I'm surprised to see le champignon didn't make the top 100 after reading your review. Maybe it didn't attract enough votes.

Andrew,

we agree that Le Champignon Sauvage deserves to be on the list. The Sunday Times notes that some good restaurants didn't get enough comments to include. Interesting too that recent 2 star recipient The Hand & Flowers failed to make the list also. The list always produces a few surprise results.

The other notable absence from the list is 3 star Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester though we have never been fans of the place.

Our congrats to One-O-One which is the only no Michelin starred restaurant to make the top 10.

Interesting that Pied a terre gets in just as it changes chef/drops a star. As for The Fat Duck: yes, the menu doesn't change much, but the level of thought, imagination and cookery that has gone into those dishes is still phenomenal and it's a bit daft they're not in at least top three. Was this reader-voted or judged?
