D&D London’s Managing Director, David Loewi said: “We are absolutely thrilled that Igor has accepted the role of chef patron at Orrery. His passionate approach to cooking has established Orrery as a beloved destination among Marylebone locals and Londoners alike and truly deserves its recent 3 AA Rosette accolade.” Recently refurbished in May 2015, Orrery is a luxury French restaurant in the heart of Marylebone, boasting an elegant dining room on the first floor of a converted stable block with a stunning view overlooking St Marylebone Church gardens through large arched windows. It offers a menu of unashamedly luxurious French cooking reflected in dishes such as this season’s Truffle and potato ravioli topped with mushrooms and butter emulsion; Dorset sea bass, herbed crust, wild mushroom, horseradish cream and beetroot; Partridge, braised cabbage, pancetta, orange and jus; and Citrus and Bourbon vanilla crème brûlée and clementine sorbet. It also has a legendary cheese trolley showcasing an impressive selection farmhouse cheeses. Igor previously worked at the Michelin-starred Mirabelle restaurant in London’s Mayfair as Head Chef. Igor joined Mirabelle as a sous chef in 1999 before quickly being promoted to senior sous chef in 2000.
