Food that stretches the boundaries.

The Fat Duck located just out of London in Berkshire is one of the best restaurants in the world(coming in 2nd this year to El Bulli in Spain) It is owned and operated by revolutionary chef Heston Blumenthal. Heston has an interesting approach to food and flavour and I recommend you read more on the website

You can only book up to two months in advance and I have a constant reminder every week on my outlook to call them as they open for a booking. The cost however is an issue with a tasting menu with matched wines is 215 pounds...mmmm

I have been to Taillevent which came in at number 48 in the best restaurants in the world but this would be something even more special.
