I was delighted to see Brett and his team get a second michelin star. My husband and I used to eat out a lot at middle range restaurants and we don’t bother now: we just save our money to eat regularly at the Ledbury.

We went on New Year’s Eve. The 7 course menu was supplemented by 3 further courses that Brett sent for our table. We were all beyond full and as usual every course was exquisite. For those that haven’t visited, do: it is really a marvelous experience in terms of food, service and a very friendly ambience that I sometimes find missing in michelin restaurants.

Peter, the young New Zealand sommelier, is great esp if like us you have quite strong preferences, like to try something new, but are a tad clueless

I went to The Ledbury as you know Maddy last week and had the meal of my life, a 4 1/2 hour lunch, 10 dishes and matching wine.

Was outstanding and a top chef friend of mine from up north said that if Brett doesnt get a second star he will hang up his own whites and work at burger king.

I loved every moment and will certainly go back again and again, the food, and the service was flawless and has certainly inspired me and given me some pointers for mine and sams restaurant, as and when we open, hopefully not too much longer.

Catch ya later

I’m not sure even I could have managed all those courses!

The madeleines look adorable – I love making them, but I’ve never tried chocolate ones. I think it’s wonderful how so little batter will make so many – and they are light as a feather, despite all the butter.

Did you take your camera to the restaurant? If so, did they mind?

PS – sorry to be a party-pooper, but if it doesn’t contain rice, it ain’t a risotto!

yummy…I hope he gave you his recipes and you will share them with us? (especially those that highlight the benefits of using a Tm31)

The Ledbury has been at the top of my ‘want to visit’ list since I tried a couple of their dishes at Taste London. The menu sounds incredible.

the Galette de Banane is VERY similar to my own.. I use coconut cream with the caramel spiral… coconut Ice cream with almond croquant & garnished with black currants marinated in a rhum sirop… after all i do live in Mauritius.. and try to stick to the local stuff… really like the salted peanut ice cream bit… gonna try it

Sounds superb. Good to see a chef taking photos (excellent ones too) in a restaurant. Lots of restaurants here are wooried about bloggers and the lighting is turned down low.

All sounds interesting. The calamari risotto and cauliflower sounds very Ferran.
