Heddon Street Kitchen - Gordon Ramsay

“Laid-back but fancy” is how one reader describes this Gordon Ramsay restaurant, where the sleek, slick look is as well suited to business lunches as treating the kids at the weekend. Everyone is welcome for food that’s “always of the highest standard” without demanding too much from the assembled company. Breakfast (home-baked raspberry and almond bread with vanilla butter, perhaps) kicks things off, and the globally influenced all-day carte knows how to please. Beef Wellington with truffle mash and red wine jus is “unbelievably good” according to one fan, although you can also get short rib or crispy chilli chicken burgers, fish pie and an accessible set option. An ice-cream bar menu, with build-your-own cones, sandwiches and wafer baskets, adds to the fun, as do staff who are “above friendly, and always very attentive”. A Coravin system keeps by-the-glass wines in good nick, while bottles are listed by style, grape and region.

Gordon Ramsay’s Heddon Street Kitchen is found just off of Regent’s Street in the heart of London’s West End. This stylish dining destination is housed over two floors and is open for all day dining - and you would feel just as at home grabbing a post-shopping bite to eat at lunch as you would having a dinner or after-work cocktails.

Early risers will enjoy the breakfast menu offering classics such as Eggs Benedict, a Full English and smashed avocado on toasted sourdough. Those looking for brunch with bubbles will enjoy the Prosecco brunch menu. A dedicated children’s menu shows off the restaurant’s family-friendly credentials, while dietary requirements are also considered with seperate vegetarian and gluten-free menus that don’t simply feel like an afterthought.

The restaurant is open for all day dining seven days a week and has a casual dress code.
