Hélène Darroze at The Connaught
Mayfair
Three Michelin stars in the panelled drawing room of Mayfair's most discreet hotel, the defining London fine-dining address.
Three Michelin stars on Park Lane, Ducasse's London flagship since 2010, run by Jean-Philippe Blondet.
On the ground floor of The Dorchester, Alain Ducasse's London flagship has held three Michelin stars since 2010, the longest-tenured French three-star in the city. Jean-Philippe Blondet runs the kitchen day to day; the cooking is the Riviera-meets-Paris register Ducasse codified at Le Louis XV, the rum baba carved tableside, the truffle-and-celeriac, the Anjou pigeon, and the dining room is the Patrick Jouin–designed Lumiere table at its centre, a curved fibre-optic enclosure for parties of two to six. The Park Lane address keeps it as the booking the audience uses for in-laws and milestone anniversaries, not the most modern in the city, but the most assured.
Book the Lumiere table for two, the curved fibre-optic enclosure at the centre of the room is the dining experience. The rum baba is the canonical order; the cheese trolley is one of the deepest in London. Dress code enforced, jacket required.
