While Michel Roux- the father- now takes the time to inhale the sweet aroma of grapes and write books- Alain - the son - has brilliantly taken over at the helm of the Waterside Inn. Resolutely creative French cuisine like roasted scallops on sliced baby artichokes infused with honey- orange and lemon and sprinkled with crabmeat or the salmon en papillote with pine nuts and a star anise sauce. On the terrace- in the shade of a willow tree- or in the inns cosy rooms- let yourself be soothed by the calm of the River Thames. And if you feel a desire to explore the surrounding area- you can visit Windsor castle or stroll around Savill Garden- one of the finest in England.
