restaurants in the UK

Over the last two decades or so, the reputation of British cuisine has improved massively. A generation of chefs influenced by the best of continental Europe has used British ingredients to create a resurgence of traditional British cooking techniques that is complemented by a fresh and innovative approach.

When it comes to identifying the top British restaurant currently, then The Fat Duck in Bray in Berkshire consistently tops polls and surveys. Under the control of chef Heston Blumenthal, whose scientific cookery methods are now famous, this restaurant continues to produce high-quality, innovative food.

It has three Michelin stars and many happy diners have emerged from this restaurant feeling as if they have enjoyed the meal of a lifetime. The experiences here are often strange and somewhat unnerving at first, but everyone eventually comes out having enjoyed themselves.

The tasting menu at the Fat Duck is a particularly interesting experience, with delights such as snail porridge and a dish based on the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party making their way on to the menu. However, although Blumenthal’s restaurant currently scores highly, there are many other British eateries which are beginning to challenge his top spot.
