Céleste - The Lanesborough London (Knightsbridge)

• S glorious doors and I can confirm the refurbishment was definitely worth the wait
• As soon as I knew they were takings bookings I was there
• The dining room is incredible ( even though I'd seen it before when it was Apsleys) the food is perfection and the service is exceptional
• Each course was mindblowing
• I was really impressed with Celeste overall
• Some of the dishes were spectacular and full of imagination and drama without being gimmicky
• Me Celeste is the best restaurant opening in 2015 so far and hard to imagine any other opening later this year which can rival it
• My brother had a cold starter with lobster good chunks of meat presented as a sort of salad
• I suspect I would have done so much more with the absence of peppers
• A gloriously seductive Guanaja chocolate mousse with streusel crumble
• Executive chef Florian Favario has taken his experience from a 3 star kitchen in Paris combining with prime British ingredients to create some of the most exciting dishes I have encountered this year
• The first post back after a long holiday is always hard to get into
• Munching on a bowl of porridge with chia seeds
• The newly refurbished Lanesborough Hotel in Knightsbridge is testament to the unending nature of one of the best cities in the world
• T even know it was just a year old interior wise &ndash
• Ll notice everything is that little more polished and materials made from ever slightly more modern fabrics
• The air con was very cold when we arrived but charming staff quickly put that right
• Good service is wonderful but service with a big
• Genuine smile is rather more special
• The little amuse bouches were intriguing
• Slightly over chilled but with excellent flavours
• One ate a Caesar's salad that did not appear on the menu it was cleverly presented on a base made from a cross section cut of iceberg lettuce
• I then tasted the duck and could easily have eaten the lot it was outstanding
• Which mine (a lemon meringue served with fresh strawberries) was beautifully presented and excellent tiny flecks of lemony jelly and fresh thyme added an extra dimension
• The room (when the air con came under control) is so attractive that it makes the evening special
• The prices are eye wateringly high but every plate exceeded expectations so it would be churlish not to say that the price was pretty well worth it
• I went here with my boyfriend and a friend for some post Prom food in July
• Ultimately I was glad I was
• Whatever an item of food is supposed to taste like
• My boyfriend was in the mood for a bit of low volume singing
• The tea time was phenomenal
• Make a reservation they are generally fully booked
