Plane Food

The classic elegance that is associated with most of Gordon Ramsay's ventures is evident in this sophisticated restaurant in Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. Plane Food can be easily accessed by outbound or transiting passengers from this terminal and it's a soothing respite from the pressures of air travel. Smooth aerodynamic lines designed by renowned architects Bentel and Bentel define the decor of this restaurant, while the food is certainly a celebration of flavours, with a prominent Ramsay menu along with an innovative picnic offering for passengers.

A spot of breakfast could include eggs Benedict, smoked salmon with scrambled eggs or a selection of mini pastries while later on an a la carte could bring starters of five spiced potted duck with pear and saffron chutney. For main course, there's a delicious Suffolk pork cutlet and belly with apple compote, finally rounded off with a light elderflower jelly with berries and crème fraîche. The well travelled wine list at Plane Food demonstrates superb choices with most available by the glass.
