The Ledbury is a contemporary designed restaurant serving haute French cuisine and receiving wide critical acclaim. Choose from the a la carte menu or the tasting menu.
The food was good not amazing as was the dining room. I cannot decide if I've just eaten in too many better places than this or is it just not that good.
The room was nice, not too stuffy and the staff were very friendly, even if the waiter had very bad breath.
The food started very well with taramaslata on crisp potato and deepfried quail egg with truffle mayonnaise. The loin of tuna wrapped in basil was very good, light but tasty. The gateau opera at the end was also very accomplished, my kind of dessert. Most of the fod in between was not as good. Each dish missing the mark just a little. The shellfish tortellini with pumklin and ginger should have had just a little less ginger. The venison was a little large.
My main critism of the Ledbury is the speed at which we were made to eat our meal. A six course menu must be eaten over some time or the whole experience is ruined. This is what happened to us. Good cooking sometimes is just not enough.
