Hélène Darroze at The Connaught

Modern Cuisine · ★★★ Michelin

££££

A wood-panelled dining room within the historic Connaught Hotel might suggest an overly formal environment for Hélène Darroze’s London restaurant, but its soft furnishings and pastel colours give it a wonderfully cosy feel which helps put you at ease. The talented kitchen team bring outstanding technical mastery and attention to detail to the very best seasonal produce, while some of the accompanying flavours are informed by Hélène’s international travels, like the Isle of Mull lobster with tandoori spices. For dessert, the signature 'Baba' with a choice of Armagnacs from Hélène's brother Marc

Sketch, The Lecture Room and Library

Modern French · ★★★ Michelin

££££

There’s a sense of theatre to every element of Mourad Mazouz and Pierre Gagnaire’s 18th-century house of fun. As you climb the stairs up to The Lecture Room and Library, the anticipation grows, then stepping into the gloriously colourful and lavishly decorated room both inspires and excites – there really is no restaurant in London quite like this. The multi-dish cooking is also unique in the city, where perfectly seared Cornish wild turbot comes with clams and mango, along with a mosaic of its skirt; and succulent roasted leg of Welsh lamb is accompanied by sweetbreads and kidney, with its fi

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

French · ★★★ Michelin

££££

As soon as you are welcomed with warmth and charisma by the outstanding service team, you know you're in for a special experience at this jewel of a restaurant. The chefs achieve a perfect blend of modernity and classicism, combining seasonal dishes that embrace Alain Ducasse's beloved 'naturalité' with a roster of his signature recipes – such as the peerless rum baba, a dessert that consistently delivers culinary ecstasy. Underpinning it all are outstanding ingredients, technical mastery and miraculous balance in dishes that can be at once intense and fresh, both rich and delicate.

Gymkhana

Indian · ★★ Michelin

££££

The clubs of colonial India are the inspiration for this impeccably run restaurant. It's spread across two levels: the ground floor booths are perfect for lunch, while the vivid red basement has a more intimate feel. The extensive menus are predominantly Northern Indian in style, featuring superbly executed, traditionally based dishes. Balance, sophistication and depth are all present in the cooking, with options like tandoori masala lamb chops and kid goat methi keema standing out.

Row on 5

Modern Cuisine, Creative · ★★ Michelin

££££

The name of Jason Atherton’s flagship operation is short for ‘Refinement of Work’ – and indeed there is a great deal of refinement in every inch of this mightily impressive restaurant. The premises, on the iconic Savile Row, have been fitted out with no-expense-spared luxury, while the service is charming and attentive in equal measure. Chef Spencer Metzger leads the kitchen, taking outstanding British produce and adding depth of flavour with unerring skill – as in the sika deer with a sublime sauce flavoured with red fruit and beetroot. The wine list, as you may expect, is an oenophile's deli

Umu

Japanese · ★ Michelin

££££

From its discreet entrance to its elegant décor, Umu has always been a restaurant for that special occasion. The menu is influenced by the delicate cuisine of Kyoto, but other regions of Japan are also represented. You can expect a nod to British produce as well, with dishes like ginjo sake cured Scottish langoustine. The ingredients are of top quality and their natural flavours are always brought to the fore. Some dishes are simple; others are presented with a flourish at the table – but all are prepared with considerable care and respect.

The Ritz Restaurant

Modern British · ★★ Michelin

££££

With its stunning Louis XVI decoration, this is a room that will take your breath away, and there’s a flamboyancy in the delivery of the dishes that lives up to the surroundings. Equally impressive is the cooking itself, displaying balance, refinement and depth of flavour at every turn. You need only take one glance at the menu featuring dishes like langoustine 'à la nage' to see that classical French techniques and luxury ingredients both play a big role in proceedings. The sharing ‘Arts de la Table’ dishes allow the impeccable service team to keep the theatre of the gueridon trolley alive.

557m

Benares

Indian · ★ Michelin

££££

Named after India’s spiritual capital, Benares marries tradition with daring modernity. You’re greeted at the foot of the stairs, then escorted up past a flower-filled pool and busy bar into the cleverly textured restaurant. The private dining rooms and large lounge make it popular with businesspeople, but this is also somewhere for an intimate evening. Sameer Taneja’s signature dishes include Malabar scallops and batak nihari – prime examples of cooking that shows confidence, freshness and vitality, with the exemplary quality of the ingredients shining through.
