Gordon Ramsay's Savoy Grill Review

I made a visit to Gordon Ramsay's Savoy Grill back in February (If you read my previous posts, you would know that I am a massive fan of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants!!) wanting to try the set lunch menu. However, the items on the set lunch menu looks rather ordinary, and since the name of the restaurant is Savoy Grill afterall... I decided to go for the grilled food items in the ala carte menu instead.

Since the ala carte menu was pricier than we budgeted for the meal, we decided to skip desserts (after browsing through the dessert menu we decided that desserts are probably not a specialty of the restaurant) and go for the starters and the mains.

Mediocre bread and butter

Orkney diver scallops with Jerusalem artichoke, hazelnut and langoustine butter

I love the scallops - huge, sweet, and juicy. But I do find it a tad pricey since it costs 22.50 pounds for 3 scallops. Scallops taste so good on their own that I feel like the improvement on a scallop dish by a really good chef is marginal. But that's just my opinion and many people still choose to order this particular dish when they're at Savoy Grill.

Mixed grill

The highlight of my meal! The Mixed grill consisted of lamb, beef, sausage, pork belly and liver. This was very nicely done (grilled over a wood charcoal oven) and the meat were so tender and flavorful. I was deciding between the different types of meat (mainly lamb and beef) and when I couldn't choose, I thought a plate of various types of meat would be amazing. Boy am I glad I made that decision! This way I get to savor the different dishes on offer without having to order so many dishes! As someone who likes variety in her food, ordering this dish is ideal. If you're just like me, do consider ordering the Mixed Grill too :)

Complimentary mini desserts

Usually I don't write about the tiny mini desserts served at the end of the meal but I feel like these deserves a special mention. I really like the banana cake in particular. So moist and yummy I wish they sell it in a larger portion!
