Ordering Strategy

The lunch menu (approx £45) is widely cited as one of the best value fine-dining deals in London. For dinner, the Prestige Menu is the move to properly explore the wine pairings.

What to order

Safe first

Scallops with caper berries and caramelised cauliflower

Regarded as the kitchen's 'finest work' and an 'expertly cooked' highlight that stands out against safer menu options.

Hungry

Cornish Turbot

Retained as a top-tier main; reviews acknowledge the restaurant's high-calibre French foundations, and this dish is widely cited as a masterpiece served with clams.

Wildcard

Hollow sphere of chocolate

Provides the 'theatrics one wants for this sort of money,' featuring a shell that melts under hot chocolate sauce to reveal milk ice cream.

Wildcard

Château Pétrus by the Glass

The restaurant's namesake remains its greatest draw; guests can sample the legendary vintage from the signature cylindrical wine store at the heart of the room.

What to skip

Skip

Polenta canapés— Described as a 'victory of the deep-fat fryer' that fails to deliver on promised flavors of black olive and parmesan.

Good to know

The dining room features a floor-to-ceiling cylindrical wine cellar. There is a 'Kitchen Table' experience available for up to 8 guests to watch the chefs work.
