Are higher rankings based on innovative/new tastes? I much preferred Hedone at lunch to dinner at Ledbury--even though I went in expecting the opposite.
Completely subjective. Many people like Andy Hayler consider Hedone one of the best in London if not the best. For my money, I'll take the Ledbury. Was there last year and had a fantastic meal with several dishes I still remember. Had extensive conversation with the sommelier, both at the restaurant and on email afterwards. All around outstanding experience.
As for Hedone - had what I considered a very good meal at the time several months ago - can't remember a single thing I had now.
