The Savoy Grill

 

The Savoy Grill, along with The Savoy Hotel reopened in 2010 following a three-year ?220m refurbishment, to reveal a "moodily lit" and "glamorous" dining room with "dark, lacquered walls that give the impression of being inside a glowing tortoiseshell box" (The Independent). Gordon Ramsay, who first took over the Grill in 2003, is back with chef-director Stuart Gillies delivering a very British menu. As you'd expect, grilled meats feature heavily. In addition to the steaks there's Herdwick mutton cutlets, pork T-bone and mixed veal grill as well as a trolley taking the roast of the day to your table (roasted rack of rare breed pork, roasted loin of suckling pig...). There are non-meat options like Omelette Arnold Bennett (an invention of the Savoy), baked scallops, glazed lobster thermidor and there's even a separate vegetarian menu. Though it seems silly to go to the Savoy Grill and not order meat. In short, The Savoy Grill has a long tradition of serving excellent food to London's more discerning visitors and in its latest guise continues to keep up with modern day demands.
