Heston Blumenthal - Dinner

OOOH!!! Exciting! The real food critics have been allowed into the newly opened Dinner, at Mandarin Oriental, the latest by Herston Blumenthal.

Here is a little video from The Guardian.


Me, the not so real food critic, have been fighting it out with the other mere mortals, and have secured a reservation for early March (I booked in November).

I'm just going to watch this on repeat, I guess.

Heston Blumenthal at the Mandarin Oriental

What a revival for hotel dining in London. The Savoy is back, Koffman is at the Berkeley. And now Boulud and Blumenthal are both going to be holding court at the Mandarin Oriental.


Dinner by Herston Blumenthal opens its doors on Monday, 31st of January 2011. Reservations opened on Wednesday, and I only managed to book for March.

Apparently this won't be a "molecular gastronomy" kind of deal, like the Fat Duck, so I'm really curious about what he'll be coming up with.



Reviews should be coming in sooner than March, I expect, so I will report back as soon as I find out.
