[...] and remain imprinted in your mind. For me, it was Tetsuya’s Confit of Ocean Trout, as well as Marcus Wareing’s Lemonade dessert at Petrus. One that came from a meal I had while back was the papardelle from Pendolino’s in the Strand [...]

Hi Jane-Thanks for reading and commenting! Great to hear that he still has the 2 stars, he deserves 3 IMHO!

I have just read your blog. Some very nice comments, thank you!

Marcus has now reopened and the restaurant is called Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley.

As predicted everything is very much the same although Jean Phillipe has moved on.

Hi bruleeblog-When we booked we asked if it was ok I had visions of an angry Ramsay coming out screaming at us A colleague told us that he hates photographers but I think he meant more of the paparazzi variety. I think as long as we weren’t disturbing the other guests with flash photography they didn’t mind (although they didn’t say so, they just said it was totally fine to take photographs).

Can I ask – did you just start taking photos during your meal or did you ask if it was ok first? I was dying to take photos during my visit there last year but was too chicken to try it.

Hi grace-Not exactly but the combination of all of those cheeses was not as harmonious as I would have liked!

Hi Y-Hmm hard question, I liked places for different reasons. I really liked the decor of the Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester but the food Petrus and RHR were brilliant. They were probably my top 3.

Hi Jen-Thanks so much! It’s a pity Petrus by Marcus won’t be around but I’m sure he’ll be back with something just as fabulous! Hehe sorry

Hi Bean Sprout-I know, it was really a dream come true for me. Jean Phillippe is just as cool and calm in real life which was a relief and why he runs the restaurant!

Hi Maria-I should have put it in the story itself I just got caught up in the food.

Oops, I’m so sorry I missed the prices at the bottom. I obviously skimmed over that bit thinking it was address/contact details for Petrus. Sozzz!! Thank you for writing them out especially for me anyway. Too kind.
