RESTAURANT GORDON RAMSAY, CHELSEA
Known for his fiery temper and furrowed brow, Gordon Ramsay has quickly become one of the most famous culinary curators on television. The esculent is tailored with a mix of classic and modern techniques. This flagship restaurant is an ultimate solution for the delivery of elegant French cuisine boasting only the most exquisite seasonal ingredients. Top dishes to order include ravioli with lobster, langoustine, salmon and sorrel, Herdwick lamb with courgette, romesco, black olives and marjoram followed by a delicate raspberry soufflé with pistachio ice cream. Suckling pig, crispy belly, roasted loin, spiced shoulder sausage, chou farci and ham with crushed potatoes and spring onions are also a great option.
THE ARAKI, MAYFAIR
This exquisite gem holds an intimate dining experience. The counter alone is a 200-year old piece of Cyprus wood, a natural material that absorbs just the right amount of moisture from the rice, a shoo-in for the perfect consistency. Experience the preparation of the world’s greatest sushi by the culinary curators in front of your eyes. The Araki is well worth the long list of reservations, because of its exquisite ever-changing menu.

It came as no surprise that her very first film offer came from Sibi Malayil for Ishtam opposite Dileep. Though her parents were reluctant initially, with a little coaxing from her uncle, Director K Madhu, they agreed to let her chase her dreams and ever since, there has been no looking back for this beautiful actress. Her memorable performances during the early stages of her career in films like Nandanam, Kalyanaraman and Kunjikoonan made her one of the most sought after actresses in Mollywood. With close to 50 films to her credit in Malayalam, Tamil and Kannada, she is the recipient of two Kerala state film awards. Ritz is in conversation with the South Indian Star, Navya Nair, who after a hiatus of eight years, is making a comeback to Mollywood with her much awaited film, Oruthee!
