10 Best restaurants for French in London

Branché London

This is, without a doubt, the best place to get a meal on the high street. Me and my daughter were feeling quite hungry so I suggested we come here. She ordered fries, mozzarella sticks and a smoothie and I ordered a simple hot chocolate. And when we were finished my daughter said that they were some of the best mozzarella sticks she’s had in her life. We totally recommend coming here. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Lovely ambience, modern decor. The food was decent, we had the smashed avocado poached egg croissant 4/10. Smash burger and chips 8/10. Dubai chocolate French toast 7/10
Crème brûlée French toast 7/10. Pistachio tiramisu French toast 8/10.

It was extremely busy when we visited, however the food came within 20min. Staff were polite.

We spent little under £70 that is without any hot or cold drinks, a treat once in a while for that kind of price for 2 children and 2 adults.

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!

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.

Food was good value for money. Service was ok. But Coffee was bad. I ordered a cortado they sent it in a latte glass and the coffee was bitter. That means the the grinder wasn’t calibrated.

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

Mr. White’s English Chophouse London Whitechapel

it's a nice and friendly steak and chop house in Aldgate a 20mins walk from Bank. We live nearby and had an eye on the place for a while so decided to try it. I have to say we were both pleasantly surprised. We came for a late Sunday lunch. The place wasnt busy so we had a pic of the best tables ;) The service was friendly and prompt. The food was excellent! It was all perfect from the french onion soup to the beef and lamb roast with all the trimmings. The proportions are on the bigger side for what I 'm expecting from a roast, and very well made and well presented. All the meat is halal too, which give the area it has to be. Food was all just impeccable. I cannot fault the place. The only unconventional thing is that the entrance to the restaurant is through the New Road Hotel lobby and past reception given that it's the restaurant in the hotel but I quite like that as its different from other places in the area. I have already suggested it to friends.

I had a wonderful experience at Mr. White’s English Chophouse, London Whitechapel. The restaurant has a clean, tidy, and welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for families. We visited with children, and our waitress was super friendly and went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable — truly great service.

I started with the whitebait, which was cooked perfectly, followed by the Sunday roast dinner. The food was excellent throughout, and it’s fantastic to know that everything is halal, which is hugely appreciated.

The restaurant also has disabled access, making it accessible for everyone. While parking in the area can be a little tricky, it’s noticeably easier to find a space on weekends.

Overall, a great dining experience with delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming environment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality meal in the Whitechapel area.

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.

You must give this place a try. You will be surprised by this hidden gem that you never knew existed there.
I love how every meal is crafted carefully, that’s what makes this place more special than other steakhouses. The food doesn't taste “banal”!
My favourite is salads. Beetroot with goat cheese, blue cheese and pear compote salad. They are just magical, already making me feel happy without steaks really 🫢
But then when the steak kicks in - it is just the happiest person you will become.
I love their fillet steak with mushrooms! I also tried sirloin and it was brilliant as well.
For the prices they ask for, this place tastes very similar to fine restaurants that would cost double the price.

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.

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

Jean-Georges at The Connaught is a refined yet surprisingly relaxed dining room — elegant without the stiffness you sometimes find in Mayfair. The large windows overlooking Mount Street give the space a beautiful energy during the day, especially at lunch.

The menu blends French technique with Asian influences; try the crispy salmon sushi or the black truffle pizza if you want something playful but perfectly executed. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors balanced, and presentation thoughtful without being overdesigned.

Service is polished and professional, though at times a bit distant — efficient rather than warm. It’s worth mentioning that the atmosphere can get quite lively in the evening, so for a calmer experience, a weekday lunch or early dinner is ideal.

Tip: ask for a table by the window if available, and don’t skip dessert — the warm chocolate cake is one of the best in London. Jean-Georges is where you go not just to eat well, but to feel quietly indulged.

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.

We came for the Afternoon Tea Experience, and from the very beginning, the staff were incredibly welcoming. During the service, we had the pleasure of being served by Fernando and Carolina — two wonderful Italian hosts who were not only very knowledgeable about the tea selection, but also explained the entire experience beautifully. They suggested the teas most suited to our tastes and even recommended some great activities to explore in the area.
A very special thanks to Kate, she was also extremely accommodating and took the time to share some thoughtful suggestions, which we truly appreciated.
The food was fantastic and perfectly paired with the teas, thanks to the team’s guidance — and the pastries were probably the best I’ve ever had in my life.
The only thing that could be improved is the ambience: there was no background music in the lobby and could hardly been heard during the experience itself, which would have made the atmosphere even more comfortable and relaxing.

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.

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.

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.

Edit: They asked me to email but they didn't even reply. It's just automated reply, I don't think they even bother to do anything 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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 very unremarkable, not something I'd dream about. It was overall a very pleasant and above average experience but forgettable.

Good service, food in general is nice but we were disappointed overall.

The crab and seaweed tartlet was a let down. Very small and over cooked at 3.80 each. Expected to have fresh crab meat at least.

Second let down was the Dover sole and rainbow chard. Looked nice but the dish was so overcooked the fish was dry and like eating cardboard. Could not finish it - we did feedback to let the chef know. It was probably the worst piece of cooked fish we have had in a while. Definitely not worthy of a Michelin star, sorry to say. The Roe deer was cooked perfectly and was very nice.

Yellowtail was nice and fresh. Also enjoyed the beef cheek and tongue.

Dessert was decent and have to say the service was good. They also did not charge us for the dessert due to the issue with the fish dish

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.

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.

Accessible fine dining that won't empty your wallet. It's not as polished as some Michelin-starred London venues, but the food genuinely delivers. We ordered the Venison Ragu, Burrata, Confit Duck Leg, and finished with Choux Au Craquelin - everything was excellent and worth ordering.

We booked the early dinner offer for two or three courses, which is remarkable value. However, the limited time slot makes it feel rushed. Staff don't pressure you, but knowing everyone arrived for the same time-limited offer and will leave simultaneously creates an unspoken urgency.

Despite the time constraints, it's a fantastic option for quality food in a proper dining setting.

Bagatelle London

5/5 for the atmosphere. The rest is amicable and that’s being polite ! Food is poor, service even worse complete with hefty price tags ££££.

We ordered the small caviar which was £390. Roast Chicken £115. Octopus £60-80. and some other small bits including Burrata etc.

The chicken arrived more so like a Poussin, a tiny bird, and the waiter dropped half of it on the floor when cutting it at table side! We hadn’t realised it had been dropped at first, we had to ask three times why one of the breasts was put to the side on the back of the tray, the waiter was keen to try to dismiss it and walk away - leaving us with half a tiny bird and some bones for £115. Shocking.

We did eventually send it back, and the manager offered a bottle of wine as an alternative to the chicken dish, but there was no form of apology, and considering we’d ordered sides to go with it, including potatoes and vegetables etc. They went uneaten so not ideal.

Overall, very very expensive night out for basic food and poor service - but the vibes are 10/10 and music was spot on. Always a great night at Bagatelle, this being my second/third time.

But the waiting staff need to up their game to warrant the prices! Food needs major improvement also. Staff on the door are very rude and the front of house also.

Shame.

Hands down one of my favourite restaurants in london!! The food is simply just amazing worth every single penny. The staff were so nice and helpful

We wanted to share a genuinely positive experience we had at Bagatelle Mayfair thanks to the incredible female security, Nelly.

One of our friends became unwell during the evening, and from that moment on, Nelly handled the situation with exceptional professionalism, care, and compassion. She spoke to our friend calmly and kindly, reassured her, and made sure she was properly looked after at all times.

As our friend was no longer allowed back inside due to having had too much alcohol, Nelly stayed with her upstairs outside, ensuring she was safe and comfortable. She provided her with a bottle of water to help her sober up while we arranged a taxi home, constantly checking in and offering reassurance. Her caring nature truly went above and beyond what we expected.

When the taxi arrived, Nelly made sure our friend was seated comfortably, spoke directly to the driver, reassured them that our friend was okay, and ensured she left safely. Every member of staff we encountered was kind and comforting, but Nelly truly stood out — she went out of her way to make a difficult moment feel calm, safe, and handled with dignity.

Overall, the experience was really lovely despite the circumstances. Nelly was not only professional but also sweet, reassuring, and even managed to bring warmth and lightness to the situation. Having a strong, caring female security presence at such a popular Mayfair venue made us feel extremely safe and comfortable as women.

We are genuinely very grateful to Nelly and commend Bagatelle for having such an outstanding member of their security team

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!

Worst value for money night out I’ve ever had.

A group of us attended the Midnight Mass on a Sunday, and the experience was genuinely shocking from start to finish. The food alone was an embarrassment: we were served roughly four thin slices of very average steak per person, not even a full steak each. Starters were just as bad: four small plates shared between eight people.

The seating made things worse. We were crammed onto a small round table, so tight that the waiting staff couldn’t even reach us. We had to pass plates and cutlery ourselves, which is unacceptable given the price point.

The music during the “meal” was good, but after the meal was equally disappointing. It jumped randomly between genres and felt more like a cheap wedding DJ than anything resembling a curated “party” atmosphere.

I’m not shy about spending money on a good experience, but what we received for what we paid was outrageous. Bang average food, poor portions, chaotic music, and cramped seating.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I genuinely woke up the next morning still annoyed and felt obliged to write this. The organisation seriously needs to reassess how group bookings are handled and rethink the overall structure, because in its current form, the experience is appalling.

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

Winner of London's most romantic French-inspired restaurant

Clos Maggiore

Some fine dining places chase (Michelin) stars, this one puts them on the ceiling and walls! Their social media team work very hard to make sure you know about the decorations inside and these are as bountiful as the videos would suggest, but then this isn't a museum, it is a restaurant. And so we come to the food... I went on a Saturday and had the tasting menu and wine pairing. Both were lovely and well executed. Yet both felt like not enough thought had gone into them. Perhaps a little less time erecting a life sized polar bear(!), and a bit more time refining a more complicated menu would have been better in my opinion. Having said that, this will be a perfectly good tasting menu for most, and the price is very good. We all had a very enjoyable evening with a special mention to the very warm staff. All I would add is that it would benefit from a bar area for us to enjoy some drinks. We were ushered from the table after 2 hours and then placed in a very small and unwelcoming area which meant we preferred to go somewhere else afterwards. But when the restaurant looks this good, we would have happily stayed for more drinks!

I was so amazed with the christmas ambiance. While making my reservation I asked them to be seated near the fireplace if possible. They were so kind to give us a table right in front of the fireplace. We waited a bit more but it worths it. The service was excellent. The scallop and the crab cake was so good. We ordered baked beef for the main. It was for 2 people and huge. We liked it. A very good experience

Me and my husband celebrated our wedding anniversary here at clos. We got the 3 course menu - highly recommend seabass with yuzu as starter and short rib beef as the main. Panacotta was also lovely. Overall it was a value for money. Service was brillant. Perfect dining spot for special occasions

The restaurant is fancy, well designed and looks stunning both inside and out. The staff and service were excellent.
However, the food itself was very average, and the prices felt too high considering the portion size and overall flavor.
They did surprise us with a birthday cake, which was a lovely gesture, but at the end of the day, the food is what matters and it simply didn’t stand out.

Went with my girlfriend and her parents and had a truly amazing experience. The food was outstanding, which, matched with good service, wine, and drinks made the night unforgettable.

I had the scallop and the venison which were both very good.

We all had a very nice time and the atmosphere was truly outstanding too: the Christmas decoration made everything warmer. Would absolutely recommend also for romantic dates!

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

Velvety crab lasagne, truffle tagliatelle, roasted cod, and souffles

Galvin La Chapelle

We were given an amazing gift experience at Galvin La Chapelle for a three-course set menu with a glass of sparkling wine, and it was truly wonderful. We went for my birthday, and it made the day feel so special.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and genuinely kind from the moment we arrived. Every member of the team was exceptional. Dom and Matt were so attentive, the maître d’ was wonderfully warm, and the lady who served us dessert was absolutely lovely.

The whole meal was delightful, and we felt so well looked after throughout.
We’ll definitely be coming back.

Wonderful dinner experience with a 3-course meal. Even the only kids menu- Chicken breast with potatoes and mushrooms - was amazingly tender and delicious (comment from my little one).
The side dish - potato (foam and crushed) with winter truffle, was a brilliant combination, even better than the main. I mean, who could ever thought of making . potato so interesting?
Loved the dessert as well.
Highly recommend.

A phenomenal treat. The food, atmosphere and service are always impeccable here. It’s worth signing up to Galvin Club if you enjoy fine dining as they often have set menus at very affordable prices.

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.

Mind the steps as you enter - the venue is beautiful and food well presented, but expected a bit more for 1 Michelin star.  Went for lunch in a large group.  Recommend the baba tiramisu dessert (share with 2 people)

Halal chicken can be preordered. Pork and alcohol present.

@halalfoodbae's review of NAC Mayfair on Instagram

Wonderful Dining Experience at NAC

I visited NAC last night at 8 PM with my family and had an excellent experience from start to finish.

For starters, we ordered olives, beetroot hummus & feta, and halloumi fries with honey sriracha — the halloumi fries were absolutely delicious. In mains, we enjoyed the truffle Beyond burger, chicken sliders with sriracha mayo, popcorn chicken with spicy mayo, and truffled mac & cheese. For dessert, we had the speculoos French toast with raspberry and clotted cream.

We also tried two refreshing drinks — one apple, elderflower, mint & soda, and the other blackberry & vanilla lemon. Every single dish was delicious and freshly made. The popcorn chicken with spicy mayo, chicken sliders with sriracha mayo, halloumi fries, and blackberry & vanilla lemon drink were the absolute best — highly recommended!

The service was truly outstanding. The staff was extremely polite, attentive, and professional. They made sure we were comfortable throughout our time there. We also appreciated the high chair provided for our little niece — making it a very family-friendly place.

A heartfelt thank you to the manager and the staff who served us — they took great care of us and provided exceptional service throughout our visit.

I would highly recommend NAC to everyone looking for great food, superb service, and a pleasant dining atmosphere!

Absolutely in love with this place! We ordered many of their most popular dishes and were not disappointed! Their vodka pasta was amazing, as well as their truffle mac and cheese! Don’t get me started on the dessert - just lovely!! If you are in London definitely do not miss out on this famous spot. Overall, I had a great experience and I will for sure visit again!

my partner and i celebrated our 2 year anniversary here tonight and absolutely adored every second. we had sarwar as our waiter and he was so incredibly attentive to us! he spent so much time making sure our food was up to par, had a nice chat with us, and even surprised us with a sweet message on our dessert plate (and wished us a happy anniversary during dessert, and as we left!)

our food was DELICIOUS too, everything had so much flavour and kept us very happy, especially their tomatoes, they were super fresh! i’m so glad that we chose NAC to celebrate our special day. thank you for such a memorable night!

The food was great. Everything was delicious. We ordered small plates to share between the two of us: honey sweet potatoes, torched cauliflower, tomatoes and burnt brioche, chicken sliders, and a serving of fries.

I would get everything again, except for the torched cauliflower. It was too big for two people, and whilst it tasted good, it was rather plain.

The prices aren’t great but what can you expect from the location.

As for drinks, I think I ordered the orange and lychee mocktail. It was nice. Very refreshing and on the sweeter side.

We got a plate of the viral cookies for dessert and it was scrumptious. We couldn’t finish it but if we could have taken it home, I’m sure we would have demolished it.

NAC Mayfair never disappoints.
The place has that perfect blend of chic London vibes and warm, welcoming service. The menu is full of comfort dishes done right, but the real star of the show is the cookie dessert. Soft, warm, perfectly gooey in the center with just the right touch of sweetness — it’s honestly one of the best desserts in Mayfair.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite or a late-night treat, NAC delivers every single time. Highly recommended.

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 👌🏽

@twopeasfoodies's review of The Ritz London on Instagram

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❣️

Who are YOU taking to The Ritz?

@halalfoodbae's review of The Ritz London on Instagram

The Ritz London

An exceptional experience again at The Ritz! The Beef Wellington was absolutely flawless—perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. What truly elevated the evening was the impeccable service: attentive, professional, and genuinely warm without ever feeling intrusive. Every detail was handled with care, making the entire dining experience feel effortless and special. A world-class restaurant that lives up to its legendary reputation. Highly recommended after coming here at least 6 times it never fails to impress.

We booked the afternoon tea for my Daughter's 19 birthday.
We arrived late due to a train being delayed. The 1st thing the hostess mentioned was till what time we had the table, no smile from her.
We had a table in a corner, which was fine. Our waiter Gabriel was super nice and it made a difference as at first we did not feel welcomed.
All was exquisite, but I was very surprised when a waiter arrived with the birthday cake with no warning 15 minutes after our arrival. We were still eating our sandwiches. We did not have the opportunity to sing happy birthday, and realised all cakes where coming out at the same time. Not a very special experience in the end.
Another little detail our scones were already on our tray, so they were cold.
However, the service and the staff was really good and these details are in no way taking away their values and high end service etiquette.
Especially as we were treated to a glass of champagne due to a payment terminal issue, which was a very nice gesture.
The Christmas decorations were up and the whole hotel felt like a Christmas Carol decor.
Thank you to all of you at the Ritz London.

Absolutely superb sums up our experience of lunch in the Ritz restaurant. The hotel is decorated for Christmas and looks stunning-each table had its own Christmas table decoration and obviously the dining room looked delightful. Every member of staff we met was cheerful and welcoming-FOH training must be excellent. The hotel was busy-the afternoon tea is very popular and the restaurant filled up as lunchtime progressed. We were in early which was great-the staff welcomed us and introduced themselves to us in a really friendly way. Orlando and the lovely young lady looking after us were perfect and if you weren't sure about something they made you feel very relaxed about it all. The food was sublime-canapés served beautifully. My scallop starter was gorgeous and the Suffolk lamb main course was one of the best lamb dishes I have experienced. You also get freshly baked sour dough bread with organic French butter and we had a second serving of this-in case you want to have all the lovely juices which discreetly told you-it's ok to wipe the plate!! Pudding was also delicious as were the unexpected petit fours. Orlando kindly told us the table was ours for as long as we wished which on a freezing cold day was lovely. Thank you so much for making our experience so enjoyable and so memorable. Ps-everyone takes photos of the food!! Don't be embarrassed!! X

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!

The Ritz London stands as one of the city’s most iconic luxury hotels, offering an experience that blends timeless elegance with exceptional service. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels grand yet inviting, with staff who are polished, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The décor throughout the hotel is stunning—ornate ceilings, glittering chandeliers, and classic furnishings that create a sense of old-world glamour while maintaining absolute comfort.

The rooms are beautifully appointed, offering plush beds, marble bathrooms, and thoughtful touches that make each stay feel special. Whether you choose a room or a suite, the attention to detail is remarkable, and the service is consistently impeccable.

Dining at the Ritz is a highlight in itself. The Michelin-starred Ritz Restaurant is known for its refined dishes, elegant presentation, and live music that enhances the ambience. Afternoon tea in the Palm Court is an iconic London experience—delicate pastries, perfectly baked scones, and a wide selection of teas served in an opulent setting. The Ritz Bar also offers creative cocktails crafted with precision.

Overall, The Ritz London delivers a truly luxurious and memorable stay, combining world-class hospitality with a rich sense of heritage. A perfect choice for special occasions or a taste of London’s finest.

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

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

I really wish I could say we had an amazing meal here, but unfortunately, we did not. I am a cook and I was really looking forward to this meal as this place has great reviews. I booked this for my birthday. The venue is absolutely stunning. The atmosphere and jazz band were amazing. Their wine list is extensive and expensive. We ordered a bottle of Morgon beaujolais, which is one of my favourite wines.
However, the food was a massive letdown. I had the scallop to start. Absolutely tasteless! Hubby had the tuna, which was nice but nothing special. We ordered a side of tomato salad, which was nice, but there was absolutely no seasoning on it. This is sacrilege. Tomatoes must have salt!
We shared the beef wellington. I prefer my own, I have to say. Not much beef inside, way more mushroom to beef ratio. The sides were cold on the plate, and the truffle mash was ice cold.  The red wine jus had split. When the waiter poured the sauce all over the plate, he really should have noticed that the sauce had split, but he was oblivious. When I mentioned the ice cold mash potato and veg, a manager came over and made a huge deal of bringing us more mash potatoes.
I am attaching photos. If you zoom into the beef wellington, you will see the split red wine sauce all over my plate. This put me off ordering desert as I couldn't take any more disappointment. Our bill was £300 including a £31 service charge.
Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed the environment, the music, the service, the wine. But the thing I was looking forward to most was the food, and I was so underwhelmed.

Had the pleasure of eating with a friend at The Lanesborough Grilll. We choosed the Festive Menu and were very happy with it, all the flavours were balanced and some surprising (definitely suggest to take the Hazelnut Brioche with the Chicken Terrine.)
We also took the Tomato Salad and Hash brown from the à la carte Menu which were both delicious.

The Service was attentive yet not too much and the live music definitely added some extra to the ambiance.

Will come back!

Every dish was made with great care and creativity — beautifully presented and full of flavor. The service was excellent and friendly, and the restaurant itself was stunning, with elegant lights and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. It was a dining experience I’ll always remember.

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!

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

We were very excited to dine here and, having experienced several Michelin-starred restaurants before, we arrived with high expectations. We chose the Harmonie tasting menu, and while each dish was beautifully presented, some lacked depth of flavour.

The scallops were outstanding and we also enjoyed the restaurant’s signature dish. However, the cheese course was underwhelming and the wild mushroom dish, one we had particularly looked forward to, was unfortunately quite bitter and didn’t meet our expectations.

The staff were lovely, but attention to detail could have been better. The tables weren’t cleared between courses and the bread and butter stayed until dessert.

A thoughtful touch was the final celebratory cake for our anniversary, which we truly appreciated.

Overall, it was a beautiful and enjoyable experience, but when dining at a three-star Michelin restaurant, excellence is expected throughout. While there is much to admire here, we felt there is room for improvement, and for us, the experience did not quite justify the price.

We've been slowly working our way through the 3 Michelin star restaurants of London. It's a definite variety of styles & purposes. We hated the Fat Duck but adored Hélène Darroze — they have very different styles. So we were thrilled to find Alain Ducasse to be very much the fine French dining experience. Great wine list. Excellent service. Perfect execution and showcase of quality ingredients. Some specific highlights for us: the socca starting snack was light and delicious; mushroom-pine broth was a sheer delight; scallop with lemon beurre blanc is a triumph of French sauce; the main's side dish of venison ragù is exceptional and I wish I could have it right now; rhum baba is the best one we've ever had.

\\ 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.

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester delivers timeless Mayfair luxury without a hint of flash. From crystal drapes to Saint-Louis glassware, everything feels calm, confident, and meticulously refined. The seasonal tasting menu is outstanding—precise scallops with Kristal caviar, aromatic wild mushrooms, flawless halibut, and an unforgettable Rhug venison. Wine pairings elevate every dish with quiet sophistication. Service is impeccable, appearing at the exact moment you need it. After a 3-hour dinner that never missed a beat, it’s clear why this restaurant has held its three Michelin stars for 18 years. A must-visit in London.

Dining at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester is, without a doubt, an out-of-this-world experience. The 7-course menu is a festival of flavours on the palate; the staff’s attention is unequivocally up to the exacting standards of Mayfair. As a dessert lover, I can emphatically say that the finest dessert I have ever tasted took place in this restaurant – “Baba like in Monte Carlo” is an obligatory choice to round off this exquisite tasting with a golden flourish. The 3 Michelin stars are precisely where they belong: the best restaurant in the United Kingdom.

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.
