Restaurant Gordon Ramsay

Awful food.
Took 3 hours to get to me and it was absolutely cold.
Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, I payed hundreds of dollars for food and it was just an awful experience overall.

4.5 star ( Unilocal) and 2.5 star Michelin.
Food and service were executed perfectly. But there was no longer excitement in the dishes.
I first ate here 15 years ago when Gordon was still cooking in the kitchen, and the 9 course lunch was fantastic. The food woke me up despite the jet lag after having just arriving in London from California. I was awed by almost every dish.
The current chef still deliver a superb meal, but flavor and texture of the dishes are very predictable.
Service was perfect. Wine list was very good as many bottles are reasonably priced.

Recommended! Really good food
In particular I liked how dedicated staff are!

The lobster ravioli and suckling pig are culinary perfection. The ravioli was fresh and meet of the lobster was creamy, sweet, and perfectly cooked. The pig skin was the best I have ever had, ever. To get that texture takes a lot of experience and time. Great great dishes.
The compressed foie gras is complex. The texture and temperature were done perfectly but the dish came out underwhelming in taste and seasoning. With the garnishes it does bring the dish to a different level but I believe the foie gras should be able to stand by itself.
Staff was friendly and attends to the tables well. I had a tour of the kitchen and it’s superb as you’d expect.

This is one of the 3 Michelin star restaurants in London so I have decided to splash out and try it since I am a foodie.
This establishment is located in Chelsea and it is quite a walk from the tube station so do plan your journey a bit. We were lucky to get a table for 2 about 3 weeks before the reservation date as I think there was some cancellation.
The restaurant is actually quite small and very intimate. I was hoping the atmosphere was going to be quite chilled and relaxed. However, due to the number of people in the room, everyone was talking away and it is actually quite noisy for a Michelin starred restaurant. I was here with a friend and not a date so it didn’t really bothered me.
The service was beyond perfect and I give them full marks for it. Very attentive waiters and waitresses and no mistake done. We are not locals and we could see quite a few tables with foreigners here but everyone was treated with respect and with no attitude. This is what makes a good restaurant.
The wine list is extensive. We asked the sommelier to recommend wines that go well with our courses and all of them were perfectly paired. If you want to pair it with your 7 courses, it is usually about £100 per person but you may have less and pay less so it really is up to you.
I am not going to go into details on each of the dishes that I have tried. I had the seasonal tasting menu and my friend had the prestige tasting menu. The pictures that I have posted speaks for itself and what you will be expecting from the dishes. We also tried a bit of each other’s food so that we know how the food was compared to other Michelin star restaurants.
Unfortunately for us, the food I have to say is not up to a 3 Michelin star quality. Maybe we went in expecting too much from this restaurant but I have been to some 1 & 2 starred restaurants and the flavour and taste of their food did surpass Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. I believe that the quality and taste of the food is more geared towards a 1 star quality especially for the price that I am paying. The Prestige menu was priced at £145 and the Seasonal menu was priced at £175. Of course, the Seasonal menu tasted better than the Prestige menu since it is more expensive.
I think this is a one in a lifetime experience which I agree as it is after all a 3 Michelin star restaurant from Gordon Ramsay. However, I don’t think I will come back as we came here to give a 3 star a try. Just not value for money and definitely not a 3 Michelin star I was expecting food wise. Sorry but I do think you guys can definitely do better on the food. The rating I have provided reflects the value and also the quality & flavour of the food when compared with other Michelin starred restaurants I have tried.

Easily the best restaurant I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating at.
The whole experience is exactly what you’d expect from a three Michelin star establishment.
The setting is beautiful and with only only 12 or so tables very exclusive so book well ahead. Chef Patron Clare Smythe is absolutely brilliant at the helm, her dishes interesting, delicious and beautifully presented.
The Maître D’ Jean Claude is extremely attentive, knows every dish, and gives you the full explanation upon its arrival. The staff are excellent, always there when you need them, while never hovering or interrupting. All of the staff make you feel extremely welcome.
Jean Claude asked is if we would like to see the kitchen and meet the Chef before we left which we did. Clare was also very welcoming. The kitchen was very well organized, and probably the cleanest I’ve ever seen.
I had the pressed foie gras, braised confit and roasted Herdwick lamb and Lemon soufflé. The wine selection is excellent and they add nice touches between courses of little complementary tasting dishes from the Chef. One of which after desert and before coffee were handmade ice cream sweets in white chocolate shells served in liquid nitrogen.
The prices are very reasonable for the experience you get and well worth paying. I’ll definitely be back.

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay is a 3 Michelin Starred Restaurant in a quiet area of London. I unfortunately made the same mistake of booking a very late reservation (the only one available a few weeks ago) and sure enough, this was not as great of an overall experience as I’d hoped. Made the same mistake of booking 9:30 PM reservations at three other NYC 3 Michelin Star restaurants (Le Bernadin, Jean Georges and Daniel before it lost a star) and all of them were just OK to me — nothing special whatsoever. You would think that a restaurant is responsible for quality no matter what the time but I’m finding that this just isn’t the case consistently.
When it comes to high end «French» restaurants, you hold a very high standard to how every dish is prepared and that the flavors of the courses are that which you only find at that restaurant in the entire world. Other Unilocalers had a great experience but again, I’m assuming that the late reservation impacted our total experience completely.
My girlfriend and I entered and were walked to our table in the very minimalistic yet cozy dining room. Most of the tables were filled but I can presume that since it was already 9:30 PM, some diners already finished their dinner.
You have the option of an a la carte, a traditional Prestige menu or a «Seasonal Inspiration» menu. What is cool is that you aren’t obligated to order one menu per table so my girlfriend requested the Prestige and I did the Seasonal.
The Seasonal one:
1) Poached Langoustine with caviar and celery — Surprisingly very fishy and did not taste at all fresh. Did not finish.
2) Linguine with black truffle and mushroom — Excellent!
3) Dover sole — Another fishy flavor unfortunately. Did not finish.
4) Roasted loin of Highland Venison — The gamiest venison I’ve ever eaten at any Michelin Star restaurant.
5) Vacherin Fondue — So good!!! A very great flavor on a traditional cheese fondue.
6) Lime Sorbet with shiso and coconut mousse — Pretty good but not memorable
7) Clementine Parfait with orange mint and lemon thyme — Pretty good but not memorable
The Prestige menu:
1) Pressed Foie Gras with green apples, turnips, watercress and smoked duck — Enjoyed
2) Ravioli with lobster, langoustine, salmon, oxalis and wood sorrel — Again felt was fishy but she enjoyed
3) Poached isle of Gigha halibut — Alright but not memorable
4) Roast pigeon with fennel, lavender, honey and blood orange — GAMEY
5) Soup with mango, jasmine and passion fruit — Good
6) Sorbet with green apple, chamomile and marigold — Alright but not memorable
7) Lemonade parfait with honey, bergamot and sheep’s milk yoghurt — Very good
They ended the meal with pretty cool white chocolates (I believe) that came out in a very smokey box.
Service was impeccable for sure. The food and experience were just not my taste compared to every other 3 Star around the world — the fish were fishy tasting and the meats were gamey and difficult to cut and eat (not cooked all that well).
Also not a fan that they didn’t leave us with any takeaway, not even a takeaway menu of the experience. :(
DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BOOKING LATE NIGHT RESERVATIONS!

Three Michelin stars since 2001 huh?
They definitely deserve it.
The wine list is extensive and detailed. Have fun with that if you’re a connoisseur.
Impeccable service à la russe in an unassuming location, with 3 prix fixe menus to choose from. My cousin and I each had the menu prestige, and made slightly different choices to try to cover as much variety as possible. (see photos)
My favorite dish was the ravioli of lobster, langoustine, and salmon. What really blew me away was the texture of the dish. It was perfectly folded and completely packed full of seafood.
To keep it short, every dish was cooked exactly as described to perfection. The dishes are influenced by local flavors (you’ll see it in the herbs, especially) so it is a good way to become intimate with that cuisine.
The décor could have used a little help. The wood paneling on the walls makes me think they’re getting ready to pack up and close shop. The seating is intimate, and we had a wonderful table right next to the window.
The service itself from making the reservation to leaving the restaurant was beyond expectation. No detail is too small for their staff.

My wife and I are so lucky to have had this experience. We had the perfect lunch. On a scale of 1 to 5, it was a solid 10!
We were greeted warmly and taken to a great table in a relatively small restaurant – and a place they do not strive to turn their tables.
Maitre d’ Jean Claude immediately came to our table. He was the perfect host to us and the other diners at this sold out service.
Head Sommelier Jan was flawless as he helped Nancy select a wine that was just right for her. She sampled several as he narrowed down to the target wine. It must have been over the top, as she had 4 glasses of it.
Words cannot describe the seasonal tasting menu prepared by Chef Patron Clare Smyth. The food was delicious and plated so beautifully. This was their first day back following a long Christmas holiday. She and her staff did not miss a beat.
The manager for the front of the house left about 6 months ago and his assistant has been promoted to manager. He was absolutely delightful and his staff took excellent care of us all day.
On a sad/​happy note – Chef Smyth will soon be moving on to captain her own restaurant. We we fortunate enough to be able to catch her for a brief moment to wish her well and assure her that we would find and support her new endeavor.
Any who follows Chef Ramsay must see how he supports women in their efforts to achieve greatness. This is a prime example of just that. I hope Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In organization is taking note and giving credit to this fine man and great mentor.

So we made reservations for two people six months ahead of time as that was how far out they were booked
I had the Menu Prestige (£145) and my date had the Season Inspiration Menu (£195) — both choices were terrific in their own right. The evening started off with three little sets of complimentary dim sum-​like gems from the kitchen. Each bite was exquisite and we saw that no two tables had quite the same complimentary gems to start. Good touch!
The plates from Menu Prestige are as follows:
1. Pressed foie gras, green apples, turnips, watercress and smoked duck — This was good but it wasn’t as good as the other dishes.
2. Ravioli of lobster, langoustine and salmon poached in a light bisque with oxalis and wood sorrel — This was easily the best savory dish from the whole set. It was just heavenly.
3. Isle of Gigha halibut, Atlantic King crab, finger lime and ras el hanout infused broth — The prettiest broth I have ever seen — it reminded me of colorful sakura blossoms drifting about on pond water.
4. Roast pigeon with fennel, lavender, honey, orange and sautéed foie gras (you can opt for the Cotswold lamb if you wanted to) — this was the main dish. They used every part of the pigeon and it was cooked to perfection.
5. Mango, jasmine and passion fruit soup — Simple, wildly fragrant and not too sweet — it was perfect
6. Green apple sorbet with chamomile and marigold — This dish had the most interesting presentation; you are given a mortar and pestle to pound away (gracefully of course) at the frozen herbs to be eaten with the green apple sorbet. Refreshing!
7. Lemonade parfait, honey, bergamot and sheep’s milk yoghurt sorbet — The most amazing dessert presentation that I have ever seen. The honey had been crystallized to form a perfect centerpiece to complement the yogurt sorbet.
After we were done with our dinner, we were invited back to see the magic in the kitchen. Amazing service and superior attention to detail from the whole staff. Best dinner experience in London.

Although the food was exquisite, the service, unfortunately, was not.
I had lunch at the Gordon Ramsay Restaurant on Nov 4. I showed up and was charged 200 pounds directly to my lunch meal. I understand the importance of no-​show fees, but here’s what was wrong.
— 2 people in our party of 4 couldn’t come, and my friend had called a week in advance to change the party size (the restaurant requires 48 hrs advance notice)…only, the restaurant didn’t actually change our party size.
— The people who showed up (myself and a friend) were charged 100 pounds/​person for the people who didn’t show, even though I wasn’t liable for the reservation. My friend who couldn’t come had made the reservation, and the charge should’ve gone to the card on file for the reservation (her card).
— Gordon Ramsay restaurant has conflicting «no-​show/​cancellation» policies on their OpenTable home page, their website, OpenTable confirmation email, and information relayed by the restaurant representative. Only the person making the reservation on OpenTable had access to the «accurate» policy — which apparently is that the party size has to be successfully changed. Notifying the restaurant isn’t enough.
— Also note, the per person no-​show fee is 100 pounds, but the lunch menu is only 65 pounds per person.
During the actual dining experience, the manager stopped by all tables except ours, and I was told to contact the restaurant via email.
It then took 10+ emails for the manager to admit that Gordon Ramsay should’ve charged the card on file. Turns out, he didn’t charge the card on file because the process is longer and more complicated (he has to go through an account executive at the main office). Regretfully, the manager didn’t realize that as he cut some corners on the correct process and charged the fee directly to the meal of people who did show up, my dining experience was negatively affected. I still have yet to receive an apology for the miscommunication from Gordon Ramsay and the way in which the no-​show fees were handled.

So here is my sad, but quick tip to you:
— If your complete party can’t make it, order the lunch set menu for the «invisible people» in your party. You’ll save 35 pounds per person. The no-​show fee is 100 pounds, but the lunch set menu is only 65 pounds.

If one is to pay ~300 pp for a meal (that’s how much the menu prestige will come to after london tax, tip, water, etc.) then this better dinner better knock your socks off. I better walk away with something to remember, something deserving of praise, and something that will make me say… i will never be able to make that myself. Well, the halibut in the lime and rose infused broth is to die for. I spent a good minute just smelling, starring, and appreciating this work of art. It was so beautiful, my heart cried a little as I carved into the masterpiece. But then the joy was restored as a party ensued in my mouth. Unforgettable.
My party was the last to leave the restaurant and it was already past midnight, but we didn’t feel rushed at all. If every dinner was like this, I think I would die an extremely happy and round-​bodied glutton.
The loss of a star is simply secondary to comparison with other 3 michelin star restaurants I’ve been to… gotta have some standard of comparison! But this is like saying Tom Brady is a 4 star QB and Peyton Manning is 5 star QB (heehee…just wanted to stir some waters with that comment :)

I had to try out a 3 michelin star restaurant so I picked Gordon Ramsay to be the place.
{ABOUT}
— Booking: Online, I reserved less than a month in advance and I had no problem
— Photos are only allowed on your phone (No DSLR’s as it bothers the experience of the other patrons)
— Dress: Smart Dress Code (jackets are preferred, shirt with a collar required for gentlemen, no T-​shirts, shorts, sportswear, sneakers or trainers of any kind)
— Cancellation /​No Show Fee: £150 /​person if you don’t cancel within 48 hours — so don’t miss it. They will call you a few days ahead to confirm your reservation.
{ATMOSPHERE}: ³⁄₅
— A tiny lovely little restaurant. From the outside, it looks so unsuspecting
— It gets quiet noisy actually as the people fill in
{SERVICE}: ⁵⁄₅
— One of the best, always someone to be folding your napkin when you go to the restroom or to help you out of the chair.
— Staff was very welcoming and took the time to explain the menu to us commoners and give recommendations: p
— They even took out my fish and showed me how it smelled before serving it to me all nicely plated
{FOOD}: ⁴⁄₅ ~ Everything was good and plated amazingly, but it was nothing impressive. My family ordered 3 courses off of the a la carte menu (£110 per person). They give you a bunch of entremets in between courses.
[Appetizers]
— Ravioli of lobster, langoustine and salmon poached in light bisque with oxalis and wood sorrel: Um it seriously looks like a giant wonton and taste like a wonton. I wasn’t very impressed with this dish. The server told me it was one of their signature dishes that had been on the menu for 10+ years.
— Pan Fried Sea Scallops: Yum, the sauce was especially lovely.
— Cornish Brown and King Crab with radishes, kombu, sesame and oyster emulsion: Similar to a crab salad? I kept thinking it looked like a imitation crab salad from a Japanese restaurant. But it tasted way better and was quite delicious
[Entrée]
— Roast Pigeon: Never tried pidgeon before and it was a intriguing experience. It’s definitely something to try! I liked it very much and just taste a bit like duck.
— Cotswold Lamb: Definitely worth to get. The meat was so tender and great.
— Cornish Turbot: Just amazing, the fish was so buttery and just melted in your mouth. They bring out the fish for you to see before they plate it and smelled wonderful.
— Filet of sea bass: was alright.
[Dessert]
— Soufflé: a MUST get. This was the best dessert by far. The soufflé was so poofy and tasted absolutely like a cloud. Just stunning.
— Caramelised tarte Tatin of apples with tahitin vanilla ice cream: Just like a giant apple pie honestly. Two people have to order this but I thought it was too much for me to handle half so I just ended up eating the apples lol.
— Caramel Milk Chocolate, praline and malt mousse with treacle granola and hazelnut milk: A very beautiful chocolate cake pretty much. Would recommend if you like taking photos of pretty food or chocolate desserts.
Overall, the experience was quiet pleasant and nothing less expected from a 3 michelin star restaurant. However, I saw nothing special and unique about it.

This was a fantastic dining experience on my recent honeymoon. We booked a table months in advance and it did not disappoint. I will say that the restaurant was smaller than I thought it was.
My husband and I both had the menu prestige. I was wonderfully surprised when my husband actually liked the foie gras! (He tries to be adventurous.) His favorite was the lobster and langosteen ravioli and mine was too. The lemon sorbet dessert was also to die for!
The service here is top notch and I would have expected nothing less. The bathrooms here are unisex, which is unexpected. So the moment you stand up, there’s always someone who spots you and walks to you the bathroom. Bread plates were always full and glasses were too. The staff were definitely not sleeping on the job!
Lastly, we got to tour the kitchen! The Matre’D was very nice and brought us in. Great touch to the perfect night!

As many have mentioned, the restaurant is elegant with great service but unfortunately I was not super impressed with the food. I think my expectation was too high.
We got the 7 courses menu.
Pros:
I thought the portions were just right.
Great service! — but with one oops at the end by the biller. For some reason, she was unable to comprehend splitting the bill by ¹⁄₃ and ²⁄₃. It took 3 tries to get it right.
The food overall looked good and tasted decent.
This was by far the most expensive chef choice I’ve tried so far likely because the pound is so expensive. For some reason, the food just did have enough wow factor for me. Definitely not bad food though.
My favorite were the cucumber sorbet mixed in the mint, lemon verbena and burnet salad. Very creative and tasted refreshing.
We also had:
Foie Gras with green apples, turnips watercress and smoked duck. — well prepared but did not leave a lasting memory in my palate.
Lobster Ravioli — somewhat bland for my taste.
Halibut with King Crab and lime, Cauliflower Cous-​Cous and Ras el hangout infused broth — The broth compliment the halibut really well. The flavor was fresh. The fish was cook to perfection. The dish was also very pretty. I enjoyed this dish a lot.
Cotswold Lamb with vegetable
Bresse pigeon
— both decent but not memorable.
Good one time experience.

Michelin Three-​Starred, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, London. This is Gordon’s very first restaurant opened in 1998. In 2001 it was awarded the three michelin star restaurant. There are two three michelin star in London: 1. Restaurant Gordon Ramsay 2. Fat Duck. This is the only three michelin star restaurant in London at the moment since the «Fat Duck» has been closed down for its renovation. Hence booking a spot for lunch or dinner is very difficult for even some celebrities and politicians. This was probably one of the best three michelin star restaurant I have dined. Purely elegant, service was excellent, I would like to dine here again in the future.

Three Michelin stars does not disappoint!
My husband is a huge Gordon Ramsay fan and so when we were planning our trip to London we had to stop off and eat at one of his restaurants!
We planned the trip very last minute so we were not hopeful of getting a reservation. As everyone says, looks like you have to book months in advance to secure a table, we had weeks lol. I watched the opentable reservations like a hawk and managed to score a last minute lunch reservation for a Thursday!
Make sure you leave ample time to make your reservation as we had to call an über to get over to the Chelsea area as there was a tube strike occurring.
We made it on time and were seated at once. The service was impeccable. We were started off with a glass of champagne followed by our choose of butter and breads. There’s one with bacon, a pretzel roll, and Irish soda bread. All the breads are delicious so you should have all of them and a lot of them as much as you can!
Then comes the hard part, what to eat? We were really tempted to try the prestige menu which had 7 courses which is what the restaurant was known for but it was lunch time and we wanted to save room for more snacks and food as we explored London a little more. So we went with the 3 course lunch menu and added on wine pairings for our starters and mains. I had the agnolotti with fresh peas as a starter while my husband went for the steak tartare. My agnolotti pasta was soo good. The flavors were very delicate but had a lot of flavor! My husband looked happy with his steak tartare as well.
For the mains, I ordered the Cornish cod while my husband ordered the poussin. I loved all the flavors of the cod and loved the shiitake mushrooms. The poussin was cooked very well as well.
The funest part was the desserts. Not only were our desserts delicious, we got extra desserts as well! The white chocolate covered strawberry ice cream balls were served in a tin with dry ice so that was a fun effect! My favorite of the extra dessert with the peanut butter brittle. Soo good.
Yes it’s worth the money to come here! The service and food here are all top notch! I’ll be watching the dinner reservations on opentable to come back for the prestige menu!!!

Wow.
Honestly, did you expect anything else? The volatile celebrity chef really does know what he’s doing when it comes to restaurants.
Easily the best dinner experience of my life.
Came here on a Monday evening with 2 other acquaintances visiting from Italy. Since we are all from America and only staying in Europe for short time, we figured we might as well treat ourselves to a extremely special dinner.
The service was wonderful. The sommelier, instinctively telling that we were college students, gave my friends (I don’t drink) a cheap but wonderful wine recommendation, which they eagerly accepted. The matire’d, apparently renowned in London for his welcoming nature, greeted us, asked where we were from, and genuinely seemed interested in a trio of kids that didn’t seem to belong.
All three of us got the tasting menu, The food was stunning. Everything was prepared incredibly carefully, and the presentation was a visual masterpiece. We couldn’t help but to take pictures of the food, which I feared would make us stand out in a room of the mature and sophisticated.
It started with a small collection of starters that included scotch eggs. Next camethe pressed Foie Gras, which had a smooth texture and sweet tartness to it due to the green apples. Then we moved onto the Isle of Gigha Halibut, which was presented with this ras el hanout infused broth. The flowers that laid atop the delicate fish were a delightful surprise, both visually and in flavor.
The Ravioli of lobster, langoustine, and salmon is undeniably the star of the show, being one of the signature dishes. Easily the best ravioli I’ve ever had in my life, I was saddened when it so quickly disappeared off my plate. I eased the pain away by licking the delicious bisque that accompanied it.
Next were the Cotswold lamb, Mango Jasmine and passion fruit soup, Cucumber sorbet (which was used as a palate cleanser), and finally dessert with Lemonade parfait. The Lemonade parfait was truly an incredible way to finish off the meal. It was possibly the most beautifully extravagant concept for a dessert I have ever had the pleasure of eating. The transparent sauce that aligned the plate was especially delicious.
After our meal, the matire’d actually invited us into the kitchen. We were eager to see Claire and thank her for the meal, but unfortunately she had left by the time we finished. The kitchen trip was a unique experience in its own right, as I have never seen the kitchen of a restaurant before, much less that of a 3-​star Michelin one!
Afterwards, our maitre’d bid us farewell, wishing us a good night and safe travels back to our respective homes in the states. I was astonished he actually remembered all of our cities, but in retrospect, I shouldn’t have been surprised such an impressive man would be in charge of such an incredible restaurant.
It’s been a few months since that night, but I still look back upon it with fondness. Hopefully one day I will be able to return to Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, and enjoy another unforgettable meal.

Everybody knows it, lovers and haters. In two words, Gordon Ramsay. And this is his flagship restaurant. Here you do not dine out, this is a food experience, this is a culinary trip. You don’t get here by chance, and every single dish, every single instant will be stuck in your mind for a long time. But yet, small imperfections caused the lack of the «top quality seal» approval (yes we have a seal!) from me and my lovely lady.
As soon as we entered here we got the feeling this was a place like no others. The cure for details is maniacal, from the door to the tables. But here we also started to notice the first issues: the place is quite small, as it should be, but it’s rather busy: we were lucky in receiving a table on the wall, but a couple in front of us (really, at less than 1 m with the corridor for waiters in between) was right in the middle of the hall, something completely uncomfortable giving the amount of tables on the wall. It seemed to me they really pushed their capacity over the limit, and that’s a serious error.
But as we said, the décor both of the place and on the wall is incredibly refined and classy. Quite minimalistic in the style, it has several little classy touches both me and my lady love. Incredible.
The waiters were nice and warming, very accommodating (even too much perhaps, given that we were on a romantic dinner) and they spoke to us in several languages. But from the other side, some of the waiters lacked in appearance, with a wrong make up messed-​up hairs. Something you don’t want to find in a three stars restaurant.
But then, let’s speak about the main reason we get there, the food! First time we came here, we wanted to try all the classical dishes the restaurant is acclaimed for, so here we go with the tasting menu. We chose a half bottle in order to get something a little bit more special, and we received the service we expected considering the age and the caliber of the wine, candle, decanter and so on.
At first I prepared an awesome review with every single dish carefully described, but the maximum size of 5000 words on Unilocal is really too much for me. Hence, I just want to speak to you about two dishes, my personal favourite ones.
The first one is a dish I waited for years: «Ravioli of lobster, langoustine and salmon». Wow. Already the name is something to blow up your mind, putting together the sweetness of the lobster, the delicacy of the langoustine and the heavy and powerful taste of salmon. And the result is so good it can’t be described, you need to taste it. Served with a delicious bisque with sorrel giving that extra citric needle, it’s just one of the best things I ever tasted in my life. A dish so delicious they should name a star with its name.
The second one is another famous masterpiece for Gordon Ramsay restaurant: Isle of Gigha halibut with Atlantic King crab, finger lime and ras el hanout infused broth.
Now, let’s start from the beginning: presentation is ridiculously perfect: the dish comes with the halibut and the crab on top, and they proceed to serve the broth (at room temperature) all around the halibut (like they do with the bisque and the ravioli). The difference is that the broth is liquid, transparent and with flower petals and the composition of the dish rapidly becomes a painting. A wonderful painting, relaxing and intriguing. And the broth, oh my the broth. Incredible, powerful, with 4 thousands flavor all balanced between each other, it’s like a Kandinsky frame on your mouth (yes keep going with art paragons!), you can always feel something different and something new, evolving and moving, but the big picture, the big screen is always appealing and entertaining. This dish alone deserves a dinner here. Full stop. If you don’t like such a perfect combination of taste, smell, sight I don’t even want to be a friend of yours on Unilocal.And I’m serious.
It’s painful not to speak about every other dish, as every single plate on our table was a piece of art, even the ones we didn’t like, but each one had a history and was perfectly concepted and realized. It’s amazing.
Unfortunately, as every adventure, we had to end our trip. We started good, we had some initial issues, we had some awesome surprise and we reached home safely. All in all it’s a wonderful dining experience, but because of some strange errors I found it does not deserves the 5 stars. Not now, not this time.

The easiest five-​star given.
The service was impeccable (be forewarned, lots of superlative adjective will be thrown out in this review). From the greetings to the last gesture when we were leaving, the service was not too much or on your face. The maitre d, knowing we were tourist, chatted with us a bit, sharing his story too. It was a nice touch. My glass of water was never empty for more than 8 seconds, it was that attentive. All were professional and friendly, definitely the true definition of dining service.
The food was too perfect, every single bite was memorable and if only I could keep the sensation in a jar and savor the moment again and again. We ordered the 3 course dinner menu, and let me tell you outright, the amuse bouche were as good, and some were even better than the 3 course menu. My personal favorite is this white egg, potato soup and truffle serve in an egg shell. I did not know it was a potato until I asked (I guess I missed their explanation at the start, probably admiring their accent too much). And also this strawberry ice cream dessert something.
I had the lobster ravioli for appetizer and it was super juicy and easily be my second favorite. My friend ordered the foie gras. We ordered pigeon and suckling pig for entrée and then we opted for the all-​dessert menu. I would run out of vocabulary to describe all the food here and will sound repetitive because every description will entail the word «excellent, perfect, outstanding, impeccable, splendid and unmatched».
A true and special dining experience.

Jeden Stern wert!
durch seinen Besitzer sehr bekanntes Restaurant und der Ruf eilt voraus. Das Essen ist ein Traum und man könnte sagen. Mann will aus diesem Traum nicht mehr erwachen. Sicher muss man tief in die Tasche greifen aber das ist es mir wert. Gordon Ramsay hat hier nicht gekleckert sondern geklotzt. Besonders war ich vom Fisch angetan und der mir dazu empfohlene Wein war ein Traum. des weiteren könnte ich dieses Dessert jeden tag Essen für den Rest meines Lebens.

Edel, sehr guter Service und das Dinner war absolut perfekt! Der Fisch zerging auf der Zunge und die Gambas waren excellent.
Das Restaurant wurde 1998 eröffnet und zählt mit seinen 3 Michelin Sternen zur Luxusklasse in London. Hier lohnt sich der Besuch auch wirklich, was ja nicht immer so ist, denn wie schwärmen Münchner vom Tantris also ich nicht. Der Service bei Gordon Ramsay ist um XXL Klassen besser.
Es gab einen Cocktail in rose im Zwischengang, der war einfach hinreißend. Den muss man langsam auf der Zunge zergehen lassen und dann prickelt es. Ich habe natürlich den Ober gefragt, was das ist. Der Chef bestellt die Prickelkörner in einer großen Menge, wie die Zutat genau heißt, konnte ich leider nicht in Erfahrung bringen. Es sieht aus wie brauner Zucker.
Also falls jemand heraus bekommt, wie diese Zauberkristalle heißen, würde ich mich über eine Info sehr freuen!
Ich würde vorher reservieren. Doch oh, was für ein Schreck: Falls man nicht erscheint muss man eine Strafe zahlen, so stand es in der gefaxten Bestätigung der Reservation. So einen wirklich gesalzenen Faxschreck habe ich noch nie erlebt!
