Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley






Marcus Wareing was a place I just had to try before we left London. Having watched him on the Great British Menu and Michelin Stars - The Madness of Perfection, I was enthralled by his commitment and dedication to his food and restaurant without having been engulfed by the lures of empire and money. The setting in the Berkeley was plush but unpretentious, with very attentive staff even though some of our other diners said there was the woft of B.O. from one of them. Accompanied by a bottle of 2003 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino, we dove into the 8 course Prestige Menu. Every dish was executed perfectly. Beautifully presented and showcased the balance of flavours and ingredients that makes Marcus Wareing a 2 star Michelin chef.
