Good news for London restaurant goers.
Internationally renowned chef Heston Blumenthal is to open his first London restaurant in autumn 2010. Blumenthal’s restaurant, The Fat Duck, one of only three Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK, is famed for its molecular gastronomy and dishes such as snail porridge, caviar and white chocolate and bacon and egg ice-cream. Blumenthal’s restaurant, The Fat Duck, is located in Bray – as is his gastropub, The Hind’s Head. The new restaurant, which will open at the Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge, will take its inspiration from Blumenthal’s passion for the history of British gastronomy, an interest he explored in his recent Channel 4 series, ‘Heston’s Feasts’. – From Decanter
