Ramsay at Claridge’s - Reservations are essential at
this immensely popular fine-dining restaurant, named after
its celebrity chef. Dozens of extravagantly large, multi-tiered
lampshades hang over the purple dining chairs and are reflected
in art-deco mirrors on the marble walls. Contemporary European
cuisine is served for lunch and dinner. A chef’s table
in the kitchen may be reserved for up to six people to enjoy
a meal prepared by Gordon Ramsay himself.
The Foyer - With its silver wrought-iron designs, art-deco
mirrors, and huge light sculpture shimmering with 800 hand-blown
glass pieces, the Foyer is a memorable yet casual setting for
breakfast, morning coffee, afternoon tea, or cocktails. A light
menu is also available for lunch and dinner. A duet plays classics
and soft jazz from lunchtime onwards.
The Reading Room - Just off the Foyer, and serving from
the same menus, the Reading Room has a more intimate feel,
with muted colors, dimmed lights, leather-clad columns, and
high-backed banquettes of cushioned velvet. The suede walls
are adorned with large framed photos of Claridge’s
many distinguished guests.
Claridge’s Bar - Open until 1 AM, this bar is popular
with the media crowd, and is a good place to talk and to
