The Ledbury Restaurant Review:


The Ledbury is owner Nigel Platts-Martin's fifth restaurant (The Square, Chez Bruce, The Glasshouse and La Trompette). He came up trumps with a place that draws more than the neighbors through its smart but casual doors. The restaurant is comfortable and self-assured, the staff knowledgeable and charming, and the cooking is courtesy of Australian duo Brett Graham and Greg Austin. Try a dinner starting with roast scallop with baked cauliflower and bonito butter, or candy beetroot baked in clay with smoked and dried eel. Follow with fillet of sea bass with courgette, green olive and anchovy cream, or lamb with salt-baked turnip, padron and garlic. Save room for a sweet, perhaps a warm chocolate tartlet with malt and banana. This is sophisticated cooking, done admirably and strikingly presented. The wine list is well managed and well priced. The set lunch menu is £50 for four courses available Wednesday to Sunday; dinner is £95 for four courses. Tasting menu (whole table only) per person £115, with wine £195; vegetarian tasting menu £105, with wine £175.
