The Ritz in London has been named the UK’s best restaurant at the prestigious National Restaurant Awards. Founded in 1906, the restauran predates the title behind the awards, Restaurant magazine, by almost a century. It is arguably London’s most glamorous place to dine and serves a menu of French haute cuisine, inspired in part by the dishes of the legendary Auguste Escoffier. It is also now the only one where men must wear a jacket and tie, while women are asked to arrive in evening wear.
