto my taste buds like butter. The coconut dessert (above) that we ordered as an afterthought was a playground of textures and flavours, with the comfortingly warm coconut cake in the centre juxtaposed by cool chocolate and yogurt.
If you're looking for a light-hearted, fresh, yet reasonably priced meal, I'd suggest spending an afternoon at Texture.
