Ikoyi - The Hottest Restaurant in London From Chef Jeremy Chan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 січ 2023
- A meal at Ikoyi is a unique and exciting journey for your taste buds. Chef Jeremy Chan opened the restaurant with his best friend Iré Hassan-Odukale, who is from Ikoyi, Nigeria. When Hassan-Odukale said he wanted to open a restaurant inspired by the flavors of Nigeria, Chan was all in. But the food is not strictly African; Chan grew up in Hong Kong eating Cantonese food and dim sum, and describes these flavors from his childhood as extremely influential in his cooking. The tasting menu changes seasonally, using sustainable and locally-sourced British ingredients, and serving spice-focused dishes.

What a beautiful episode - food looks absolutely divine and the chef looks Ike a genuinely kind, gentle, passionate and wonderful human being
Glad you enjoyed it!
His smile when he says, "We brush it with something called buffalo sauce" is so awesome
Great to see you doing a review of a restaurant in my home city! Fantastic vid as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This man is a true master chef. What he was able to achieve starting at 26 is absolutely insane - and it would be even if he started at 19...! This gives me hope because I'm at that age, never cooked professionally and would love to have my own restaurant one day. Even tho it's obviously fine dining there's nothing pretentious about it all. Some of the best dishes I've seen!
Hope you'll make your dreams come true!
I started cooking professionally at 28 and just closed down my first tasting menu restaurant. However, I view it as a win because of the priceless experience I have now. I am about to move to a different city and try again. You have to just do and not be afraid to fail and start again. Do not skip the market research. location location location
@@reikinaexperience1646 best of luck with your new spot! 🤞🏼
@@reikinaexperience1646 In my experience (over 40 years in the business), location is less important than I think it used to be, provided you still have parking, and of course your food is, in the words of Michelin, ‘worthy of a detour’.
It would appear from the little you have said, that you have the passion and determination to make it work. Good luck and keep us posted on your journey.
Stay away from the restaurant industry. All romance is a lie, but none is a bigger lie than this kind.
This was a very impressive video ,I loved how the chef explained the dishes ,Well Done !
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🏼
Love the video, the delicious food and chillout background tunes - love it 🙏🏽😊
Glad you enjoyed!
Very heartwarming video, I like how the chef described his Art and hard-work. Brilliant
Thank you very much!
Mr. Chan's food looks amazing. I will definitely try to visit, the next time I'm in London. Great video!
You should! Thanks
Väldigt bra filmat! Nästan så jag ställde mig på väntlistan till ett bord :)
Gjør det neste gang du drar til London! :)
I look so forward to your videos. Yum!
Yay! Thank you!
Such a gentleman and well deserved brother
I don't understand this was started by Ire Odukale, who asked Jeremy to help with a menu, before eventually joing him (Ire) as a partner. Ikoyi is a place is an upscale area of Lagos, Nigeria, where apparently, Ire was born. How is it now Jeremy's restaurant with no reference to the original founder? This is how ancient Egypt became Whyte. Why is it so difficult to give a Black man credit for anything and so easy for Whytes to take credit they don't deserve. Hopefully this unfair portrayal won't affect their friendship or partnership.
His channel are sooooo underrated
Its like ASMR + documentary
Thanks
I love the comparison to a theatrical production- it’s so true! A meal like this is both food and art.
We loved that comment too! :D
My mouth is drooooling like mad watching this. Enough. The people that run this channel have the best job in the world. Just eating this immaculate food all the time. And i mean this is the best of the best. Michellin star's all the time.
Thanks! We do enjoy our job, but it's definitely more work than most people think. Maybe why most people don't do what we do. ;D
@@andersandkaitlin I'm guessing the hard part is making the videos? Editing... work on the computer?
@@barristanselmy2758 In addition to this UA-cam channel, we have a blog and three Instagram accounts where we publish every day. We also run a worldwide food community called The Hungries with monthly events and annual food tours. To fund travel and restaurant visits, we also work with 10+ brands each year. All of this combined is 12-hour work days for 2 people and we are constantly behind on everything. :D
5:19 looks so good Truffles. can we also see this meal in South korea Seoul louis vuitton pop up restaurant? yum
you guys have got so good at making video's, well done
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Really nice editing/presentation
Glad you liked it!
Another great ep, food looks devine. Pretty nails.
Thank you 😋
went there last year and it's my favourite ever meal, thank you for covering it so beautifully
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Got a new subscriber
Awesome, thank you!
Jeremy Chan is easily one of London's best talents.
Kaitlin's nail game is, as usual, on point.
✅✅
Amazing food, definitely must go 👌
You should!
wow....im blown away..
This is amazing
Glad you liked it!
Incredible videography
Thank you
That looks good!
It was!
@@andersandkaitlin His menu is very original. The dish in the thumbnail is very interesting, along with the steamed rice.
@@BGRUBBIN exactly
Looks amazing
It was!
Jeremy chan the chef too humble he desarves what he got
Totally!
Reading more about this chef the more I love ‘em . F the brigade I am happy he is doing his thing and being successful
The sound is actually more important than the visuals. It is difficult to understand the chef.
@@freespirit5130 wut
Jeremy you are simply the best
He is!
Nice cuisine from chef jeremy
Yes, very different!
Looks awesome, will have to check it out !
You definitely should!
It’s impossssible to book this restaurant atm! And it’s amazing you get to speak with the chef! OMG
He’s a great guy!
I just checked their website and it's actually not bad at all...I was able to find multiple dinner slots as soon as July.
I know Jeremy has his detractors, but I think he's amazing
love to visit there one day
Hope you'll get the chance!
Nek Level! 🤘😎
come to Feitoria :)
I'd like to visit this restaurant some day, I just have one doubt, is it too spicy? I'm not a big fan of excessively spicy food, so I was wondering that
I wouldn't say spicy, no. Some heat, sure, but nothing too crazy.
It is v good.
Yes!
Top
My favorite restaurant, but haven’t been there for years, will have to go this year.
Do it!
Wow, they really upped their game :) Nice to see that kind of growth ❤
Better than ever!
💯
❤️ beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Love
JUST AMAZING
Thanks for watching!
unlike others, this one gave you a decent portion that is probably worth the prize
Who are you comparing with? We rarely go hungry from a tasting menu.
He seems like such a nice guy to be around. Makes me want to apply for a job 😅
Totally! So calm.
Sidenote, the muscle on top of the ribeye is a chef's secret, and absolutely - IMHO - the best piece of meat one can ever dream of eating. I'm serious...!
That's what he said too! :D
😍
I have no doubt this food will be the best in London but after seeing the prices I need to think pay rent or eat food?
Always pay your rent first!
Striking dishes. You can see the emphasis on color
Exactly!
the desserts seems to be not as well as all of the dishes ... that's sad for a 2 michelin starts :(
Definitely a less dessert focused meal, yes, but they were tasty!
you are too late with the video haha it is ikoyi 2.0 now
i did eat yesterday, flavors were extrodinary
We filmed just before the move, not much we can do about it. ;)
Is that a restaurant that just serves appetizers 😂
Do they do a decent steak and kidney pie?
Ikoi in Japanese means sth like beloved, intimate, cosy. Shoud have been mentioned....
Thanks for the info! That wasn't the inspiration for this name, though, it's named after Ikoyi in Lagos.
rich kid energy
I just got to laugh 😂... Wow!!
can you get a side of fries?
Why do people take these massive bites? It looks greedy not a show of food enjoyment.
Who are these people? Are you talking about us? 😅
Omg where the food ? One bite wonder ? N McDonald or kebab after ! But u will loss weight. But also on credit card .
More money than sense
cr4p
And I'd still be hungry after......
So he makes overpriced canapes for yuppie rubes.
Next.
Is this type of restaurant still in existence? I thought the pandemic would have brought us to our senses that is this kind of eating is just showing off, its pretentious. This isn't the purpose of food. Food is to nourish you, keep your body healthy. This kind of eating does neither
Oké
Oh my god let people enjoy things. You sound insufferable
This is the highest form of creating a dish.
Your reaction shows disrespect of what the chefs are doing you probably don’t have a clue how hard it is to get at that kind of level of creation.
Food has the purpose you give it... this is however something you don't understand
Fashion is not all about clothes, shoes, bags……if you combine fashion and dining, this what will happen….but your right about showing off co’z that’s what fine dining means after all and like those in louie vuitton, hermes, chanel, dior, etc., their designers who put their passion in what they do to make you an amazing and satisfying creation…..this chefs were the same too, means their foods were healthy co’z they have strong passion in their profession, theyre not fool like you who will cook disgusting food….next time, before you comment something, check first if the point in your view is crooked….okay😊😊😊
lol if something taste like "buffalo fried chicken and caviar" its not a good thing. I can think of about 20 restaurants/bistros i would rather go to than this place.
