Heston Blumenthal Triumphs, Ramsay Loses in Zagat London Guide

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal was today named London’s best new restaurant by the Zagat Guide, beating competition from other leading chefs in a year when the cost of eating out jumped 6.3 percent, the most in a decade.

Gordon Ramsay Restaurant lost the top place for popularity, beaten by the Wolseley, which came third last year and also leapfrogged J Sheekey. The Ledbury held onto the title as best for food, which it took from Gordon Ramsay last year.
