These have all picked up a gong or two... or three
Remember how chuffed you were when you got your 50m swimming badge? Of course you can, it was an awesome achievement. So just imagine how rip-roaringly over the moon you'd be if you were adjudged to be the best in the entire city at something. Or even the country. Or maybe even the world.
Well, that's where some of these restaurants find themselves - with more accolades than Man Utd's trophy cabinet, see our list of London's best award-winning restaurants... from Harden awards, S. Pellegrinos, Michelin stars and even the coveted All In London: All In One Ultimate Restaurant Award.
Not a 50m swimming badge in sight though.
Chez Bruce has been voted London’s favourite restaurant in Harden’s guide several times, as well as earning a Michelin star and 3 AA Rosettes. Add to that being voted number 1 favourite by readers of The Observer as well as Restaurant of the Year from south west London magazine Time & Leisure, and you have a restaurant that is beloved of Londoners and critics alike.
Le Gavroche was voted best restaurant in Europe by the 2012 Traveller’s Choice Restaurant Awards, yet another accolade to add to a lengthy list of Michelin stars and high rankings from AA, World’s 50 Best Restaurants and the Good Food Guide. In 1982 it became the first British restaurant to earn 3 coveted stars (it retains two). More recently Michel Roux Jr. was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by Tatler magazine.
