Marcus Wareing at the Berkeley

Marcus Wareing comes to Knightsbridge
Wareing's acrimonious move from Ramsay Holding's Petrus to the Berkeley was covered in every detail, but now the dust has settled, Wareing seems delighted to be his own man in his own space. Reports are uniformly excellent.

"...there is exceptionalism here which, at this price, is not always the case. Marcus Wareing still means business. And it shows." READ REVIEW

"(Wareing's) style of cooking isn't particularly directional; there are no games or jokes. But neither is there a huge amount of personality in his food; we were enjoying the meal, but it wasn't quite hitting the expected heights." READ REVIEW

"This is a very grown-up place; somewhere to come if you want an unforgettable meal. Yes, it's complex, but the results provoke a very simple response: pure pleasure." READ REVIEW

"All in all, then, this was a fine meal with moments of the sublime, but without quite fulfilling admittedly stellar expectations. By and large, the cooking seemed less spellbinding than I remember it when Wareing was first banged up at HMP Berkeley several years ago." READ REVIEW

"There’s no denying that when this all leaves the kitchen, it’s clever, accomplished, exemplary cooking, but by the time it gets to the table, it’s an effortful, unrewarding plate of pelmanism." READ REVIEW

David Sexton Evening Standard
Reviewed on September 24, 2008
"It was like a last meal that you would plan never to be digesting, rather than food to set you up for the rest of the night or the next day. Or, to put it another way, as a diner here you become part of the drive towards a third Michelin star with all that implies — and that’s simply not the way to eat well, as I understand it."

Lazy Lunch in Cosy Surroundings

We had a nice lazy lunch in lovely cosy surroundings. Good selection of dishes and consistently good food. Attentive service and wonderful bon bons to finish. Would go back.
