Rhodes Twenty Four

Gary Rhodes is a leading British chef, who has had various television shows & appearances, his trademark being a spikey hairstyle
His passion is for traditional British food, although the food at this restaurant was varied. I was lucky enough to be taken out for dinner by a client last August. I have always been a huge fan of Gary Rhodes so I was really excited to visit his restaurant, he was not there but the food did not dissapoint.

The view from the restuarant is quite spectacular being 24 floors high in Tower 42, panaromic views of the gerhkin & the city of London. We were seated by the window upon request so we had a good view. The decor is stylish & comfortable. The staff are attentive, proffessional & friendly

The food was incredible, a consume to start with to cleanse your palate & hors d'oeuvres. I chose the braised phesant ravioli with a creamy sauce scrumptious. For mains I selected veal on a bed of spinach accompanied by macoroni cheese & a tomatoe based sauce (yumm) For dessert a chocloat fondant with alcohol soaked cherries & cream. As this place is quite upmarket I am sure you can appreciate no pics of the food :-) I also cannot tell you how much the meal cost as someone else was paying, however I think it was reasonably priced for a choice of fine dining.

We did start the evening in the bar reception area & I can recommend the peach bellini.
