Sunday Shop: EAT: DSM Haymarket Roast chicken at the Connaught Elbows at the ready: DSM Haymarket has officially opened its doors. The new, huge store on Piccadilly will still stock the usual suspects, such as Azzedine Alaïa, Raf Simons and, of course, Comme des Garçons, while new, big brand additions include Gucci and Saint Laurent — to name a couple. Plus, we hear there’ll be a special project by Vêtements. Fingers crossed this means a chance to nab a pair of those sold-out cult jeans. Do your Sunday roast the Hélène Darroze way. The Michelin-starred chef has just launched her new roast chicken menu ‘Le Poulet du Dimanche’. It starts with a confit egg yolk emulsion served in a golden egg, followed by a chicken consommé and chicken liver royale. Then, it’s time for the ultimate roast chicken, stuffed with herbs and wild garlic served with black truffle gravy. For dessert, choose from three egg dishes – crème caramel, a floating island perfumed with passion fruit and lemongrass or olive oil madeleines. Decisions, decisions. 11am-6pm Prices vary 18-22 Haymarket, SW1Y 4DG 12pm-11pm £95 per couple Carlos Place, W1K 2AL Book now: Auction Against Hunger For a fill of London’s best dishes, all in one sitting, book a ticket to Auction Against Hunger.
