The menu includes starters such as roasted langoustine with braised beef carpaccio and salmon and truffle mousse, a main course of lamb saddle cooked in a coriander and mint crumb, carrot cannelloni and a dessert of crème renversée with Granny Smith sorbet and dried apple tuile.

Your Reviews of Drake's Restaurant
perfidalbione (6 December 2004)
We were keen to try this after we had scrupulously avoided its previous incarnation, Michel's. The food was excellent however the ambience remains reminiscent of the Isle of Wight in the 70s and the service was something else - not bad, just very amateurish. The real shocker is the price: Drakes charges Chelsea/Knightsbridge prices thus making it rather poor value for money across the board. Worth going if you enjoy a surreal experience and have more money than sense.

Our first visit this weekend and I can say that it was excellent. The lamb main course was superb. Nice surroundings, good service, we will certainly be back.
