Fat Duck tops Good Food Guide list
The Fat Duck restaurant in Bray, Berkshire, has come top of The Good Food Guide’s first gastronomic top 40 list.
Gordon Ramsay’s self-titled restaurant in Chelsea came second and Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Great Milton, Oxford, came third.
All three sites received nine marks out of 10, but Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck won overall for its “white-hot gastronomic alchemy”.
“The Fat Duck has received worldwide acclaim,” said Blumenthal. “But being voted the best in Britain is of special significance to us.”
Elizabeth Carter, editor of The Good Food Guide, added: “Both Gordon Ramsay and Raymond Blanc’s restaurants are unmissable experiences, but The Fat Duck has produced truly stunning food this year.
“Congratulations to Heston Blumenthal for daring to push at the boundaries of modern cooking and pulling it off spectacularly.”
The Fat Duck restaurant in Bray, Berkshire, has come top of The Good Food Guide’s first gastronomic top 40 list.
