Square Meal review of Maze:
Write your own review
Gordon Ramsay’s omnipresence on the dining scene may be starting to irritate, but Maze remains one of London’s most effusively praised restaurants – perhaps because it’s the most atypical of GR’s operations. There’s no sense of stuffy fine dining about the place, & the menu breaks the mould with its choice of around 20 tasting dishes. Ingredients are boldly matched in exciting combinations & the kitchen pulls off all manner of triumphs, from braised shin of veal with pumpkin risotto & kidney powder, to slow-cooked quail marinated in foie gras with peach purée & ale-vinegar reduction. Small portions prove especially popular at lunchtime, while seasonally changing menus & a chef’s table banish the threat of boredom. True, there are gripes: the setting is highly corporate, tables away from the windows are disappointing, & some grumble that this kind of food only appeals for its novelty value. But for most, the whole package remains unrivalled, with ‘excellent & attentive’ service attracting particular praise.
Wine List: The sommeliers at Maze have created a great wine selection that also makes a huge effort to complement the food. A grazing menu requires flexibility from the wine list, so here are 30-plus wines & a range of saké by the glass, along with an extensive set of halves. Maze’s famous wine flights are a fascinating way to experience the different flavours a grape or region can offer & how they pair with food. Best Buy White 2007 Riesling Paulett’s Polish Hill, Clare Valley, South Australia, £39. Best Buy Red 2005 Dolcetto d’Alba, Germano Ettore, Piedmont, Italy, £32.
Chef: Jason Atherton
Jason Atherton’s reputation stepped up a level in 2008 following his resounding success on the BBC’s Great British Menu. His food so impressed the judges and voting public that he was selected to cook two courses at the show’s climax, a dinner for culinary luminaries atop the Gherkin. He also published his first book, Maze: The Cookbook. Meanwhile, the Gordon Ramsay Holdings (GRH) chef has continued to launch restaurants, opening Maze Prague in 2007 and the New York-inspired Maze Grill joining neighbouring Maze restaurant in the London Marriott hotel last year. Atherton spent three years in Dubai heading up Verre for GRH before he unleashed Maze’s tapas-style cuisine on diners in 2005, gaining a Michelin star and winning the title of BMW Square Meal Restaurant of the Year in the restaurant’s first 12 months of operation.
