An ultra-luxurious, art-filled Mayfair townhouse serving exquisite French cuisine with subtle Sri Lankan spices, utilizing ingredients exclusively from the owner's private estate and island.
Ordering Strategy
If budget allows, the chef's counter upstairs offers the best theatrical experience; for a more accessible entry point into this very expensive venue, the set lunch menu (£55) is excellent value.
What to order
Tanera Island Native Lobster in Banana Leaf
Sourced from private Scottish waters and barbecued in banana leaves with wild cardamon and red wine jus, this dish is consistently cited by critics as the kitchen's standout showcase of high-end produce.
Arnaud Tauzin Poulet des Landes & Chicken Pie
This substantial course pairs refined roast chicken with langoustine and a side pie of roasted leg, leek, and Norwegian brown cheese that reviewers describe as 'absolutely amazing' and a standout comfort dish.
Chocolate Biscuit with Caviar
A signature that captures the restaurant's 'luxury is detail' philosophy, combining 66% chocolate with golden oscietra caviar for a daring salty-sweet finish.
Spiced Brixham Crab
Described as a sophisticated 'Coronation-style' dish, it features a seaweed crèpe, avocado, and toasted almond, finished with a complex sauce made from crab shell stock.

Good to know
The restaurant is spread over four floors of a townhouse but maintains an intimate feel with very few covers. Booking is essential and often phone-only for specific tables.
