The Fat Duck

Bray, UK

• Best of the Best
• World's Best Restaurant 2005

Heston Blumenthal is responsible for catapulting molecular gastronomy into British consciousness. Open since 1995, his trailblazing restaurant in bucolic Berkshire is a gastronome’s playground – plus a former number one on The World’s 50 Best list. Expect a hyper-modern, hyper-experiential tasting menu of fairy-tale proportions from a maverick master of technique and playful presentation. Set within a 16th-century inn, guests dine on innovative dishes hooked around the concept of nostalgia. Go down the rabbit hole for the likes of mock turtle soup, savoury cereal and the Counting Sheep dessert, which includes a levitating pillow of frozen earl grey tea mousse in pistachio purée. But be warned, nothing is quite as it seems.
