The Ritz Restaurant
St James's · London
Perhaps the most beautiful dining room in London: gilded, mirrored and overlooking Green Park. Classic cooking with table-side service, and a strict jacket-and-tie dress code.
Book early
Three-star tables often release reservations 30 to 90 days ahead and fill within hours. Set a reminder, or ask your hotel concierge.
Dress the room
Smart is the rule; a jacket is expected in most palace-hotel dining rooms, and some still require a tie.
Tell them in advance
Allergies, dislikes and celebrations are best mentioned when booking, not at the table.
Lunch is the secret
Many starred kitchens serve a shorter lunch menu at a fraction of the dinner price, with the same hands at the stove.

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester
Alain Ducasse's London table inside The Dorchester on Park Lane. Refined French cuisine and polished service; ask for the Table Lumière, a private table enclosed by a curtain of fibre-optic light.
Hélène Darroze at The Connaught
Hélène Darroze's restaurant in the oak-panelled dining room of The Connaught, with menus that change with the seasons and the producers she works with. The Connaught Bar next door is the classic place for a martini beforehand.
CORE by Clare Smyth
Clare Smyth's restaurant on Kensington Park Road celebrates British produce with warmth and precision. Less formal in feel than the Mayfair hotel dining rooms, and just as hard to book.
