We weren’t surprised to learn that Dinner at Heston Blumenthal was awarded the title of Favourite restaurant in an Overseas Hotel category by Condé Nast Traveller India. Occupying prime spot within the beautiful Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in London, the fine dining restaurant is the labour of love of gastronomic genius Heston Blumenthal and is today, one of the most celebrated in the world. While the interiors of the restaurant are chic and elegant and takes its inspiration from 15th and 16th century cookery, it’s the innovative fare on offer that has garnered tremendous appreciation and recognition from food critics, chefs and customers alike. The heavily-researched menu specially-crafted by Blumenthal and Executive Chef Ashley Palmer-Watts features an array of delicious, historically-inspired British dishes, all complete with a signature Heston spin.
The award was presented to the restaurant on the 25th of November at the fourth edition of the magazine’s Readers’ Travel Awards.
