Restaurant 1890 by Gordon Ramsay

Intimate Dining Excellence by Skilled Staff

Restaurant 1890 isn’t just a dining establishment—it’s an ode to culinary mastery set against the enchanting backdrop of the historic Savoy. Ascend the stairs and step into a realm where intimacy is key, hosting just 10 tables that masterfully shift from plush seats to a tableau vivant, depicted through dishes as vivid as brush strokes on a canvas. Chef James doesn't merely echo Gordon Ramsay's celebrated ethos; he carves out his own emphatic path, ensnaring diners in a symphony of flavors that are both inventive and constantly evolving. The narrative of each course unfolds like chapters in a tantalizing novella—the delicate lobster tortellini arrives swathed in a lemon verbena bisque that surprises, yet satisfies; while a simple yet exquisite apple tarte tatin seals the storyline with delightful finality.

Impeccably trained staff seamlessly blend professionalism with a welcoming familiarity, never skimping on detail in their spirited recounting of wine pairings and the intricate evolutions of the menu du jour. Every encounter is marinated in genuine warmth—from being wished a heartfelt happy birthday to thoughtful menu adjustments for allergies—they enhance rather than distract. What’s left lingering is a palatable sense of excellence: they nurture each component, from frothy beetroot soup options to crisp Parker House rolls, as insistently as auteurs sculpting a masterpiece. For gastronomes or those simply fond of sublime experiences, Restaurant 1890 is a curated journey worth traversing again and again, a firm invitation into a world cradled by culinary imagination and dazzling service. As it effortlessly marries innovation with decorum, you're bound to revisit, eager to reevaluate its evolutionary delights over time. — Audrey Al Dente
