London restaurants still at top, says Good Food Guide
A total of 15 London restaurants have made it into The 2010 Good Food Guide UK's top 50 list, which has published today.
Four of these are brand new entries to the list: L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, Covent Garden; The Ledbury, Westbourne Park; Galvin at Windows and Murano, in Mayfair. The great news for London doesn't end there. L'Etranger in South Kensington won The Good Food Guide Readers' Restaurant of the Year London award earlier this year. Gordon Ramsay was the highest rated London restaurant (number two), with Marcus Wareing at the Berkeley at number three.
Elizabeth Carter, editor of The Good Food Guide, said: "London has an extraordinary wealth of top restaurants and chefs so it is particularly impressive that The Harwood Arms stood out so much to win such a prestigious award." The Good Food Guide 2010 Top 50 (London restaurants in bold):
