Yes today we are going to Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea. JV had booked this 12 months ago, it is that popular. It is a continuing 3 Michelin Star Restaurant. You can read more about it than I could relate through:

Any way, I sleep pretty well in three short bursts obviously still feeling the effects of the long time flying. We get up and go to a local diner for a small meal and then Julie heads out for a professional makeover. After returning, we head to the train station.

If you look closely at the Street sign of the Street to the train station you see that it is named after Wine Superstar friends of ours, eh Selena!

Today there is no walking around in circles, we go pretty much directly to the restaurant. However, it is quite a long walk.

The menu choices are quite stunning. There are options for a three course lunch, which I select, and a 9 course tasting menu which JV selects.

First courses for PM. I selected the Cornish Brown and King Crab

Main courses for PM. I selected the Suckling Pig

An extra starter of mushed peas and your vegetables

I have never liked peas but these were so young that I finish most of mine. Then some of Julie’s courses start arriving.

Julie’s Main of Lamb and spring vegetable Navarin

My main of Suckling Pig – the brussel sprout looking thing was in fact minced pork wrapped in cabbage leaves

My selection of cheeses. Note 4 different kinds of bleu

JV’s Mango, jasmine and passion fruit soup

Our Senior waiter, Jean Claude, invited us to visit the kitchen. JV did and here are some of her photos.

RGR had a huge number of staff serving and in the kitchen

I went back to the flat and crashed yet again. No dinner for me tonight. JV went prancing around which included bike riding in Hyde Park.

All in all a stunning day. RGR and Holy Smoke are two different kinds of restaurants and we decided we could not vote one more than the other. BTW: I am told that Holy Smoke is back to #1 on Trip Advisor. RGR was only #5.
