Heinz Beck takes up duties at the Lanesborough
Heinz Beck made a name for himself as the chef of Rome's premiere restaurant La Pergola where he secured the magic three Michelin stars. Here in London he's taken on the restaurant at the Lanesborough Hotel where he's promising Italian haute cuisine, with the emphasis on haute.

"My “Roasted pigeon royal, pearl onions and mustard seed sauce”, a Beck signature dish, was a chewy pigeon lazily hacked into four and catastrophically blackened like a bad mistake at some stoned Rasta’s roadside Jamaican jerk shack." READ REVIEW

"The problem is that Apsleys is out of step with the times. Firstly, making fancy food work in our pared-down gastroscape would challenge anyone." READ REVIEW
"There are 57 varieties of reason to loathe Apsleys: A Heinz Beck Restaurant, among them the use of that name to justify charging triple-star prices for the work of underlings while its owner does the real business in another land." READ REVIEW
"The lunch is not an enjoyable experience. I'm not saying that the chef who's under orders to carry out Beck's menu is at fault: some of it – especially that cod/hot hummus car crash – is simply misconceived." READ REVIEW
