Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's

An internationally renowned hotel once much beloved of royalty is these days under the guidance of that prince of chefs, Gordon Ramsay. The restaurant remains one of London's most celebrated dining rooms and its effortless glamour thrills with 1930s-style sophistication, from its magnificent three-tiered light shades to its delicate etched-glass panels. It's a grand room with high ceilings and a strong art deco theme which was brilliantly restored by designer and architect Thierry Despont. Service is efficient and well-oiled, with tables stylishly appointed and well spaced. Head chef Mark Sargeant's confident modern European cuisine focuses around top class seasonal ingredients and features many signature Ramsay dishes. There is a lightness of touch that allows top drawer ingredients to speak for themselves and flavours are clear and well defined. A starter of ravioli of Scottish lobster and salmon with lemongrass and coconut bisque might be followed by rump of Cumbrian lamb stuffed with anchovies, carrot and cardamom sauce. A stellar wine list matches the food.
