One Star: High quality cooking
Set over a number of intimate dining rooms is this flagship restaurant of the charming Gilpin Hotel; be sure to start your visit with an aperitif in the bar or one of their many cosy sitting rooms. The cooking adopts a modern and sometimes playful style, including the increasingly common incorporation of Japanese ingredients. Whether it's smoked sake paired with turbot, nori with veal sweetbread or hōjicha with white chocolate, these flavours are used liberally to enhance the central components.
