Xavier Rousset and Agnar Sverrisson of Texture won the Newcomer Award at the recent Caterer and Hotelkeeper Cateys Awards 2010. They were shortlisted in this category alongside Hugh Ridgway, St Moritz Hotel in Cornwall and Tom Van Zeller Restaurant in North Yorkshire. Since Texture opened in 2007 it has won a number of awards, including a Michelin star in the 2010 Michelin Guide, the Remy Martin London Restaurant ‘Newcomer of the Year 2008-2009’ Award, 3 rosette AA Guide 2008-2009, and The Independent New Restaurant of the Year 2007.
Texture is conveniently located in Portman Street and is a modern European restaurant focusing on combining different consistencies and flavours. The 60 seated restaurant and 30 seated champagne bar offers various signature tasting menus, an a la carte menu and a lunch menu. Head Chef Agnar Sverrisson, who is Icelandic, and Executive sommelier Xavier Rousset both met whilst working under Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons where they came up with the idea for a restaurant where light, healthy food and exquisite wines were of equal importance.
