Originally scheduled to fly out of Gatwick only to receive a text message at 4:00am informing me that my flight had been cancelled it was with a series of hurried calls and half-truth explanations that I eventually found my way onto a later flight from Heathrow and although to this date British Airways has yet to offer either explanation or compensation I nonetheless made the best of a bad situation at Plane Food \u2013 the Gordon Ramsay powered restaurant overlooking Terminal 5. At this point in my life no stranger to airport inconveniences with nearly 50% of my flights since the start of 2012 in some way delayed it was amidst modest expectations that I approached the airy glass space and informed on arrival of a nearly 60 minute wait I nearly turned away, my resolve only sustained by a lack of better options and a need for something to sustain the nearly eleven hour flight. Using my spare time to browse Harrod\u2019s and Heathrow\u2019s other designer boutiques and returning to Plane Food after only 45 minutes to find a two-top ready and waiting it would be mere moments before I was seated and having already perused the menu my order quickly followed, a long delay and truly dreadful service leaving water and bread unattended while the food itself actually proved both well done and surprisingly fair priced considering the locale. Obviously not meant to compete with Ramsay\u2019s highly acclaimed restaurants throughout London and, increasingly, the rest of the world but at the same time proving far superior in sourcing, skill, and quality than the traditional airport eatery suffice it to say that while perhaps not the lasting impression I wanted after nine days in the UK one would be hard pressed to name a place in stateside serving crispy duck and tender crab out of an airport terminal and although a problem with the freezers would render dessert a non-option at the very least Plane Food prevented me from having to dine on British Airways awful smelling curry\u2026though it would have required a Ramsay Happy Meal with a gifted gas mask to prevent it from sullying my sinuses as those around me dug in.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: Duck.<\/p>\n

AVOID: Expectations of restaurant quality service, even if you\u2019re technically in a restaurant.<\/p>\n

TIP: Perhaps the only airport restaurant I can think of that actually takes reservations it appears that this service is actually warranted, the young woman dining to my right telling me that Plane Food consistently sports a 60-90 minute wait throughout the day.<\/p>\n
