Reasons to go

The dining room is over a century old, reflecting the hotel's long-standing storied history.

📖

Full description

Dining at The Ritz is as much about the room as the food — gilded ceilings, chandeliers, and a formality reviewers describe as making an evening feel like a real event, right down to the enforced dressing-up. The classic French menu is executed with the polish expected of one of London's most storied hotel restaurants, and at 4.7 stars and premium pricing, it consistently ranks among diners' most memorable evenings.

Its high aesthetic and culture scores reflect both the spectacle of the setting and its century-plus history. This is a restaurant for marking something significant rather than a casual dinner out.

Reviews

Stunning beautiful surroundings and the real feeling of occasion that comes from the (admittedly enforced) act of dressing up very nicely, it's a special experience to eat here. The food is excellent quality and well prepared. Every dish we tried from the a la carte, from the creamy pea veloute, to the Dorset Crab…
