The menu prices were a little on the high but the setting was exquisite so certainly worth it.

Yes in Bray London. We called night prior to make reservations for 3 and voila.Service is excellent! Food good but I've had better in Paris from a 1 star Michelin.The least memorable was the Apple pie.

If you're looking for a quaint, 3-star meal in an English village, this is the place to go. It's tucked in a quiet street with a beautiful patio sitting right on the banks of the Thames. What we did, and what I highly recommend, is coming about an hour early to sit on the patio and enjoy drinks before your table is ready. I suggest going with wine because their cocktail menu is a bit steep for standard drinks (a mojito was 21 pounds). We went with the set dinner which I highly suggest doing, especially if it's your first time eating here, as it allows you to fully explore the food here. The food here feels focused on delivering classic, upscale food and not so much worried about what's "trendy." While it may not be the most exciting meal you eat, the quality is excellent. I believe the menu changes a bit seasonally, but the highlight for me was my guinea fowl entree. It came with a piece of white meat and dark meat, and it was so tender you almost couldn't tell which was which. The service here was what truly gave this restaurant its 3 stars in my opinion. The waiters were extremely attentive without feeling overbearing. Every course was timed to perfection with a set of waiters clearing and delivering the plates all at the same time. The way they effortlessly carried us through our 3-hour meal was truly an experience in itself.

I visited The Waterside Inn with friends on a Sunday lunchtime in December. It is a lovely restaurant located beside the river in Bray serving French cuisine. The dining room has a river view which I can imagine would be lovely in the summer. From arrival, where we were greeted with valet parking, it showed why it has consistently held 3 Michelin Stars for over 25 years. The service was excellent, with just the right mix of playfulness and professionalism. We went for the tasting Menu Exceptionnel which several of us paired with a fantastic Sancerre. The food was excellent, very rich and full of butter (heavenly). All in all a perfect meal and definitely worth a second visit.
Be the first to ReplyA very good restaurant.
We had the taste menu. From 7.00-11.00, we got warm welcome. All staff are very nice. We enjoyed to talk to them and the owner is nice as well. Treat us two desert wine. We love all the dishes, especially the sole.

Very good meals especially after a long and tiring flight due to wind and turbulence, low visibility. Needed something fresh and plenty of vitamins that's the place to go

Nestled in picturesque Bray, an ancient exurb on the distant Western end of Greater London, the Waterside Inn is a culinary icon. Albert Roux runs the place, taking over for his dad Michel Roux who had the reins from 1977-2010. The family is basically gastronomical legend; the restaurant has held 3 stars for 31 years.Service was distant and French, but attentive enough to merit decent marks. Each dish was precisely-cut, full of gorgeous color, and delicious to look at- and usually to eat.You'll drop at last $500 per couple here without alcohol, so beware that this is a splurge trip to beat the band.

Be the first to ReplyAs one of the four 3 star Michelin restaurants in the UK,
As one of the four 3 star Michelin restaurants in the UK, The Waterside Inn sets the bar high. And for most of the evening, it meets expectations. Warming up with a G&T at the bar, the complimentary hors d'heuvres are a nice kick starter to give an idea what is to come for the rest of the evening. Having taken a seat in the classic but comfortable dining room, we are presented with an amuse bouche, a clever popcorn soup, made from creamy corn and with bits of chicken and popcorn in it. A promising start to the dining experience! The Menu Exceptionel then "officially" opens with a beautiful dish of lobster with beetroot and caviar, cleverly composed with different textures and flavours - expectations are rising further with every bite. Next comes a velouté of chestnuts and champagne with a single diablotin (a small dumpling, stuffed with partridge and foie gras) in it. A wonderful dish, with warm umami flavours pleasing the palate - I just wish there would have been a few more of the gorgeous diablotins... Next comes a breaded medallion of monkfish in chorizo sauce, and while that was very pleasant and perfectly prepared, it represented a big drop in ingenuity as it was an unsurprising and somewhat "been there, done that" type of dish. The same actually goes for the next dish, roast duck (carved at the table), which was again cooked perfectly but lacked originality. The palate cleanser that followed made up for that in spades - the beautiful dark green basil sorbet found its perfect match in a passion fruit crème: what a strike of genius, unmatched during the whole evening when it comes to inspiration, courage simplicity and ingenuity. Bravo! The yoghurt dessert again resembles the first (lobster) course in its playfulness with different textures and flavours, again very well and carefully composed. The final desert, a yellow plum (mirabelle) soufflé represents perfected craftsmanship, a simple yet lovely and flawlessly executed dish. Strong espresso, a selection of petit fours and a couple of interesting and enjoyable digestives (we went for a 30th anniversary house Armagnac and a Costa Rican aged rum) round off the evening in style. The wine flight that accompanied the menu was pricey, but very well matched with the dishes; the service was always attentive, friendly and professional. Compared to the other two 3 star restaurants I sampled in the UK, my ranking is as follows:1. The Fat Duck - every dish a surprise and great food combined with great entertainment, difficult to top. Coming back is much less exciting as the menu does not vary often enough.2. Gordon Ramsay's, Hospital Road - a very consistent experience where every dish held its own and offered a number of unspectacular but memorable surprises3. The Waterside Inn - would be at par with Mr. Ramsay if the fish and meat dish had been less classic and more imaginative.Alain Ducasse, the last 3 starred food palace in the UK, is next on the list!
Be the first to ReplyReached via £20 roundtrip ticket from Paddington to
Reached via £20 roundtrip ticket from Paddington to Maidenhead and a two kilometer walk through English countryside to follow it was mere minutes before my noon reservation that I arrived at Waterside Inn and although as highly rated by Michelin as its Bray neighbor, The Fat Duck, suffice it to say that the two experiences could not possibly have been any different - the formal dining room and riverside locale of Waterside seemingly its only selling points unless one shows up as a septuagenarian dripping in pearls. Perhaps the very definition of hoity-toity and the sort of place where pretense is palpable in air from the moment one walks through the door it was to raised eyebrows and a sneered 'can I help you' that I was greeted on entry and after 'consulting the register' to confirm my reservation I was taken to the back - a seat on the edge of the room furthest from the river my prize, one leg of my chair literally abutting the stone patio as I was handed a menu and immediately scolded for taking a flashless photo entirely free of noise. At this point already detecting a trend and admittedly a bit perplexed regarding a rule apparently grandfathered in just a few weeks ago it was here that I opted to consult the maitre d' and with both he and Chef Alain Roux soon arriving tableside after a lengthy delay and some fancy but forgettable canapes a wordy explanation unfurled - the end result me walking out of a Michelin 3* establishment after the words "I've been managing restaurants since before you were born" trickled from one of their mouths.RECOMMENDED: Free Canapes?AVOID: Being young and caring about your food more than the 'exclusivity of the experience and protection of our patrons.'TIP: Having dined both with multi-millionaires and persons receiving Medicaid benefits I've not once experienced the degree of classist behavior I saw at Waterside Inn. Tall enough that it would have been difficult for anyone in the room to truly 'look down' on me I guess I can instead check-off 'nose in the air' as a more appropriate descriptor of everyone from the door to the dining room. With The Fat Duck mere meters away and Heston's two Pubs equally close by suffice it to say your time and money can be put to far better use in the Town of Bray.

First stop on my weekend of Michelin excess!I will say that I do love The Waterside Inn for the experience as a whole. The atmosphere is a breath of fresh air away from the endless battle for who can be the most trendy within London, and takes you more into old school class. The location is lovely in picturesque Bray, directly on a particularly pretty part of the Thames. I wish it had been warmer so that I could have experienced the outdoor portions right on the river! The service is absolutely perfect, and they have no qualms about you chilling out in the lounge for tea/drinks for all eternity after the dining, despite their preparations for a big Christmas dinner in the evening!We had the menu exceptionelle (read: tasting menu), and supplemented a cheese course to go with. At the end, I was satisfied but not bursting with fullness levels, which is nice. Bits of the meal were fantastic, but for the level of the restaurant's reputation, I'm feeling a tad underwhelmed. The meat course was definitely the stand out as the venison was so tender and the pumpkin subric served with it was absolutely creamy and phenomenal. There was a lowlight in the lobster course, but I'm seriously so over lobster as a gourmet food item. It's rarely ever done just right. Not to mention that the staff said the lobster was a signature dish! Hrm. Moving on, the souffle was easily the best souffle I've ever had. As a minor gripe, the cheese course was £29 which seems quite steep to me for a "supplement" to a tasting menu.Waterside Inn is definitely worth the experience. I think if I ever have a chance to revisit, I'd be more inclined to try the a la carte options to get a better feel for where they truly shine.
