A polarizing temple of three-Michelin-star gastronomy where the wood-paneled room is historic, the service is suffocatingly formal, and the bill is astronomical.
Ordering Strategy
Prepare for a tasting menu format where choices are limited but supplements are plentiful; avoid the astronomically priced add-ons (like the £115 Wagyu) unless money is no object.
What to order
Lobster with Tandoori Spices
Cited by critics as the unwavering signature dish; it is the one menu item that never changes and is seen as justifying the restaurant's Michelin stars.
Signature Baba with Armagnac
A 'must go' tableside ritual where you choose from specific vintages, like 1988 or 1997, to be poured over the cake; it is frequently served with a delicious apple parfait.
Espelette butter
An 'amazing' scarlet cone of butter served with the bread that critics claim is so good they would buy a tonne of it to take home if they could.
Foie Gras from Landes
A rich, substantial starter consistently praised for its silky texture and depth of flavor, making it a staple for those seeking a hearty beginning to the meal.

Good to know
This is a jacket-required, hushed-tone environment. The wine markups are notoriously high, even for Mayfair, so consult the sommelier carefully or stick to water if value is a concern.
