What is London's most beautiful restaurant
 
What is London's most beautiful restaurant? I am interested in a very lovely Easter dinner.

Are we talking food or setting here? I think Rules is spectacular in an old fashioned "men's club" way. For elegance it's hard to beat The Criterion. Certainly the main dining room at The Ritz is a spectacular setting. The setting and view from the Oxo Tower is pretty special also.

The river room at the Savoy takes some beating (and is stratospherically expensive)

have to agree - will find it hard to beat the view from the oxo tower!

Last week's business section of the New York Times had an interesting article regarding London's Petrus restaurant, an apparently posh, expensive and fashionable dining spot. Six London bankers dined there and managed to have a multicourse expensive meal for which they weren't charged. Why? In addition to food, the party ordered a pack of cigarettes, four Kronenbourg beers and a significant number of bottles of wine. The wine, beer and cigarette bill totaled $63,000.00 U.S. an amount so astonishing that restaurant management didn't charge for foods eaten. Five of the bankers were subsequently fired for trying to claim their portion of the $63,000 bar bill on their expense reports. So, if you're looking for a fashionable restaurant where dining is free, consider Petrus and a couple of $17,000.00 bottles of wine.
