The Restaurant at Southsea, in St Lawrence Gap, Christ Church, has been named in Conde Nast Traveler’s 2004 Hot Tables list as one of the Top 66 elite restaurants worldwide.

Thomas Wallace, editor-in-chief of Conde Nast explained that the restaurant’s unique confluence of great food, outstanding service and sophisticated style placed it in this prestigious category.

“It’s not easy to make it to the Hot Tables list. The magazine’s editorial staff sifted through hundreds of noteworthy restaurants that opened in the past year, and called upon a global network of correspondents to put each dining establishment to the test.

“The result is the 2004 Hot Tables list – the definitive guide to the newest and most irresistible global eateries, which will reach three million of the most affluent, well-traveled, and discerning readers in the world of magazine publishers,” Thomas was quoted as saying.

Complete with a certificate, the letter congratulated the five-month-old restaurant on its achievement.

Charlie Taylor, and his son Barry, executive chef, have been creating a metropolitan dining experience on the island, which surpasses the usual “on-island” dining experiences.

In an interview with the Sunday Sun, former hotelier Taylor said he was exceptionally pleased with the restaurant’s achievement.

“We are just five months old, but we feel honoured to be named in such an elite group. From the beginning we felt we were the top restaurant on the island because of the quality of our food, our variety of dishes, the exceptional attention of our staff and the quality of service.

“Our staff have been an integral part of our establishment from day one,” Taylor added, as he publicly complimented each staff member on their attitude to diners.

“If you look after your staff they will look after you,” he concluded.
