Gordon Ramsay's Maze
The four course set lunch was under thirty quid a head - even we can afford to eat at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant! So eat we did...The restaurant is located in Grosvenor Square, once Rach had changed her shoes in the park (just in case trainers was too scruffy), we soon realised why the set lunch was so reasonable. Maze does "tapas"-like portions - our server instructed that each person should order at least 4 dishes if going a-la-carte - we went for the set lunch. We both had the gazpacho, Rach had the lamb shank (in the first pic) which came with a beautiful creamy risotto. I had the prawn sandwich (in the second pic) which was actually too salty. The food was amazing - it was almost as if the small portions made you appreciate the food and the flavours more. You eat slowly and savour each bite because...there is so little of it. Dessert was also fab - Rach had caramelised pears with brandy ice cream, I had the bavarian with a very good mint sorbet. We were also given some gorgeous and very wobbly Turkish Delight to end our meal. So verdict? We left feeling aesthetically satisfied - our eyes and taste buds have feasted but I felt only about 70% full. Good for a light leisurely lunch, not good if you are starving and in need of a slap-up meal.
