Enough of the Detoxing……
January is a month where the majority of us deny ourselves life’s guilty pleasures. There is good work done by detoxing but let’s forget about that for now, I love eating out and think restaurants are fantastic. We are very lucky in our line of work that we get to go to excellent places throughout the year. So pooling all our resources together I want to know all the restaurants that you want to try in 2009 or recommend from 2008.
The first restaurant I want to go to is one I saw in the professional kitchen challenge on Masterchef last week and it looked superb fun. It is a Mexican restaurant called Wahaca, anyone been? Apart from that I would also really like to go to Gordon Ramsey at Hospital Road (bargain), Roka (doesn’t count if it was just cocktails), The Square and Hix’s Oyster and Chop House.
In terms of where I recommend going from my experience in 2008, L’Atelier De Joel Robuchon, The Greenhouse, Marcus Wareing At The Berkeley, Le Gavroche, Clos Maggiore, Elena’s L’Etoile and Tsunami were all awesome. Any recommendations?

Give Wahaca a miss, I phoned and was told I couldn’t book so I went and found myself at the back of a long queue of people that had ‘booked.’ Apparently you can go early in the evening and book for later. Which is simply booking but in person and not on the phone is it not. Ridiculous.
