ABOUT IMAGES  
Club GasconIf Jamie Oliver thinks that turkey twizzlers and chips are the most unhealthy food in Britain, then he obviously hasn't been to this extraordinary Michelin-starred restaurant in a former Lyons tea house in Smithfields, whose 'French tapas' style - ordering three to five small dishes per diner - fails to disguise a menu that gives your arteries palpitations. The speciality is foie gras, available on its own, as a major or minor ingredient in around a third of the dishes, and even as an ingredient in one of the puddings. Other delights include sturdy mixtures like lobster with black pudding, and the buttery pleasures of traditional French fare such as confit de canard. Club Gascon well deserves its superb reputation and raft of awards. This is food which matches outrageous flair to the solid virtues of a bistro kitchen - just don't tell Jamie.
