Food
Set within one of Mayfair's most storied hotels, this restaurant pairs French chef Hélène Darroze's refined, ingredient-led cooking with the quiet grandeur of The Connaught's dining room. Its 4.5 rating across more than 900 reviews includes plenty of travellers describing it as their first Michelin-starred meal, suggesting a warmer, more approachable style of formality than some of London's other tasting-menu temples. It works well solo, as one reviewer notes treating themselves after arriving in London alone, as well as for couples wanting a proper celebratory dinner. Expect a long, leisurely evening built around multiple courses.

What people say
"My partner, after much thorough research picked this place for our first Michelin Star experience. We’re from Australia and I can easily say that it was so worth every cent for our experience (even with the exchange rate!). The staff have a wonderful way of presenting you with the most upscale food, but you somehow feel like you’re family and welcome you so easily. Simply so warm, attentive and kind. The food is something I’ll never be able to recreate. Each dish offered a different flavour profile that was so interesting, I was never bored tasting something. It felt like it brought my tastebuds to life!! Flavours we didn’t think would work melted to well together. This one in a lifetime experience was so incredible. Thank you to everyone who was so kind to us!"
