With nostalgia playing rampage on the zeitgeist, perhaps you remember the viral Matilda Cake that recently took over TikTok and Instagram. Well, if you remember all that drool-worthy, chocolatey goodness, then we have some excellent news for you. The OG restaurant that made this sweet-treat viral has opened its first UK location in London following its incredible success in Dubai.
Naturally, we had to go along and check it out:
Called Parker’s, the restaurant has been serving up a storm in the Middle East for a while, bringing the whimsical concept to London in the renowned Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel.
They offer a distinctive all-day dining experience inspired by global flavours and a playful twist on classic dishes. From kicking off the day with a top-notch breakfast to brunch, lunch, and dinner, you’re in for a treat no matter what time you visit, but it would be rude not to mention some of the mouth-watering options available.
For brekkie, try out the Zaatar Benedict – a toasted zaatar croissant topped with a labneh mix, avocado, poached eggs and hollandaise sauces. Or, if you’ve got a dominant sweet tooth, the fabulous French Toast Collection is for you, with toppings ranging from chocolate mousse to mango peach ice cream.
However, you’re in for a treat during lunch and dinner too! There’s a variety of inventive dishes on offer that are an absolute dream, from their Mac & Cheetos, which is a fiery twist on the all-American classic, to Spicy Toffee Shrimp – crispy fried shrimp in a buttered toffee sauce with lime ranch. Originating in Dubai, Parker’s also proudly offers a fully halal menu, with no alcohol served, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a welcoming experience.
Of course, we wouldn’t be here without dessert, and it’s the awe-inspiring Matilda Cake that quite literally, takes the cake, and needs to be seen to be believed. There’s plenty where that came from though, with a variety of delicious desserts waiting for you at Parker’s.
The restaurant officially opens for business on Friday, September 20, with only sneak peeks and competition wins experiencing this drool-worthy restaurant so far.
You can find Parker’s at Jumeriah Lowndes Hotel 21 Lowndes St, London SW1X 9E. For more information and to stay up to date with their official opening, click here to follow them on social media.
