Spiky-haired celebrity chef Gary Rhodes has proved he can cook at the very highest level - and here that means every sense of the term. He won a Michelin star for this restaurant on the twenty-fourth floor of the tallest building in the City. But the real draw of this lofty restaurant at Tower 42 is the view over the City, directly overlooking the towering Gherkin with the Docklands beyond and miles and miles of Thames Basin. The food is in signature Rhodes style: very British - think mash and gravy with your scallops to start - and very correct with rich flavours complementing the simplicity of the excellent ingredients. Here, even something as simple as the spinach on which the sea bream is served tastes succulent and full of flavour.
