The ritz restaurant review

The dining room at Dining at this luxury hotel restaurant is definitely one of London's big treats. It's probably the best special occasion restaurant in London.

I have written extensively about my meals at The Ritz, so please see my previous reviews for some history and analysis of the wine list. We went for the latter today. This began with several canapes. A new one was lobster barbajuan, a luxurious take on the Mediterranean fritter that is usually stuffed with Swiss chard and ricotta. The version here upgraded to tender lobster knuckle bound with sauce Americaine made with chopped onions, tomatoes, white wine, brandy, salt, cayenne pepper, butter and fish stock , while the pastry casing was top-notch. There were also two old friends, a Parmesan mousse with Kalamata black olive and basil, and duck liver parfait with sour cherry and gingerbread. There was also a croustade of heritage potato bound with truffle emulsion and topped with finely grated fresh winter black truffle, which was lovely.

Going Out Restaurants. Maybe it is a general aversion to that table-scraping, head-bowing mode of clinically extortionate hotel fine dining. Because now — after a truly mesmerising debut lunch there — I realise that The Ritz, parodic synonym for grandiosity that it is, is absolutely worth the fuss and surprisingly cross-generational awe. Yes, it is unconscionably expensive. But it is also an enterprise with an almost manic devotion to superior hospitality, old-school razzmatazz and an intense, oddly forward-thinking approach to deliciousness. The vibe, in short, is very much that of a Liberace-designed fallout shelter. Or a gilded cage with a blanket gratefully thrown over it. It was an ethereally soft, butter-fried cloud with the faintest offal twang and a sweet, dark, truffled jus that brought to mind sticky barbecue glaze. Our shared whole Bresse duck — served first as a very rare, peppercorn-scattered breast carved beside the table; then, as a gorgeously tender, breadcrumbed confit leg — had the same gleeful tickle of richness and mildly primal indulgence. We were not talking to each other on a screen.

London's most opulent dining salon here at The Ritz would impress even Marie Antoinette with its sumptuous Gilded Age rococo revival trompe-l'oeil frescoes, tasseled silk drapery, and towering marble columns. The chef's five and seven-course set menus are also a delight. Our favorite spots in National Parks.

Large Scottish langoustine tails are poached in butter and served on a bed of cauliflower puree, baby Cornish vegetables and fennel and edible flowers and garnished with a lovely seafood nage flavoured with herbs. More from Hot Dinners. We went for the latter today. Langoustine a la nage is a signature dish of the restaurant. The main dessert was a very pretty chocolate tonka and cocoa nib creation.

It's a big room but such is the reputation of the food here that getting a table for lunch, even on a weekday, requires planning months in advance. Contact us.

The version here upgraded to tender lobster knuckle bound with sauce Americaine made with chopped onions, tomatoes, white wine, brandy, salt, cayenne pepper, butter and fish stock , while the pastry casing was top-notch. There's an awful lot going on. I liked the tonka bean ice cream very much, as this brought some lightness to a quite rich dish. Sommelier Frederico has a few particular favourites on here including a Clase Azul Reposado tequila which was a minerally delight. No thanks Awesome, you're subscribed! The ballotine of duck liver is wrapped with a sour cherry gel and served with a tiny bit of pistachio mousse. Not just ritzy, but delightfully curious, too.
