When Gordon Ramsay flung open the doors to the newly-refurbished dining room at Claridge's, there were gasps of admiration and a general stampede for seats. Awards have continued to flood in and so have the punters. And with good reason! The gorgeous Art Deco dining room has been made new and
elegant with beautiful panelling and typical three-tiered lights. The ambience is a combination of bubbling anticipation, with nimble waiters zipping between the tables, punctuated by cries of delight at the food.
Well, there would be if we weren't so well-behaved. The food, prepared by head chef Mark Sargeant under the beady eye of GR himself, is gloriously haute European. Ingredients are top-notch, menus change with the seasons. Some dishes have included ballottine of foie gras, pear and chutney and
Barolo reduction, roasted cannon of lamb with crushed new potatoes with white bean puree and baby leeks and rosemary jus, Bailey's creme brulee with caramelised pears and honeycomb ice cream. Don't miss the opportunity to sample the excellent wine list or neglect to visit the wonderfully 1930's loos.
