One of the Best Restaurants in the World
I haven't had a chance to eat at the other acclaimed English contender to the crown, "The Fat Duck" at Bray, nor even the usual winner, "El Bulli" in Roses, but I do want to give them both a go at some time. Here's hoping for a lottery win.
However, Ramsay is the best place I have ever eaten - period. I can see why it's got those three little Michelin stars. I went with eight mates for a 40th Birthday treat. We had to have the tasting menu. Eight courses of delight followed! My taste buds have never thanked me so much. The wine list was reasonable too with some good finds for not too much, although there were one or two that I would have needed a second mortgage to even have considered. For the experience and the fact that we were treated like royalty for over four hours, I thought the £160 a head bill was very reasonable. If only I could afford to eat here more often.......
Do yourself a favour and try it, just the once, you will not be disappointed.
