Recipient of three Michelin stars, Gordon Ramsay is a world renowned chef and owner of several restaurants. Gordon Ramsay is renowned for his fiery temperament and excellent French food - as a consequence you will have to book well in advance (about a month) to be sure of securing a table in his small and intimate restaurant that serves a variety of classic French dishes. They have been awarded 3 Michelin stars, and as such are the only restaurant in London with this accolade.
This really is the best restaurant in London. The food here is on another level and the service is flawless. I could talk about the food for hours becaus there wasa so much and all of it perfect. The list begins: pumkin veloute with white truffle, cepe butter and brioche (wow), seared foie gras with carrot puree, sweetbreads & cabernet sauvignon vinegar (wow, wow), seared scallops with octopus carpaccio & parmesan veloute (wow), truffle stuffed turbot fillet with civet sauce (more please), fillet of sea bass with deep-fried oyster, potatoes, broccoli & caviar sauce (delicious), pressed terrine of chicken, foie gras & truffle, the list goes on and on.
I dined with my wife and two friends. Two of us ate one tasting menu and the others had a different one allowing us to consume some 25 or so dishes. I am really struggling to find a way to convey just how good it all was. At times I thought I might be dreaming and had to pinch myself to make sure it was all happening. The balls of strawberry ice-cream coated in white chocolate arrived at the table with dry ice spilling all over the place, adding to my dream theory.
The service was fantastic. They knew all our names and charmed us all night. We even met Mr Ramsay who chatted with us and was very funny. A tour of the immaculate kitchen followed and by the end of the whole experience I was wondering if anything I would eat in the future would ever be that good again.
I am salivating! Gordon Ramsay is on my list, when I have something special to celebrate. Have heard similarly ecstatic reviews from some other friends who claim that the lunch menu is pretty good value for what you get...
