Square Meal review of Restaurant Gordon Ramsay:

What with his TV career, advertising endorsements & stateside commitments, Gordon Ramsay may not often be found in the kitchen of his flagship restaurant, but the UK’s most famous chef hasn’t let standards slip & a meal here remains an experience that ‘you can’t fault’. The intimate room is demure but contemporary & the food, though classic in concept, displays a delightfully gutsy edge. Beautifully wrought creations might include slow-braised pig’s trotter, pressed then pan-fried, with poached quail’s egg, ham knuckle & hollandaise sauce, or roast fillet of Northumberland beef with kohlrabi, horseradish cream & root vegetable infusion, with a bitter chocolate cylinder with coffee granita & ginger mousse for pud. The best way to sample the spectrum of flavours is through the seven-course tasting menu (£110, but ‘a worthwhile expense’); while the £40 three-course set lunch is a great way to cut costs. Other pluses include a ‘one-to-one ratio of staff to diners’, service that’s ‘first rate rather than stuffy’ & an exceptional wine list.

Wine List: This is great list has a staggering collection of fine wine, including not just Bordeaux but some extremely rare wines from Burgundy & the Rhone. However, we really love this list because you do not need to spend a fortune to drink well. Margins are not high & plenty of thought has gone into finding wine for those with £40 to spend. Best Buy White 2004 Sol de Sol Chardonnay, Vina Aquitania, Traiguen, Chile, £45. Best Buy Red 2004 Les Terrasses, Chateau Pesquié, Cotes de Ventoux, France, £30.

Chef: Gordon Ramsay

Chef, restaurateur, television personality, industry mogul & with 12 Michelin stars in his stable, Gordon Ramsay remains the highest profile British chef on the global culinary scene. Since starting out as a commis chef at the Roxburgh House Hotel 22 years ago, Ramsay has gone on to establish a serious empire of London restaurants, crowned by his eponymous three Michelin-starred Chelsea site. Simultaneously, he’s also produced 10 cookery books & an autobiography & established himself as a TV darling through programmes like The F-Word. Ramsay’s latest ventures, The Narrow & The Devonshire, are gastropubs, & with a restaurant opening in Paris in spring 2008 & another planned for LA, the Ramsay bandwagon rolls on.
