The Gallery (Mayfair)

• In the heart of Piccadilly has to be one of the best known department stores
• Utilising the best ingredients they stock in their food hall its a great way to see how good the produce
• Juicy and incredibly meaty with a squeeze of lemon and some outstanding mayonnaise
• Glenarm salt aged beef was an absolutely stunning example
• The meat it produces is incredibly tender
• The little pockets of fat were dangerously just as good
• Red wine jus were equally delicious
• The whole salad was tossed in a sweet balsamic glaze
• Dishes like this are so simple to put together
• Dessert on the other hand really was the oddity of our meal
• Firstly it was abysmally small
• At least then the intensity could have battled with size and left you feeling more satisfied
• That's a lot of money for something which is gone in almost a blink
• Despite a slightly underwhelming dessert there is no doubt that The Gallery restaurant have got simple
• Prawns were delicious and the sides shouldn't be forgotten in fact there were many more and I plan to work my way through them
• If you think The Gallery restaurant is the biggest tourist attraction
• The Gallery is beautifully airy
• Our waiter was new to the game
• A humble dessert loving man who was more than willing to help us chose between menu items
• In a beautiful rich sauce with tiny prawns
• The cheese is rather mild
• This is the best non bake I've had
• The cheesecake is essentially cold whipped cheese that has notes of blackberry and vanilla bean
• You can easily come with friends who fancy all different types of cuisine&mdash
• The staff is upbeat and personal and the setting is just perfect for a lazy afternoon
• The Gallery is the epitome is English class in a civilised
• Offering us the space to be indecisive and take our time with our orders
• A meaty fish fried to crispy perfection scattered with baby shrimp
• Delicious and all plates were polished off nicely
• All ingredients are flavoursome and rich
• The ambience is gentle and homely
• Sunday lunch at the Gallery is a pretty relaxed affair
• Went along to the Gallery with my mother and boyfriend and I have to say the menu offered a great selection
• The salmon was really fresh and the bread that accompanied it was super yummy
• I tried some of the beef and the it was pretty exceptional
• The desert which is my favourite bit was certainly not a let down
• Even writing this now I could do with another helping
• The Gallery is light and airy
• I had the sirloin stake with bearnaise sauce (which was delicious
• Cooked to perfection and not grisly in the slightest) and my husnabd chose the lemon sole with brown shrimp
• The Gallery is situated at the back of the ground floor of Fortnum and Mason
• We both love Fortnums so were interested to find out more about their food
• Being Mother's Day it was super busy in the restaurant but despite a small queue of waiting diners forming
• The restaurant were serving their normal menu
• The salmon was some of the best I've tried delicious without being too oily and cut to a perfect thickness
• The herbs complimented the smoked fish wonderfully and our glass of Chablis was ideal to drink with the starter
• Our choice of main course was a no brainer
• The portions were so big that it gave us time for a proper catch up while we soldiered our way through the food
• By the time we ordered puddings it was very late lunchtime and they'd run out of one of the options on the fixed menu
• A scrumptious crumble with a slightly tart fruit filling
• Pre booking is probably essential at particular times of the day
• We arrived (late I may add blame the girlfriend) and the greeting from the waitress was warm and welcoming
• The drinks and food were ordered together
• My duck and pomegranate salad was actually quite nice
• The wild garlic soup for the girlfriend was very green and vibrant
• The mains arrived with a side of Jersey royals
• My monkfish was absolutely perfect but the sauce lacked a little more body and depth
• It was basically deep fried courgettes filled with soft cheese
• I'm being picky with my comments about the food
• Had a lunch meeting with a very good friend
• I must say I was pleased with a highly attentive and helpful service
• Welsh rabbits were lovely as well as large
• The food is delicious as are all the cakes
• A few weeks ago I met up with the community manager of food review site Zomato to talk all things food
• This was followed with them sending me a voucher for food at Fortnum and Mason
• The restaurant was serving the normal menu
• The salmon was some of the best I've tried delicious without being too oily and cut to a perfect thickness I find smoked salmon can be cut too thin sometimes and you can barely taste it
• I had a quick lunch with a califlower soup
• A Maldonado Iberico with melon and a glass of Champagne Fortun's Blanc de Blanc
• Even regarding these simples dishes i must say that everything was of high quality
• Specially the Iberico was realy of a great standard
• The ambience is a beat noisy and in what concerns decoration Fortun's with justify a more acurated work
• With an impressive selection of tea and cakes on offer this is a beautiful spot for afternoon tea
• The service is slow but professional
• It always seemed to me to be a bit weird how much love there was for royalty
• The last emperor was some time ago and imperial majesty is not much in vogue
• Everyone seemingly wants a piece of the crown and it is big business to be linked with nobility
