Ramsey's in 2 weeks

[JRM]

Finally getting to go to Hospital Road the week after next - can't wait.

That's all really, love him or loathe him, the restaurant has a great reputation and I'm very excited about going

Anyone else been recently?

The Mrs and I went there for dinner in May last year. The food was stunning and the service was also top notch, as you would expect for the money.

We did feel that the venue lacked a little something though. The interior is very plain and there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of atmosphere, particularly compared to somewhere like the Waterside Inn in Bray.

However, as a gastronomic experience, it's second to none. And make sure you have the Assiette de l'Aubergine for desert, it's incredible!

Enjoy!

If you love your food you will love it.

Been a few times. Try to find a fault with it - you won't. Sheer elegant class, and pretty pricey too. FWIW - I can also recommend the chef's table at Claridges. Similar price (per head), and food possibly not quite so fantastic as RHR, but a really great evening. Hope you enjoy it

the only 3 star restaurant in London say's it all. i don't have a sweet tooth but the asiette aubergine (sp)? was incredible, mini versions of all the puddings served as a single dish. your going to have a great time.

[JRM]

That sounds VERY tempting already, really can't wait to experience it - my first Ramsey experience, as I've always refused to go his other ones on the basis that this is the proper 3 star one - and I'll wait for a good excuse/money to do it properly.

That looks pretty impressive! Was quite disappointed at Claridges but may give this one a go in the summer...

How much on average does it cost per head, with and without wine?

Cheers

Approx. £250 / head with some reasonable wine. You could probably get away with £170 ish though if you stuck to the less expensive wines.

Thanks guys. Think I'd steer clear of the 10 grand bottle of wine.

[JRM]

Ahhhhhhhhh - now that was an afternoon well spent.

Lovely place, fab food, brilliant service - surprised how small it was though - very understated.

I went for:
Pumpkin soupy thing (amuse-bouche)
Tortellini of Prawn and Crab
Braised shin of beef with horseradish mash and stuffed mushrooms
6 very smelly cheeses
Banana Parfait - to die for
Minature strawberry icecream balls wrppaed in white chocolate (how did they manage that?)
Truffles
Large espresso

Didn't eat for the rest of the day

£480 for a bottle Priorato L Ermita it will only cost £120 thats rude

[JRM]

Yeah, I didn't buy that one strangely enough. Wine mark-up was hideous

Glad you enjoyed it.

We went to Petrus last summer (only the 2 stars, sadly! ) and it was the best meal we've had so far...both food and service were impeccable.

And we're off to Boxwood for a less formal lunch next weekend...be interesting to see what that's like!
