Murano - Mayfair, London

Angela Harnett opened her new restaurant Murano recently on 21st August in the heart of Mayfair, London. Under the Gordon Ramsay umbrella, Murano claims to serve modern cuisine with an Italian accent reflecting Angela's family roots.

I was visiting Murano with some business colleagues and running slightly behind schedule so by the time I got there they were already into the Champagne. I was met by a very friendly member of staff and immediately spotted my colleagues seated on the other side of the room. The restaurant is smallish, but very smart and beautifully decorated and with a nice buzzy atmosphere. We were seated nearer to the kitchens where they have a chef's table for private dining. We asked if we could have a look at the chefs table and they duly obliged.

The food in my opinion was excellent and the service very friendly. All in all we had a great afternoon finally leaving as the first customer for the evening service arrived.

This is a fine restaurant serving excellent food and a really nice place to go.

Update 13/05/2009
Murano was recently awarded its first Michelin Star in the 2009 Michelin Guide.
