Savoy Grill Restaurant Review:


After what must be the longest hotel refurbishment in history, the Savoy Grill is back, a much-loved British institution that delivers all the panache and sophistication anyone could hope for. The room holds comfortable banquettes, chandeliers, deep carpets, polished glass walls that look like rich burgundy lacquer and black-and-white photographs of past cinema stars. It’s all very Art Deco in a delightfully contrived way. But most importantly, what of the cooking? It’s under the direction of Gordon Ramsay; the head chef is now Kim Woodward. Ingredients are unashamedly British where possible, from carefully selected suppliers. Start with a bisque of Cornish crab and lobster. There’s a selection of fish and shellfish and a great grill section that runs from steaks to rare breed pork chop. Roasts include more classics, such as steak and onion pudding. A very traditional daily special is offered from the lunch trolley that circles the room: Suffolk ham with a honey glaze on Monday, and beef Wellington on Wednesday. A passionfruit soufflé, or British and French cheeses, may end the meal. The wine list is good but very pricey; service is charming.
