"The cook dude here literally wears a toque. That’s all anyone really needs to know about the level of old school flair John Williams and co bring to the table The Ritz Restaurant, and submitting to it means encountering the likes of veal sweetbreads, native lobster, dover sole and beef wellington presented with painterly grace. The seven-course “Epicurean Journey” menu comes in at a mere £125 (although that jumps to a slightly more crunchy £405 once the top-level wine pairing is added) — a no-brainer for anyone looking to experience one of London’s most timeless dining rooms. NB: there is a dress code, and they do enforce it." - George Reynolds
