The Ritz London Review Stunning Sumptuous And Other Superlatives

The Ritz is associated with luxury and glamour. The Ritz London is a landmark that embodies these associations through and through — from the rooms to the Michelin-starred restaurant that dishes out nothing but peak gourmet cooking. The Ritz reviews are a testament to the great dining experience that the hotel’s restaurant offers. And here’s another quick review to convince you to try it finally.

A Ritzy Dining Experience

This over-a-century-old hotel founded by legendary Swiss hotelier César Ritz lies at the heart of London. The hotel, as a whole, exudes a certain kind of English warmth and refined French elegance (César Ritz is also famously known for founding the Hôtel Ritz in Paris, which was built eight years before the birth of The Ritz in London).

As you may have read in other The Ritz London reviews out there, The Ritz restaurant is known for serving a classic French menu while spotlighting the finest British ingredients. It’s a unique gastronomical marriage that ties well with the storied hotel's appeal.

The restaurant’s executive chef is John Williams MBE, who first joined the hotel back in 2004. Under his belt — or chef hat, rather — is a 40-year experience in the hospitality trade. He uses that experience, combined with his innate passion for cooking, to bring The Ritz dishes to a ritzy-kind of a dining experience.

Fairly enough, The Ritz Restaurant has ultimately earned one of those coveted Michelin stars.

Apart from being stunningly delicious and sumptuous, the Ritz menu is exciting because it changes seasonally. Depending on what "Best of British" produce is available, they offer meals that are classic yet inventive. But no matter the season, the six-course meal (paired with well-picked wine) that they serve is sure to more than satisfy your cravings for fine dining.

It also helps to enjoy great food in an equally opulent dining setting. The dining room is rife with luxury complete with floor-to-ceiling windows where you can view the scenic Green Park. And every Friday and Saturday night, the whole place becomes livelier with their "Live at The Ritz" programme. It’s a dinner-and-dancing kind of live entertainment that brings the atmosphere to an even higher notch.

If you want to wind down, however, they also offer the popular Afternoon Tea in their Palm Court salon (Be sure to book in advance because there are only five sitting from 11:30 a.m. To 7:30 p.m.). And if you’re down for London’s best cocktails, you can always choose to sit at their Rivoli Bar.

From the main dishes to tea-and-pastry combos to awesome cocktails, you can certainly enjoy a memorable dining experience when you go to one of London’s finest.

France Restricts Some Mineral Oils in Inks for Packaging and Printed Paper

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is advising stakeholders that France will implement restrictions on two categories of mineral oil in ink for packaging and printed paper from January 1, 2023.

The French Ministry of Ecological Transition issued Decree of April 13, 2022, on May 3, 2022, regulating two categories of mineral oil. This follows Decree No. 2020-105 on the ‘Fight Against Waste and the Circular Economy’, published in 2020, Article 112 of which regulates mineral oils in packaging:

January 1, 2022 – mineral oils prohibited from packaging
January 1, 2025 – mineral oils prohibited from printing intended for the general public. (NB. January 1, 2023, for unsolicited advertising materials and catalogs for commercial promotions)

The law also allows the applicable conditions of Article 112 to be defined by Decree.

Articles D543-45-1 and D543-213 of the Environment Code and Decree No. 2020-1725 of December 29, 2020 ‘Various Adaption Provisions Relating to Extended Producer Responsibility’, set the conditions for the implementation of restrictions relating to mineral oils containing substances that disrupt the recycling of packaging wastepaper or restrict the use of recycled materials because of the risk of these substances to human health. Decree of April 13, 2022, implements the requirements in Articles D543-45-1 and D543-213 and Decree No. 2020-1725.

The Decree contains several important provisions:

Pushes back the effective date for Article 112 of Decree No. 2020-105 from January 1, 2022, to January 1, 2023
Defines mineral oils as oils produced from feedstocks derived from petroleum hydrocarbons used in the production of inks
Provides a specific definition for mineral oils and specifies their requirements in ink:
MOAH (mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons) consisting of one to seven aromatic rings
MOSH (mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons) consisting of 16 to 35 carbon atoms
Indicates that compliance can be checked before or after application or printing (Section 3)

Stakeholders should be aware the restrictions on MOAH and MOSH do not apply to packaging, printing intended for the public, letters from advertising leaflets and unsolicited catalogs aimed at commercial promotions if there are specified requirements in a community provision that expressly authorizes the use of the (mineral) oil in the ink.

The effect date for the Decree is January 1, 2023, and there are two transitional periods:

Packaging and printed matter of paper manufactured or imported before January 1, 2023, is required to be disposed of by December 31, 2023
Compliant packaging and printed paper manufactured or imported before specific deadlines is required to be disposed of within 12 months of those deadlines

For more information on the requirements for MOSH and MOAH and the specific deadlines, read SGS’s original SafeGuardS 068/22.

Martinizing Cleaners Opens New Location in McKees Rocks PA

Clean Franchise Brands (CFB), the largest dry cleaning and laundry company on the planet, recently announced the opening of a Martinizing Cleaners at 537 Clever Road, McKees Rocks, PA.

As everybody heads back to the office, we’re hitting the ground running, full steam ahead.”

OS-SiA is the industry's first AI-enabled digital scanner that will provide real-time predictive analysis and actionable insights.

"Currently, the digital pathology slide scanners are restricted to partial or whole slide image acquisition and digitization into an image. Our next-generation scanner OS-SiA scans and analyzes simultaneously eliminating the need for additional processing applications," said Abhi Gholap, Founder & CEO, OptraSCAN. "This patent highlights our constant efforts to improve the adoption of digital pathology solutions and support the pathology community."
