Join in celebrating all that is Marcus Wareing as we welcome you to share the reviews of both the press and our guests. Please find below some of our recent press highlights.
THE SUNDAY TIMES FOOD LIST, OCTOBER 2010
Marcus Wareing's "formal" Knightsbridge dining room is again the survey's No 1 in London - his food is a "tour de force", service "second to none", and the wine "exceptional"; perhaps owing to his Lancastrian roots, puddings are a particular highlight.
DRAPERS, MAY 2010
The much-feted, theatrical cuisine at Marcus Wareing’s first solo venture is sophisticated London dining at its most sparkling. All sumptuous midnight hues paired with unobtrusive service, the ambience at Knightsbridge’s most grown-up destination instantly induces a sense of intimacy. Gourmands will love the chef’s table at the heart of the kitchen'.
TIMESONLINE.CO.UK, APRIL 2010
‘Marcus Wareing’s cooking presents haute cuisine at its finest with dark and seductive décor and impeccable service’.
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, APRIL 2010
‘It is testament to Marcus Wareing…(that) his Granny Smith apple crème, spiced brioche, popcorn and salted caramel is the best thing I’ve eaten on Michelin mile’;
COUNTRY & TOWN HOUSE MAGAZINE, MARCH 2010
‘Culinary superstar’;
LONDON EVENING STANDARD, JANUARY 2010
‘Wareing, one of the brightest stars of the London restaurant scene';
ZOE WILLIAMS, THE TELEGRAPH MAGAZINE, 28 AUGUST 2009 (10/10)
‘Marcus Wareing at the Berkeley has done something exactly right with the classic formula of famous-chef-in-a-posh-hotel. I only wish I could tell you exactly what it was… Most of the tables were occupied by pairs who seemed perfectly fine, even normal, there not as an act of wealth assertion but for a special treat…I moved on to the Dorset turbot, pan-fried with frog’s legs and a caper and raisin purée. Ooh, those little legs, they are so tasty…These were buttery and lemony and I thought I got a note of garlic off them, but I would never be so bold as to insist upon it. I might have just tasted a French atmosphere. The fish was spot on…I think this is a genuine, special-occasion, marry-me or at least birthday-with-a-zero restaurant. It astounds me how rarely in this foodie capital I think that.’;
WILLIAM SITWELL, WAITROSE FOOD ILLUSTRATED, JUNE 2009
‘It all left me utterly impressed. The place is so good that even in a recession the City boys can’t keep away… Under Wareing, this restaurant has bloomed into one of England’s finest’;
