Aubergine

About

Gordon Ramsay is long gone from this delightful Chelsea restaurant, but thehigh standards continue under the very able direction of head chef William Drabble. The room is pleasantly small and dressy without being formal - the floor is wood but there are gilt frames on the paintings and the back of the restaurant is saved from perpetual twilight by a glass roof. What's onthe menu is haute cuisine, with excellent, specialist suppliers, hard graft in the kitchen, and complex, beautiful food on the plate. There are several set menus, and you might want to consider the seven course menu gourmand - there's a price with and without accompanying wines. This comprises MrDrabble's greatest hits in small portions - you might find game soup, foie gras mousse with grilled girolles, warm salad of truffled veg, fillet of beef with celeriac puree and Madeira jus, scallops with puree of pea and artichoke. For pud they do this chocolate sort of volcanic concoction thatis to die for. There are nearly three dozen French cheeses on the board impressively well kept. In all, Aubergine is continuing its winning streak and aren't we glad.
