Murano receives high listing in Harden's London Guide

1st September 2009, 4:05pm

Gordon Ramsay Holdings' Italian restaurant Murano, overseen by Angela Hartnett, has won the title of London's Best New Restaurant in the latest edition of Harden's London Restaurants Guide.

Murano has received the Rémy Martin VSOP Award for London's Best Newcomer of the year.

Guide co-editor Peter Harden commented on the results: "Angela Hartnett is to be congratulated, and Murano's success shows the Ramsay group still 'has what it takes'. The year's survey results, though, confirm there are some very deep-seated problems in the group, and we have to hope that Murano's success marks a real 'turning point'.

"All eyes will now turn to Pétrus – Ramsay's forthcoming fine dining restaurant shortly to be reborn in Belgravia. An undoubted success there would really confirm that the green shoots of a true Ramsay recovery were starting to show through."

Ramsay's former protégé Marcus Wareing's restaurant at the Berkeley Hotel has maintained its position as London's undoubted best top restaurant (first gained last year).

Other highlights include Bruce Poole's Wandsworth restaurant Chez Bruce winning London's favourite restaurant, The Woleseley topping the survey nomination as best for business, and La Poule au Pot in Pimlico, was voted London's most romantic restaurant.

Over 8,000 restaurant-goers took part in the survey. The new edition of Harden's London Restaurants published today in association with Remy Martin.
