Meal at The Fountain at Fortnum Mason

A very brief visit here for a little Birthday celebration revealing some classic dishes such as eggs benedict, eggs rarebit and three versions of foie gras which, I unfortunately did not take a picture of before devouring(!). The latter was a lovely option to have which I hadn’t seen anywhere else. I went here so long ago now and at a time when I was only beginning to be keen on food properly, so I don’t think I can do Fortnums justice on this however, I can say it was a highly pleasing affair,...

A very brief visit here for a little Birthday celebration revealing some classic dishes such as eggs benedict, eggs rarebit and three versions of foie gras which, I unfortunately did not take a picture of before devouring(!). The latter was a lovely option to have which I hadn’t seen anywhere else. I went here so long ago now and at a time when I was only beginning to be keen on food properly, so I don’t think I can do Fortnums justice on this however, I can say it was a highly pleasing affair, we were well looked after and the food was entirely doable, especially the foie gras. If I went back and had this now after doing the collection of Michelin venues done, no doubt I would be picking holes. But I would certainly be happy to go again whenever possible and its grandeur would dictate that I would probably only do this if I was dressed suitably.
