Signal score

Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

A glamorous, unashamedly old-school theatrical experience where tableside trolleys, chandeliers, and mandatory jackets create London's ultimate fine-dining spectacle.

Ordering Strategy

While the 'Epicurean' tasting menu is popular, ordering à la carte for the 'Arts de la Table' dishes (marked on the menu) ensures you get the full tableside trolley performance.

What to order

Safe first

Langoustine À La Nage

Universally cited as a masterpiece; huge, sweet crustaceans served in a rich, buttery sauce with bronze fennel.

Hungry

Anjou Pigeon à la Presse

The pinnacle of the 'Arts de la Table' service; the bird is carved and pressed tableside to create a rich sauce in a spectacular display.

Wildcard

Crêpes Suzette

Ordered for 'sheer theatricality,' this boozy dessert is finished on a trolley in front of you; it is a highlight of the classic French service that makes the meal 'cartoonishly grand.'

Wildcard

Coronation Chicken

A 'stunner' of a canapé wrapped in a 'sugar tuile cylinder' seasoned with coconut and curry; critics note it is so good they'd like to try eating 'too many of these.'

Wildcard

Lamb with Roscoff Onions

A standout main featuring 'cutlets of pink lamb as soft as hurt feelings' accompanied by Roscoff onions that are 'sweet and sticky.'

Good to know

This is one of the last places in London with a strict dress code: gentlemen must wear a jacket and tie (no jeans or sneakers). Book months in advance. Friday and Saturday dinners feature a live band and dancing.
