Gordon Ramsay at Hospital Road London 3 star

I visited Gordon Ramsay around 7 years ago when Claire Smith was still chef. It still holds 3 stars at Michelin.
We started with some small bites:



Mocktails:


They they hadnīt a fitting tasting menu we choosed a la carte. Advantage was we could try different things.
First course: Scallops from the Isle of Skye - Ajo Blanco, Verjus, olive oil

and Ravioli - Lobster, langoustine, Salmon, sorrel

Both dishes were solid, personally I liked the Ravioli a Little bit mor.
Main course: Lobster

and John Dory - carrot, fennel, cockles, vadouvan

The lobster was the better dish, the John Dory not so great.
As the food was not very much (130 GBP were not that cheap for it) I decided to take an additional cheese course. Unfortunately I did what I often do when I take cheese. I ask for a selection through the trolley. What they did was one of the most boring selections ever I got at a 3 star restaurant. Side was a piece of bread, no chutneys or so. Sad…..

Pre-dessert

Dessert: Banoffee souffle

Gran Cru 75% chocolate

Petit fours:


The meal was good, but not great. Personally I liked both Ledbury and Core more. For me Gordon Ramsay is a solid 2 star but no 3 star.
