10 Best restaurants for French in London

Branché London

I went today with my friends and considering the fact that it was so busy and there were only 2 workers we thought it would take a long time however the service was amazing. The girl sanjana and boy ameesh are both jems to the store and they honestly made our experience so good with how kind, helpful and friendly they were. Honestly such a lovely experience thank you. I will definitely be going again and I definitely recommend everyone to go there.

Lovely place and service. Food tastes amazing, just wish there was more variety on the menu. More original dishes would be great. French Tacos are great! I love "the healthy" one.

10/10, such lovely staff that have great knowledge about there foods and menus. Food was super delicious and fresh. Coffees were also great. Definitely give this a try.

The creme brulee French toast was honestly one of the best I've ever had!

We will be back for more, incredible food with a brilliant atmosphere and service. Each plate of food was well thought out and delicious!

I went to branché today and thoroughly enjoyed myself! The interior was gorgeous, the music created a lively atmosphere, and the food was tasty. My friends are I were served by Swathi and she was so friendly and funny, she told us jokes and was so quick to help us and meet our requests. Would recommend and would definitely come back!

Mr White's English Chophouse Whitechapel, traditional British dishes with French tweaks from Marco Pierre White

Mr. White’s English Chophouse London Whitechapel

I went with a couple of friends on 12th Sept. The staff were really polite, patient and very helpful. The food was on point. My steak was cooked perfectly and the mash was absolutely delish! A relaxed vibe and a great place to visit with family or friends. Super easy to get to via public transport, only a 5 minute walk from Whitechapel station. Definitely plan on visiting again with the family.

We went there for our son’s birthday and what a wonderful choice it was! The menu is uncomplicated and the staff are friendly. There’s absolutely no compromise on taste and each dish was booked to perfection. Loved the béarnaise sauce! The Cheesecake with most moreish blueberries was a perfect end! Definitely going back for more.

We were 4, 3 of us celebrating our birthdays. So we decided to get us some good halal steak. The Chophouse popped up and the menu was very attractive.

Loved the vibe of the place and how well isolated it is from the hustle and bustle outside.

We had a reservation, the restaurant knew why we were coming. The initial impression was that the place was very clean and in prep mode for dinner service. We were seated promptly and were handed the menus as well. I liked that we were not rushed in making our choices for any of the drinks or courses. Kudos to the service for observing and being patient.

We got a few mocktails first and scanned the menu for our starters: calamari and camembert duos. Camembert slapped but calamari while crispy felt a bit light on the calamari. It would be good if the restaurant would go for a little bit thicker cut. I would pay a bit more for it if need be.

For the mains we shared a tomahawk with some garlic prawns and a selection of chips/fries and sauces.

Steak: Good size for our appetites but more aimed at being shared between 2 people I would say. We made up for it with the garlic prawns which were very well cooked, dressed and chef's kiss all around. Chunky chips and the fries were very very good as well. Highly rate. Sauces wise the bearnaise and garlic butter combo was my fav with the steak. Also, cute note: the ketchup & mayo pots!! Such a nice touch!

Dessert wise we went for sticky toffee pudding all round and that was the perfect end. Lighter than I'd expected and not too sweet. Really well balanced for my taste.

Overall, I would go here again for such group dinners as there are few great halal steak places around here and this is certainly a contender in the top 10 in London.

Just...more calamari plz.

Shout-out to Ahad for the exemplary service all round!

A solid choice for a dining experience in London! The restaurant offers a menu with classic British and Italian influences, and the quality of the dishes reflects the care in their preparation. The steak and pasta options stand out for their flavor. The atmosphere is stylish and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed evening. While the service is generally good, it could be a bit more attentive during busy times. Overall, a delightful spot worth trying. Recommended 👌.

First time trying this Whitechapel branch. Excellent cut of meats. Chose the mixed grill and the lamb chops were divine, so tender. Really loved the beef fillet and sirloin steak. The green beans are also good and the steak cut chips were fat & crispy. Our server was friendly and hospitable.

All our meat is Halal. Please let a member of staff know when booking or visiting.

Internationally renowned French Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten brings his signature cuisine to London

Jean-Georges at The Connaught

Dinner at Jean Georges at The Connaught looks great and the service is polished but the food landed in the “good, not special” zone for me.

The best thing I had was a small complimentary soup from the chef  genuinely excellent, and I wish it were on the menu.

Nice room, worth a try if you’re nearby.

I hate writing this, but if management reads these, I think you should pay attention here!

Your restaurant is beautiful and has nice views out the windows.  The wine list is extensive, your menu looks great, and your team tries to provide great service.  You have everything it takes to be great, but you're simply not.

Highlights:  your somm Veronica is truly exceptional, so is her colleague from France, but I did not get his name sadly.  She made our visit one to remember.  Talked openly about wines she loves, educated us, made us feel like family.  She is your greatest asset currently.  He also did a great job and let us try another dessert wine that he wanted to contrast with what we were drinking.  Drinks and wines by the glass were great, food is good but not exceptional.  Dining room is really pretty and nicely lit.  Our server could not have been nicer, but he was clearly new at this and a bit out of his league.  I realize we dined on a Monday night, but you should never have your B-team on site for dinner at a place with your reputation.

Lowlights:  Without any discussion of the menu and prior to us even receiving our drinks or any bread, the server asked "are you ready to order", I was honestly a bit taken aback!  You did not give us any thoughts about the menu or ask if we had questions, nothing to help us along here.  This was a big miss.  Amuse came out and it was excellent, did not even clear that plate and our appetizers were delivered.  Never bring food to the table before clearing the last course, this is common knowledge and far inferior restaurants do this better than you did.  It also immediately made me feel rushed.  Server trying to get our order quickly, then food showing up rapid fire.  I had to ask for the entree to be slowed down and the server said he would wait 5-10 minutes to put it in.  25-30 minutes later he comes back and asks if he can fire our entrees?  In my mind, I'm thinking we already agreed to this and I don't work here so don't bring me issues.  Just do what we discussed, not hard.

Finally, when your restaurant has few diners on a Monday night, don't seat all the customers next to each other.  You seated 2 different parties of 2 across from us when there were 10 other tables you could have put them at.  It created a bottleneck in that hallway and people were having trouble getting through there.  Rookie mistake by the people who seat your customers, think it through, space people out, create a bit of privacy.

I don't think we will be back, but we did enjoy certain aspects of the experience.  Again, our server was very personable but is not ready for the job due to you not training him on what excellent service looks like.  Thanks again to both Somms, they made it worth being there!  It would have been a 3 star review otherwise.

Really enjoyed dinner here, sadly don't have a picture of the lamb chops but they were cooked and seasoned to perfection and couldn't recommend them enough. Our favourite starters were the crispy salmon bites aabd the tuna tartare. Service is great here as you'd expect and if you go for a drink at any of the Connaught's bars they are happy to move your drinks and tab with you.

Shockingly rude service at Jean-Georges at The Connaught Hotel. We cancelled our lunch reservation, called to confirm, and were told outdoor tables were walk-in only so no need to rebook. When we arrived, the hostess coldly said we could only stay for one hour. The staff rushed us, brought the bill without asking, and told us to leave — even though the terrace was almost empty and no one came to take those tables after we left.

We had already reached the minimum spend, yet they still added a £24 service charge. When we asked for its removal, they sneakily replaced it with a “cover charge” for the exact same amount and suddenly raised the minimum spend from £60 to £65. The manager was arrogant, dismissive, and claimed he was “doing us a favor” by letting us sit at all. For a restaurant in such a prestigious hotel, this level of unprofessionalism and disrespect is shocking.

We came for high tea and thoroughly enjoyed the service, ambience and scones. The sandwiches were dry and tea selection/taste very average - surprisingly as one would expect perfection knowing that high tea for 2 (we didn’t have the alcohol) cost 200£.

Overall an interesting experience but wouldn’t be rushing back.

Lamb chops and beef fillet steak are both halal, with plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on the menu. Halal meat is to be preordered 48 hours before your reservation when booking, and afternoon tea is available every day of the week.

Crome London

I went for the £14 unlimited French toast deal (every first Thursday of the month). As a French toast lover, I had to try it and here’s my honest review.

One thing to note upfront: there’s a hidden rule where you can’t place any new orders in the last 20 minutes of your one-hour slot. This wasn’t very clear from the start, and it makes a big difference if food comes out slowly.

Food: The French toast itself is amazing. Delicious, sweet, and satisfying. My boyfriend and I tried four flavours: Lotus, Dubai Pistachio, Berry, and Salted Caramel. The pistachio with kunafa was my favourite, Lotus was great too. Salted Caramel wasn’t really for us, and Berry was quite sour but actually a nice balance to all the sweetness.

System & Service: This is where it needs improvement. There weren’t enough staff to keep up, so orders took a long time. Our first plate came quite late, and although we finished it in under 5 minutes, it took a while for plates to be cleared and for us to place another order. The second plate took another 10–20 minutes to arrive. By the time we wanted a third round, we were told there were only 10 minutes left, so we couldn’t order anymore. In the end, most of our “unlimited” hour was spent waiting rather than eating.

Another thing I noticed was the last order timing. Before I queued, I asked a waiter and was told the last call for everyone was 8:30pm, no matter what time you were seated. But I also saw people being seated around 8:30pm, and I wasn’t sure if they were still allowed to order after. Just something for future customers to be aware of. It’s best to double-check with the staff on the day.

Also, while the deal is advertised as including a drink, none of the tables (including ours) received one. On top of that, the £14 doesn’t include service charge.

Other notes: I waited over 30 minutes for a table, which is expected since it’s only once a month and the café is small. But I also noticed quite a few arguments between staff and customers due to miscommunication while I was there, which shows the system still needs some fine-tuning.

Overall: The food is fantastic and the concept is fun, but the “unlimited” system and organisation definitely need adjusting. If the rules were clearer and service smoother, this could easily be a great experience.

We stopped for the unlimited French toast and the French toast was definitely worth it. It was fluffy, rich, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. The toppings were sweet and thoughtful, and the presentation was Instagram-worthy. The portion size was decent without being overwhelming, which I appreciated.

We decided to try the Lotus Biscoff, the Bueno chocolate, the Maple syrup, and the salted caramel. In my opinion the Bueno chocolate French toast, was the best one, the flavours were amazing, not too sweet or sickening just the right balance. The Lotus Biscoff French toast was also good, I don’t have anything negative to say about it.

The Maple syrup French toast was alright however they doused the French toast in the Maple syrup so much that the French toast was soggy. It tasted good but they could have gone easy on the Maple syrup. The salted caramel was horrible, it was extremely salty and burnt the back of your throat. I don’t recommend it.

The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was friendly. The restaurant was really aesthetically pleasing, I loved the details and colour scheme. Though it did take a little longer than expected for our food to come out. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the restaurant but at least I got photos of the French toast.

They start your 60 minutes from when they place your order on the system so you don’t really get the full 60 minutes because they take long to bring the food out and come to come back and take your next order. Overall, it’s an enjoyable brunch spot, if you’re a French toast lover, this place is worth a visit. Every months first Thursday they have bottomless French toast for 60 minutes.

We visited this dessert place today. The dessert was really nice and the staff member(David )was very friendly ☺️ However, the coffee was quite a disappointment… It cost £7.50 but looked nothing like the presentation in the pictures. Honestly, it was worth no more than £4. I’d go back for the dessert, but definitely not for the coffee.

Day out in London , trying out “Tiktok places” for desserts, me and my friend chose Crome after looking at some amazing reviews and photos. She absolutely loved it but I not so much. I had these crepes filled up with Kadayif and it really didn’t impress me. I struggled to finish it as it just tasted like wooden bits (to me). I definitely didn’t really know what I was in for, such a shame as the place is lovely. The ice-cream was really nice and the service quick. Might come again and try something different next time.

I recently visited Crome in London and really enjoyed the experience. The shop has a warm and modern feel, making it a nice spot to relax. Their menu focuses on coffee and desserts, and both were well presented and full of flavor. The coffee was smooth and well balanced, and the dessert I tried was fresh and not overly sweet. Service was friendly and attentive without being rushed. Prices are a little higher than average, but the quality and atmosphere make it worth it. Overall, Crome is a great place if you’re looking for a cozy café experience with a focus on indulgent treats.

All meats served are halal. No pork or alcohol present.

The Ninth

Had the set lunch which was excellent value for money.

Ingredients were fresh and the food was perfectly presented. I enjoyed the crab pasta starter. But there was nothing about the food that stood out. Even the recommended potato side dish was pleasant but not something I'd dream about. It was overall a very pleasant and above average experience but forgettable.

Lovely dinner, food was delicious.
Scallops were fresh and delicate. Both the beef cheek & tongue, and the Iberico pork pluma were exceptionally tender and flavourful.
We ordered two of their pastas - the squid ink malloreddus and truffle conchiglie. Both were lovely, even my husband who doesn’t eat much pasta loved them a lot.

Both desserts we had were nice but their signature Pain Perdu is a must, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Waitress was very friendly and informative, we were not in a rush but noticed the service was a tad slow though. Can’t comment on the wine pairings as we didn’t order this.

For a Michelin star restaurant, the attention to detail left a lot to be desired. The food was meant to be shared, but the table for 4 was not level. The restaurant staff seemed very overworked, when they did find the time to attend to us, they were very sweet. We had the tasting menu and the food was mostly excellent. We had requested some customisation to the tasting menu, it was gracefully accommodated, but we were charged extra in the bill. The charge was promptly reversed when we pointed it out.
Overall, enjoyable food, but certainly not worth a repeat visit, especially given the prices.

Visited last week for the early dinner set menu. Excellent value for money: a three course michelin starred dinner for £38 per person. There were two of us eating so we tried all the meat options (vegetarian options available, but we didn't try those)

The whole meal was lovely, but there was a few dishes in particular which were amazing. The cured trout starter tasted very fresh, with a simple yet delicious flavour, topped with roe. The pork tenderloin was cooked excellently, texture was almost like a filet mignon, but with the rich flavours of pork. Pain perdu with tonka bean dessert was a lovely end to the meal, not too sweet, just how I like it. The other dishes were also excellent.

Overall a great restaurant, well deserving of its michelin star. I'll definitely have to come again to try the à la carte menu.

Absolutely loved The Ninth’s set menu, such great value for a Michelin-starred spot. Serving French-Mediterranean style dishes, every dish was delicious and beautifully crafted. The service was warm, the atmosphere is relaxed and romantic, perfect place to celebrate my birthday. Had an amazing dining experience there!! Highly recommended.

Bagatelle London

I went to Bagatelle London for my friend’s birthday, and it was honestly such an amazing experience. I’ve been to Bagatelle Miami before and loved it, but this location somehow topped it — I think I actually loved it even more.
The atmosphere is upscale and electric — from the moment we walked in, the energy was high, the music was bumping, and the space was filled with beautiful people, dressed to impress. It’s definitely high-end, but in the most fun and fabulous way.
The drinks were phenomenal, and the staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. They made sure everyone at our table got a drink and a shot, and they even helped pass around the food so that everyone got to try something. That kind of attention to detail made the night feel extra special.
If you’re looking for luxury party vibes, great cocktails, and a glamorous crowd, Bagatelle London absolutely delivers. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or just a wild, bougie night out.
Can’t wait to go back!

great place to dine with friends. lovely atmosphere. the staff are friendly and knowledgeable  with their recommendations. you can literally go there and ask the staff what they would recommend and not even have to look at the menu.
Nadim was very helpful and made sure we were taken care of, and even helped us with the birthday surprise. we also had to suddenly leave quickly toward the end of the dinner and they were efficient in helping us settle quickly.
to each their own on whether it is expensive or not; we spent roughly £1400 for 4 people

Had a great birthday here thanks to Jonathan and his excellent service. It was ensured that we had a fun time by the team and the atmosphere is definitely something to experience.  The food was also great and had no complaints about the quality or taste. Only taking one star off as one waiter had a rather unprofessional attitude towards us.

I went to bagatelle for my birthday a few weeks ago and after reading some of the reviews I was worried but I honestly can’t fault this place. The food was amazing and as a gluten free girl there was so many options and even my complimentary bread was gf and was probs the best bread I’ve ever had since being gf. Our server Elsa was brilliant we all loved her and she couldn’t do enough for us and even got us up dancing to make our night as that was the part I was looking forward to the most. And speaking of the vibes this place is brilliant and we went on a Thursday which I did think we might not get the same experience but we so did. Thanks for a great night bagatelle!

The best dinner party experience in London - this niche is firmly dominated by Bagatelle around the world.

I’ll be honest, after reading a line of negative reviews I was a bit cautious, but after visiting last weekend, I want to firmly state - please ignore those! Last Saturday night was the funniest night I had in London. The atmosphere is unmatched - with the best music, fun crowd and staff who work relentlessly to provide customers with the best experience.

I want to underscore how great the service was - the guys are so friendly, polite and hardworking and you can feel them trying really hard to please the guests (I mean the guy literally came up 3 times to fix my napkin that I kept messing up). Same about security - very friendly and polite people, but yeah surprise they have a dress code.

As to the food, it’s quite good and for the price compatible with any other place in the area, but what really sets this place apart is the whole experience.

Our beef and lamb is Halal. Please specify your dietary requirements when making a booking.

Clos Maggiore

An Unforgettable Experience at Clos Maggiore

From the moment I stepped into Clos Maggiore, I was transported into a warm, elegant atmosphere that felt both romantic and welcoming. What truly made the evening exceptional, however, was the outstanding service.

Dennis, our waiter, was absolutely phenomenal — incredibly knowledgeable about every dish on the menu. His explanations were detailed, insightful, and even fun, which added a whole new dimension to the meal. He clearly has a real passion for what he does, and it shows.

Valerie also made us feel so welcome from the start. Her warmth and attentiveness added a lovely personal touch to the entire experience.

The food itself was exquisite, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every course was a delight.

Clos Maggiore isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. A perfect blend of fine dining, top-tier service, and charming atmosphere. Can’t wait to return!

We had the set menu pre theatre menu and it was out of this world and excellent value for money. The interiors, and service was impeccable and the ambience was lovely. Most diners were doing the set menu at the time and we felt very relaxed and not rushed. Between the three of us I think we had one of everything off the menu and it was all divine - you won’t be disappointed

I went there yesterday with my friend for our birthday and we were both incredibly impressed. The staff make us feel so welcome - polite and friendly. The service was exceptionally good; our server was so kind he gave us two more dessert plates for our birthday and even gave us two chocolate boxes as gifts. We feel so satisfied and happy.

We celebrated a mix of birthdays and new jobs at Clos Maggiore, and it was absolutely perfect. The restaurant has a beautiful, romantic atmosphere, with the stunning floral décor making it feel really special for an occasion. The service was attentive and professional without being intrusive, and the food was excellent – every dish beautifully presented and full of flavour. It made for a memorable evening and felt like a real treat. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to celebrate something special in London.

We had a lovely dinner. The restaurant looked amazing with flowers beautifully decorating the entire ceiling. We enjoyed a three course meal each dish was delicately flavored and perfectly balanced. The service was attentive and efficient. The lunch set offers great value for money. I would definitely come back again.

Chicken can be preordered when booking. Pork and alcohol served.

Galvin La Chapelle

I came here for dinner by myself.

Overall, this place has a Bailie, unique and magical ambience. The interior of an old chapel is one of the more unique and charming Settings for a restaurant that I have ever seen.

I will say that my expectations were very high, as a place has Michelin  star. Overall, the Service was very good, but not extraordinary. The food was excellent, but again – I was not as impressed with the food as I would have expected – I feel the food that I got at sketch. Two nights ago was much more, outstanding, and culinary. Perfect and unique.

Overall, I would be unlikely to return at the Price point, but it is a quality restaurant, and I do feel that it is deserving of it status.

Loved my experience here for a romantic date. The place itself is truly a vibe, I was mesmerised by the sheer size of the architecture. Our server was amazing and so attentive. We went for the tasting menu and it was so decadent and perde for the start of autumn. We loved everything but the desserts, they weren’t particularly outstanding.

We had a birthday Sunday lunch here. The appetizer was exceptional, and we especially enjoyed the seabass. The sourdough with lemon and pepper butter was also delicious.

However, the main dishes were just fair. They were tasty, but we expected more from a Michelin restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised when the restaurant offered us a birthday dessert. Lovely!

I can only recommend it. Went there for lunch and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The food was amazing (I should add that they will give you free bread and butter which are delicious) , the service outstanding. Worth every penny Will definitely go again.

We had dinner at Galvin La Chapelle and it was excellent. For a Michelin Star, the price for the summer special was very affordable. The dishes were all excellent. If you are starving, it might not have been quite enough food but it was all very tasty for a great price.

The service was also excellent here - warm and inviting.

Halal chicken can be preordered. Pork and alcohol present.

@halalfoodbae's review of NAC Mayfair on Instagram

Been a regular since they opened probably around a decade ago. Their food is wonderful (the mac & cheese and truffle burger are to die for), service usually very good and and the cocktails are fantastic. They have recently added a gem to their team named Mo who is absolutely incredible. Will keep coming back for the food and for Mo.

The popcorn chicken was a bit tough — it was hard to pierce with a fork and could be more tender. The burrata salad was nice and classic, and the signature cookies were also quite good. There’s no reservation for the outdoor area; you need to come in person and put your name on the waiting list, and they’ll seat you outside once it’s your turn. The interior becomes dimly lit in the evening, and the service is fast, attentive, and friendly — everyone is very polite.

However, even though it’s mentioned politely a few times, having a strict 1.5-hour dining limit feels unreasonable from a customer’s perspective. It might make sense for the business, but it’s frustrating for guests. We had starters, mains, dessert, and a bottle of wine, yet still felt rushed when the bill arrived. For guests who want to relax and enjoy themselves, it feels unreasonable to be treated as if they only came for a quick dessert and tea., this approach doesn’t feel right. Personally, I wouldn’t come here again for a long, relaxed dinner — but it’s a nice place for a quick visit.

Yesterday my friend and i visited NAC for the FIRST TIME and wow we loved every second of it! Will the host was so welcoming and gave us great recommendations, and the waiter that served us Abdulai B was so kind, hospitable, and helpful so thank youuu for a wonderful experience! The food was picture perfect and tasted even better than it looks 😍😍 we left so full and so happy! would defff come back for that dessert alone!!

Delicious food!!! The waiters (south Asian guy) was amazing, his service was 10/10 and recommended the best dishes to us!!! Would deffo reccomend and will definetly be back!!! (Chicken popcorn starters were incredible and the viral cookie dough was insane)

Dog-friendly! Food is amazing! Would definitely come back. Best to book beforehand. Very friendly and welcoming staff! It’s always busy but the service is always great!

Our chicken is Halal. We cook and prepare it separately to other non-Halal meats. Alcohol served.

Some places need not require a review, they should merely be enjoyed for what they are and that is what the Ritz Afternoon Tea experience is 💕
You get to indulge in some lovely sandwiches, scones and desserts with one of their gorgeous selection of teas in a beautiful, elegant setting. This is an Afternoon Tea that we would recommend to everyone to experience with those they love! It is the perfect place for a Valentines or an Anniversary Date!
Nevertheless, we shan’t dissappoint and bring you a review! 😊
Food: We ordered the Royal English Tea and the Chai (served with milk) which were both good choices. To accompany we were given a selection of sandwiches including Egg and Cress, Cheese Ploughman, Chicken, Cucumber and Dill, and Salmon and Creme Fraiche. These were all really good but some of the breads used were a little dry. The desserts were amazing and exceptionally crafted (especially the Lemon Macaroon!) Overall the food was good, the service was more like it is at a high end restaurant since it was quite busy and the settings just blew us away 👌🏽
Settings: 10/10
Food: 8/10
Service: 8/10
Overall: 8.6/10

If you’re looking for a stunning and very British afternoon tea in a classic London hotel, look no further than @theritzlondon 😍🇬🇧 It was my second time here for this regal experience and I can’t fault it. I 100% recommend for a special occasion with loved ones 🥰☕️ 

There is halal chicken available & gelatine-free desserts can be provided for a halal diet. The food was fantastic, the service was fantastic and I just loved the whole evening to be honest❣️

@halalfoodbae's review of The Ritz London on Instagram

The Ritz London

We recently visited for afternoon tea as a birthday and retirement treat from our best friends, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we entered, the hotel’s luxurious decor and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a truly special experience. The staff were professional, attentive, and went out of their way to make us feel celebrated.

The afternoon tea itself was exceptional. There was a wide selection of teas, perfectly made sandwiches, and delicate pastries that practically melted in the mouth. The warm scones were just the right size — filling but not overwhelming — and the cake trolley offered a tempting array of treats, including light ginger and classic Victoria sponge cakes.

Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, making the occasion feel truly memorable. The combination of stunning presentation, high-quality food, and impeccable service created an experience we will always treasure. A heartfelt thank you for making the day so special!

We came recently for the afternoon tea as a birthday and retirement gift from our best friends. What an absolutely wonderful treat this was! As you walk into the hotel the atmosphere was friendly, decor was to another level of luxury. The staff were very professional, nothing was too much trouble and made a real fuss of us. The afternoon tea was out of this world! Firstly an extensive choice of tea. Excellent choice of sandwiches, small delicate pastries that melted in your mouth, lovely warm scones that although very filling were nice and petite followed by the cake trolly of light ginger or Victoria sandwich cake.
It was such a special occasion and an experience I will always cherish - thank you

My wife and I had lunch here for the second time and just like last year everything was to perfection.
We had a couple of drinks each at the magnificent Rivoli Bar and then headed for our 3 course lunch.
We both had different starters, mains and desserts and they were fabulous.
The dining room is just the most beautiful room to eat in, the ambience is incredible and we were looked after by Emilio, Victor, Koula and Enzo as if we were Royalty.
We hope to return in another years time, in the meantime, keep safe all and keep up the exceptional work you all do, making it look so effortless when I know it just cannot be. Many thanks for a wonderful afternoon, Andy and Sara Ford

The Ritz London – Afternoon Tea Experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband, family, and I enjoyed the traditional Afternoon Tea at The Ritz London, and it was truly a royal experience. From the moment we entered, the elegant setting and attentive staff made us feel immersed in London’s high culture and tradition.

The variety of teas was impressive, with each blend presented beautifully. The service was exclusive and engaging over the full two-hour experience. The interiors were stunning, reflecting timeless luxury, and even the powder room was maintained with elegance.

Overall, this is not just tea—it’s an unforgettable cultural experience with a royal touch. Highly recommended for anyone visiting London who wants to enjoy the finest high tea tradition.

Unfortunately I got sick during my stay. My holiday in London ruined.  However, the staff at the Ritz took impeccable care of me.  I felt so safe and cared for.  I will never forget their kindness towards me.  You will never in your life receive the level of service you get from this hotel. I have travelled my entire life and the Ritz go above and beyond.  Beautiful room and the High Tea amazing.

All the lamb that we serve in The Ritz hotel is Halal certified, but it is not prepared in a Halal environment. If a guest requests Halal chicken, we are able to accommodate this request but it is not prepared in a Halal environment. We are fully transparent to all guests that due to the nature and size of the hotel’s kitchen we do not have a separate area where only Halal meat is prepared.

Francatelli, situated in the prestigious St. James's Hotel & Club in Mayfair, offers a dining experience steeped in history and elegance. The concept is inspired by the recipes of Charles Elmé Francatelli, Queen Victoria's former chef, presenting traditional British cuisine with a contemporary touch.

Under the skilled leadership of Michelin-starred chef William Drabble, Francatelli brings historical recipes to life using the finest seasonal ingredients. The menu reflects the chef's dedication to honoring British culinary traditions while delivering a refined, modern edge.

My evening at Francatelli was nothing short of remarkable. The dishes, rooted in tradition yet elevated with precision, were expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The attentive service further enhanced the experience, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and care.

To top it all off, the excellent price-to-quality ratio made this indulgent evening an incredible value—a rare find in the heart of Mayfair.

Francatelli is a culinary treasure that celebrates Britain's rich gastronomic history with grace and flair. A must-visit for those who appreciate exceptional food and impeccable service.

Soup and both desserts were outstanding. All around excellent. Portion for meats were reasonable, but ideally could have been larger. I would also recommend the 15% service to be made known in the menu

Honestly one of my most favourite Michelin restaurants in London. It is very discrete in a quiet location. The food is executed so well. It is no fuss, just focused on bringing out the best of the ingredients. Continues to be great. Perfect for a special occasion.  Also I have so many dietary restrictions that they took it all into consideration. Was brilliant!

I don't give 5 stars, but this place deserves every single one. We were sat at the bar, a nice setting and atmosphere,  before our meal and had a great cocktail, very smooth and tasty. Once sat at our table we have picked the wine pairing with the 7 course meniu, the food was delicious and perfectly explained as well as the wine pairing that complemented the food. The service was absolutely excellent and without a fault, we have expressed our gratitude for a very well job done, would not believe the staff has only 3 weeks there. All of this over a 3h45min experience in a very nice and cosy environment. Highly recommend, it is worth every penny.

Visited here for lunch using a gift voucher hoping for the same standards of service you would expect from a 1* Michelin restaurant. On arrival we were pointed to a table, offered water and then left for a good amount of time. Eventually our waiter arrived and asked to confirm the voucher details linked to our booking. Afterward he produced a little card with a set course menu for us to choose from. We made our selection and he asked if we wanted any wine, to which we said no but we were not offered any alternative such as soft drinks/juices etc. The first dish was a pre-starter gazpacho which was great. However, as I was still eating, my partners bowl was taken and she was also told "Let me take this as your starter is now ready". I carried on eating and had pieces of cutlery being laid around me for the upcoming course which was a bit uncomfortable. Despite this the starter was as enjoyable as the gazpacho, as was the main/dessert. But the pace of delivery was just all over the shop. I don't know if this was because we were deemed less important for being a voucher paying guest or if the service in general just isn't that good. Nevertheless, we wanted to add a tip (as this wasn't included on our bill) but this wasn't acknowledged sadly. As a whole, despite feeling the food was certainly enjoyable - the overall experience would be easily forgotten.

We cater for Halal, but only with a 72-hour notice window as we would need to purchase Halal meat in advance. We do not have a separate kitchen, fridges or pieces of equipment to cater for Halal preparations, and thus, cannot guarantee cross-contamination.

Seven Park Place

Sensational, Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of London

The Lanesborough Grill

5 star service. A lovely dinner experience in a warm, relaxing down to earth atmosphere. Impressive blue/white Wedgwood decorations in the restaurant. Formally known as Celeste. Now English cuisine instead of French Cuisine. Very good quality.
We love to come back for a fifth time experience.

I celebrated my birthday at The Lanesborough Grill and had a truly wonderful experience. The food was exceptional – every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The restaurant’s decor is elegant and luxurious, making it a perfect place for a special occasion.

The service was outstanding from start to finish. All the staff were professional, attentive, and warm. I’d like to especially thank Mike, who stood out with his friendliness and genuine service mind – he made our evening even more memorable.

We will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!

I took my son for his 17th Birthday lunch celebration so it was perfect. The hotel is stunning, beautifully decorated, well staffed yet relaxed. The restaurant is fit for Bridgerton. All staff are so professional, attentive and friendly. We arrived a little bit early and they were happy to accommodate us.

Our 3-course meals were absolutely amazing, so pleasing for eyes and taste buds. Brilliant set and offer.

This was the first time I went back since it has changed from the Celeste. Loved it then and love it now. We cannot wait to go back again.

Absolutely gorgeous experience!
We celebrated our anniversary here and everything was just perfect—the food, the jazz, the ambiance, and especially the people. From the moment we arrived, Dalila gave us such a warm welcome that we instantly felt relaxed and knew it was going to be a great night. There was also an amazing Brazilian gentleman (unfortunately I forgot his name) who took such wonderful care of us throughout the evening. He really made our night special. I’ll definitely be back soon with my mom to try their afternoon tea

The Americano was tasty but not worth £9, the tuna tartar was nice, the bread was very oily and hard to eat, the beef Wellington was very crumbly and separated easily so Bob Bob Richard was much better, the dessert tart was not bad, the birthday mousse was good, the servant Daniel was friendly. I’d say it’s more like coming for service not food, I prefer the afternoon tea here so will only come back for that.

All our products in our main kitchen (different kitchen from Celeste restaurant) are Halal, therefore there is no worry of cross-contamination. In our Celeste kitchen, at the moment we do not have any Halal offering. This is because we have approached game season (which we have in our menu). When Celeste does offer Halal options, then there is no cross-contamination. All our non-Halal products are stored separate from the Halal ones.

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

\\ A Singaporean Girl Review

A little short of perfection. Food was absolutely perfect. Service and atmosphere could be better.

So I was in the UK for about 2+ weeks and greedily packed two 3-star Michelin restaurants in one day. I am writing this review after going to both restaurants and Alain Ducasse would rank 2nd to the other restaurant based on my personal experience. Small things that I thought Alain Ducasse staff could pay a bit more attention to:

1. Glassware. My wine glass has a chip. On the rim. Personally, I wasn't expecting this from a 3-star Michelin restaurant. I informed the staff, he apologised and changed the glass.

2. Attention to detail. One of us had stained a blotch during dinner, but it was just left as it was. The wait staff from the other restaurant had helped cover the table with a slip cloth, giving me a sense of professionalism and neatness. On top of that, our tables weren't cleaned with a table crumber between courses, except once. Not sure why the difference.

3. Atmosphere. Love the interior decoration. One word. Classy. But the frosted glass windows made us somewhat aware of the petrol cars during the meal, which were quite frequent.

Otherwise, the food was really, Really, REALLY good. I need to emphasise this. The moment you put the first Hors D'oeuvres dish in your mouth, you knew the chef had years of experience with blood, sweat and time put in to be this good. It was balanced to perfection. Speechless. I would describe it as... "no plastic surgery, just really, Really, REALLY good original French cuisine".

Despite the 3 pointers raised, I would still come back for more. They are often booked out, so reservations are highly recommended. Chef was really stressed as we could hear his shouting from where we were seating. But hey, it was full house, and the food... yums. Looking forward to my next visit.

With its irreproachable service in a refined setting, Alain Ducasse delivers a memorable dining experience. The dishes are executed to perfection and the authentic traditional savors are almost soothing for nostalgic French cuisine patrons.  The pigeon carved table side seemed like a gimmick until the servers arrived with ours and lifted the pot’s cover to release all the wonderful smells inside.  My only suggestion (speaking of gimmick) would be to implement  a “chariot de fromages”! The cheese plate we were served included Comté, Roquefort and Brie de Meaux which were fine but honestly felt a little underwhelming.  A cheese cart could have included various chèvre options, Époisses, brillat savarin and many other options to showcase the glorious diversity of French cheeses.

What an amazing experience! Definitely recommend for a special dinner!
Three choices between 3-course a la carte, 5-course Passion, or the 7-course Harmonie. We enjoyed the Passion and the Harmonie with wine that was superbly paired for the menu. Service was amazing and attentive from entry to exit and every step between.

Dining at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester was a truly exceptional experience—one that will stay with me for a long time. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable, warm, and perfectly attentive without being overbearing.

What truly impressed me was the incredible attention to detail. We chose a wine pairing for our meal, and to our delight, we were presented with a personalized menu listing each course alongside the wines selected—an elegant and thoughtful touch that elevated the experience even further.

As it was my birthday, the team went out of their way to make it feel extra special. From a beautifully presented dessert surprise to the discreet and graceful acknowledgment of the occasion, every detail was handled with such care and sophistication.

The food itself was outstanding—each dish a masterpiece, full of refined flavors, creativity, and balance. The combination of seasonal ingredients, exquisite presentation, and flawless technique made for an unforgettable culinary journey.

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester is a true gem in London’s fine dining scene. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in world-class cuisine, this is a destination that delivers in every possible way. Highly recommended.

Absolute culinary experience!! Everything was impeccable but my highlight was the newly added dessert which is the Golden apple! They first dehydrated the apple then rehydrated it again as part of the cooking process to give a unique texture to it and I've never tasted anything like that before !!

The restaurant is fully compliant with Halal guidelines. Halal beef is sourced from a reputable and approved supplier. It is delivered in sealed packaging to prevent any risk of cross-contamination and is labelled to ensure full identification and traceability. The meat is stored in sealed packaging so that there is no risk of contact with non-Halal products. Dedicated Halal preparation boards and knives are used at all times.
