The name Gordon Ramsay has now become synonymous with exquisite food and excellent service. He may have handed the day-to-day running of the kitchen over to Head Chef Jason Atherton, but Ramsay’s exacting standards are still present in every aspect of this superb culinary operation. An extremely smart boutique restaurant serving French classics infused with Asian flavours the kitchen staff here are obviously trusted with his reputation and deservedly so. Confidently applying a unique twist on tradition, Maze encourages diners to break from the standard a la carte menu by offering an attractive selection of diverse tasting dishes. Small but perfectly formed, six to eight plates are recommended per meal. For those whose palates enjoy being tantalised and treated with different tastes and textures this is the perfect dining experience. Such a sublime eating experience requires a suitably sublime location and Maze’s Mayfair address combined with its outlook over Grosvenor Square gardens has to be one of the best in London. Inside it’s all simple, chic modern décor aimed at providing a simple backdrop to the main focus – the food. For those after a bit more stimulation a seat at the Chef’s Table provides diners with the opportunity to enjoy an exclusive menu prepared in close proximity. Needless to say you need to book well ahead in order to claim such privileges. The best restaurant in London? Probably.
Best for:
Atherton and Ramsay, French cooking with a twist, tasting menu and Mayfair location.
