Three Food Trends You'll Want to Dine Out On in 2017

Dessert Date with Dominique Ansell
While the deep-fried, sugar-laden croissant-doughnut hybrid Cronut (complete with its own trademark) that made Dominique Ansell shoot to global patissière stardom might seem the antithesis of your New Year's eating goals, his new Elizabeth Street outlet has an intriguing selection of gluten-free and raw options. Drop in to sample Eton Mess Lunchbox with “Strawberries” made of mousse and jam with black pepper, mini meringues, mini-basil, and trending ingredient-du-jour fromage blanc, or raw cream panna cotta with aged dark balsamic vinegar gelée and mead.

Clean Drinking (and Eating)
Innovative Aussie restaurant Timmy Green show us that translating the trend for green juices and clean eating into the bar menu is not but a distant dream with their Five A Daisy cocktail, composed of Zubrowka vodka, freshly juiced spinach, cucumber, celery, apple and mint and most interestingly, activated charcoal syrup, which has a plethora of detoxing health-perks to its name… After virtuously knocking back a few of these, the seasonal, veg-laden dinner menu helpfully guides the clean-minded by marking out dishes that swerve added sugar and carbs. We'll have it all! Ta very much, Timmy.

Handcrafted Pasta from Jason Atherton
The pasta trend that was sparked in 2016 by Broadway Market's Padella gains real momentum in 2017, propelled by London's rediscovered love of the delicious handcrafted carb. After a virtuous day's eating you can allow yourself to indulge and have fun watching Jason Atherton's skilled culinary magicians at work making fresh pasta for your delectation. But this pasta revival ain't about wolfing down a mountain of overcooked pasta 'n' pesto, instead, enjoy smaller plates of high quality, silken-textured strands with seasonal sauces after a fashionably bitter Campari spritz aperitivo.
