    Where to begin!! We had the 9 course tasting menu with the paired wine menu and it was an epic culinary journey that is well worth the investment!! Your taste buds will thank you for it :)

    Come here for dinner but I highly recommend against getting the 9 course surprise tasting menu. They serve all their cheapest items and the portions are painfully big. The foie gras is great.

    Wonderful tasting menu. The Scallop, Savarin (both signature dishes) and Venison were firm favourites. Savarin is a sweet pastry cake doused in Darozze Armagnac, served with ice cream.

    Anniversary dinner - one of the best Michelin experiences in London. Tasting menu is great, seasonal and tailored to each customer. Wonderful atmosphere of elegance and sophistication + amazing food.

    The food is incredible, even though we were expecting it to be great - it was even better than that ! We have been to many "Michelin" starred restaurants but this is definitely the best to this day.

    The menu is well thought through. The vegetarian 5 course was delicious. My only criticism was the desert. Maybe Hélène Darroze is a women with a salty tooth rather than a sweet one.

    Loved the food experience here but tbh it's a far cry from the Ledbury specially for how much they charge

    The menu offers Darroze's signature dishes like Carnaroli rice in squid ink and other refined takes on the robust cuisine of southwestern France. Read more

    The £35 lunch deal here is fantastic value. Fabulous food in a beautiful setting. Impeccable service. Quiet and civilised rather than buzzing and vibrant. Well worth booking.

    The food is excellent, the upsale is noisy, the service is messy. For the money they charge everything should be ideal...
