John Campbell is nicknamed the cerebral chef because he leaves nothing to chance- and he likes to talk about food the way others might talk about literature. His dishes are to the palate what great ideas are to the mind. This is a place where eating makes you more intelligent. The flavour combinations are daring and unique- such as his popular parsnip ice cream topped with melted chocolate. His cooking is light years away from any cliche and is accompanied by one of the very best cellars of American wines -the owner- Sir Peter Michael- has a highly reputed Californian vineyard. Discover these tantalizing flavours in beautiful premises devoted to the arts of the table and great wine and recently made even more exceptional by a brand new spa.
