Each offers an unforgettable dining experience with exquisite cuisine perfectly paired with fine wines. Indulge in the sophisticated flavors and ambiance that define the city's most esteemed culinary gems.

ALAIN DUCASSE AT THE DORCHESTER

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester has long been regarded as London’s ultimate fine-dining destination, with three Michelin stars and one of just four London restaurants. The restaurant offers contemporary French cuisine in modern, elegant décor and professional, friendly service. The seasonal menu changes frequently, but diners can expect a mix of British ingredients and French techniques. The restaurant also houses London's most famous dining table, Table Lumière. It is surrounded by 4,500 shimmering optical fibers, which drop dramatically from the ceiling, cleverly allowing guests to enjoy the ambiance and buzz of the restaurant while being nearly screened from view.

We recommend–the chef’s tasting menu, where you will delight in such fare as roasted line-caught turbot, salsa, razor clams, and black garlic; pan-seared beef fillet, charred leek, mustard, and bone marrow condiment; and Jerusalem artichokes with delicate Kristal caviar cream.

DINNER BY HESTON BLUMENTHAL

Dinner, one of the city’s most anticipated openings, is now widely considered one of the country's best restaurants. Paying homage to historical British cooking, the menu reclaims traditional dishes dating back to the 16th century, reinventing them for the modern day. The menu lists dishes with the year they were first cooked, creating a unique connection to the country's rich culinary tradition. Fans of Blumenthal’s molecular gastronomy will enjoy the signature ‘Meat Fruit’ while the crowd-pleasing triple-cooked chips retain a place on the menu almost three decades after he first pioneered the dish.

We recommend–meat fruit, mandarin chicken liver parfait, grilled bread, triple-cooked chips, roast sea bass, green sauce with braised chicory, parsley, pepper, onion and eucalyptus.

Penthouse William

Discover the epitome of urban sophistication and indulgence in the heart of London's cultural hub. Nestled amidst the vibrant culinary scene of London, the breathtaking Penthouse William is poised to elevate your vacation experience beyond compare. This lavish residence in the prestigious St. James neighborhood offers unparalleled urban views, including iconic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, The Shard and Big Ben. The interiors exude aristocratic refinement and contemporary glamor, featuring extravagant velour seating, marble-clad fireplaces, and ornate wall moldings. With nearly 8000 square feet of living space spread across two floors, Penthouse William offers a luxurious retreat for up to ten guests. The master bedroom suite boasts a spacious vanity, dressing area, and spa-inspired ensuite bathroom. Guests can enjoy state-of-the-art amenities, including a gym, spa, and private elevator. The terrace and roof terrace provide magnificent settings to admire London's glittering skyline, making Penthouse William a unique and intriguing accommodation choice.

HÉLÈNE DARROZE AT THE CONNAUGHT

This three Michelin-starred restaurant showcases the talents of renowned French chef Hélène Darroze. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2019, the restaurant closed for two months to undergo a total refurbishment. Not only were the interiors modernized, but so was the menu. It reopened with a new a la carte offering that emphasized British producers more but retained odes to her classic French training. The British-themed offerings include caviar with langoustine, oyster, and runner beans and Denbighshire pigeon with beetroot, wild blueberry, and Mexican molé.

We recommend–the lobster from Cornwall with tandoori spices, carrot, citrus, and coriander; and the veal Correze with cauliflower, Carlingford oysters, Oscietra caviar and capers.

HIDE

Hide is London’s new kid on the block regarding fine dining. It has become one of the best restaurants in the city, and its reputation was sealed after receiving its first Michelin star six months after opening. The restaurant is an innovative concept split into three distinct areas: Above, Ground, and Below, with a selection of stunning private dining rooms. Hide Above’s menu changes often, but the signature dish is the nest egg, an eggshell filled with egg yolk, smoked butter, toasted mushrooms and cream.

We recommend–starting with Beluga caviar served with crème fraiche, chives, pickled shallot, and toasted crystal bread. Then, move to roast Huntsham farm suckling pig, mustard fruit puree, crushed turnip, and homemade black pudding. Finally, share the 50-day-aged short-horn beef ribeye cooked over charcoal, served with crispy potato cakes, baked shallots, virgin rapeseed béarnaise, and a salad of land cress, smoked tomatoes, and Parmesan.

Mayfair Penthouse

Mayfair Penthouse is another exquisite penthouse offering a luxurious retreat. Situated within the prestigious Jumeirah Grosvenor House Suites, it epitomizes urban luxury in London's prestigious Mayfair district. With breathtaking views of Hyde Park and the iconic City of London skyline, this luxury rental offers a blend of imperial prestige and Bondian elegance. The interiors marry art deco exuberance with old Hollywood glamor, featuring dark timber paneling, sleek lines, and elegant French doors that flood the space with natural light and city vistas. The four sumptuous double bedrooms and lavish spa-inspired ensuites ensure unmatched comfort and luxury for up to eight adults and additional guests. An additional lodging configuration is four children under 12 and six adults. Guests have a gym and a spa lounge within the building to enjoy this luxury residence fully. Two extensive balconies provide stunning views over London's most prestigious quarters, making Mayfair Penthouse the epitome of sophisticated city living.

THE LECTURE ROOM & LIBRARY AT SKETCH

Sketch's Lecture Room & Library is chic, glamorous, and trendy. It was elevated to a maximum of three Michelin stars, putting it in an elite group alongside three others in the city. The eatery offers haute cuisine in a plush setting of studded ivory leather walls, ornate plasterwork ceilings, and rich furnishings in purple and crimson. Diners can choose between a seven-course tasting menu or a full a la carte menu. There is also a vast wine list containing some impressively expensive vintages.

We recommend–From the tasting menu, we recommend sea urchin bisque with Laphroaig malt whisky, grilled baby leeks, delica pumpkin gnocchi, cuttlefish, and British shellfish. We also recommend a sea urchin tongue croquet, a slice of cured sea bass, smoked haddock, citrus jelly, a foie gras cube, port reduction, and carrots from Dunkirk with nougatine.
