Celeste in City of London, Westminster

This is my favourite restaurant ever. Amazing food, fabulous service, beautiful ambience. It really is so special and such personal service. Really love it here ❤️❤️

We went with a travelzoo voucher, had 2 three course meals and a glass of Champagne each for £98. The food was amazing and the chef came and talked to us. The head waiter was attentive and had a good sense of humour. We chose the cheapest wine on the menu (£65 for a bottle)! So we weren’t popular with the sommelier! It was one of the best meals I’ve had in London - very good value for money. Great experience under massive chandeliers!

Contra total de principio a fin! ¡Té de la tarde Bridgerton! ¡38 libras por cada media copa de champán, luego añaden el IVA y luego el cargo por servicio! ¡EVITA principalmente que te estén estafando! No hay bridgerton al respecto, extremadamente decepcionado

Sorry this review is late but this has, excuse the pun, eaten at me since I took my wife on our anniversary on 1st January 2023 when this restaurant was names Celeste, I understand is is now rebranded following the loss of their star but I want to get this off my chest. We book a couple of months in advance with the hotel as we are both vegan and were assured they catered very well for vegans. So on January the 1st we turned up and took our place in the lavish dining room and when we informed the waiter we were vegan he did not disguise his look of horror and went off to see the chef. He came back and said the chef was deciding what he could cook, I explained we arranged this well in advance but he informed us there were no notes made against our booking. Anyway the very talented chef managed to rustle up a salad starter, a very stodgy risotto the offered a rice pudding desert! More Little Chef than fine dining. The only positive note was the sommelier who suggested an wonderful organic champagne. So anyway the most disappointing anniversary and £450 for the worst meal I have ever had in, supposedly, one of the finest hotels in London. Moan over, back to Alaine Ducasse who knows a thing or two about vegan diners!

We dined early on a Thursday and The Grill wasn’t busy, indeed it looked like the staff outnumbered guests for most of the evening. So we were well served in quantity, although it wasn’t perfectly polished and our food could have been warmer when it reached us. Orkney scallops were excellent with tasty accompaniments. Dover sole was a little overcooked and Cornish Turbot wasn’t the freshest. White peach Eton Mess would have been better with more than a few slivers of peach. All this, and the wine, was too expensive to be good value. Based on this dinner experience it’s surprising that The Grill is in the top three percent of London restaurants. Perhaps it’s the much less expensive three-course set lunch that’s best, or the afternoon tea. We had been shown to our table in the stylish room under the chandeliers and the canopy roof and handed what was claimed to be “our fantastic A La Carte menu” with the hope that we “would have a fantastic evening”. Better than Good but not Fantastic.

As you enter the dining room it had a distinct aroma like Frankincense and myrrh - I don't really know what it was, but it was interesting. The dining room which is sunken in the centre and raised along the sides is nicely decorated with a glass ceiling.  The waiters are very quiet that you can barely hear them, however the head waitress, Georgia, had a strong loud accent which was harder to understand.  Interesting show of opulent inefficiency with 4 waiters and 1 waitress bringing a table of six their entrées.  The waitress seemed to be Spanish with absolutely no character, somewhat abrupt and totally not worth the cost of admission.    For the Festive set menu, I ordered for as a starter the Westcombe Cheddar and Roscoff onion tartlet, celery, pickled walnut, hollandaise which was interestingly nice. Then the main entrée, lacking of any taste Norfolk turkey Wellington, with caramelized parsnip, sprout leaves, madeira and truffle which in total was uninspiring... the sprouts were tough, bland swede mash, and parsnip slices with a burnt red wine sauce.    The 3rd and final course - I selected the Lanesborough Christmas pudding and ice cream which although quite small was quite nice.     So unto the most annoying part as I sat there trying to get the waitress Georgia to bring the check yet she ignored me and then went to 2 other tables with their checks I waited over 15 mins... finally I went to the waitress station to get her attention while she was chatting to her wait staff.  So was this worth £55 for a Festive dinner; certainly cheaper than some but with a bland main entrée I would pass on even if the head waitress were to be more diligent and attentive.

Not our first trip to the Lanesborough Grill and hopefully not our last. It's my daughter and I's favourite lunch in London! From the welcome at the door to the serving staff, and from the wine/cocktail menu to the food - it's all just very lovely! My gluten intolerance is always catered for (both in the grill and in the Library bar). Executive chef Shay Cooper is an absolute genius, everything we ate was sublime - especially the Isle of White Tomato starter! The staff in the Library Bar are darlings and our cocktails were delicious. We will hopefully return soon!

Located in the Lanesborough on the ground floor, beautiful interior. The 3 course meal is now More select with only two items on each course as to three previously. The heritage tomatoes was good as was the terrine . The beef’s cheeks was average- a fatty cut but the sauce salvaged it. The chocolate with mint desert was below average. The millefieulle with caramel was very nice. Service was excellent but food was not at their usual level.

We used a voucher given as a Christmas present on my wife's birthday. The whole experience was simply amazing. My wife had an operation on a broken wrist a few days before our visit and was in a cast. So, at the time things were a bit tricky, she needed a lot of help. The staff were so accommodating and helpful to us both throughout our visit. Even directing us to a bathroom where I could assist her. The food and the service was simply amazing. My wife was given a birthday to remember despite her injury. Top class.

We had lunch at The Lanesborough under their offer of a fixed price meal, a present from our son for Christmas. The meal and staff were wonderful and efficient. However what led to the lower grade review was when my husband decided to order the Cheese platter for an extra £12. Well that was a joke and really quite insulting. Got more when we flew on BA two days later.. and that was included in our fare! I would also warn people that you will also automatically have to pay a service charge on the whole meal. Not a problem for us however just remember that when you come to budget for lunch.

Excellent. Good food & superb service We had the fixed price 3 course lunch and every course was excellent, Service was excellent from the time we arrived at the hotel until we left. Would thoroughly recommend.

Yesterday I experienced the Queen Charlotte afternoon tea at The Lanesborough in London. This was created in partnership with Netflix and Shondaland. The limited-edition menu pays homage to the Regency era; a time of great revelling and high style, of elegant parties, balls, and grand dinners, all with a contemporary twist. Establishment and Ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Lanesborough’s has a richly decorated dining room, naturally illuminated during the day by a domed glass roof. Such a beautiful elegant room. There was no pianist or any music, so you could easily hear your other companions. Level of Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unfortunately I just wasn’t impressed by the level of service we received. I have given it a 3 for average but for this level of establishment it was quite poor. The attention to detail certainly wasn’t there, I had to look around and wait to find a server near by to get tea replenishments etc. The one positive was we certainly didn’t feel rushed! Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The sandwiches were most enjoyable, and again I liked the different varieties of bread. As we didn’t have the salmon we were asked which additional sandwich we would like. The scones I thought were doughy, I really didn’t like the texture. The jam although quite plentiful just ran straight off the spoon. The petite fours were a no for me. I completely disliked that one was to share. I am one of those people who never likes to share food and I really found this to be in very poor taste to have to deal with at afternoon tea when out with friends. The petite fours whilst pretty to look at, were just too much mess and fluff. Tea and Tea Ware ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Being in such a fabulous Georgian dining room plain white cups, saucers and plates seemed a little boring, but I really liked the silver teapots, milk jugs and sugar bowls. Value for money ⭐️⭐️ This afternoon tea was priced at just £80. In my honest opinion, spend the extra £5 and take afternoon tea at the Ritz, that extra £5 gets you a whole different experience. I honestly felt like I was paying for the association with Bridgerton. I’m pleased I experienced this afternoon tea, but I wouldn’t return and so far it was my least favorite on this trip Overall Score ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #AfternoonteareviewsbyLindsey

We had a great time at lunch. Warm welcomes await you as you enter the hotel and all staff greet you with a smile. The food was excellent, all the staff were polite and friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Lots of improvements needed, especially in the service sector, it takes long time to get noticed by staffs! Dishes very appetizing and well presented. Loved the risotto

We had a Sunday roast at the grill. 3 adults and a child. We had an overall nice experience. We really like the room, and the atmosphere. I just wanted to share something that we found quite ridiculous. It is not suppose to be a cheap place. At almost 700 gbp for 3 adults and a kid with 3 glasses of wines for a roast. That was expected so that is ok. But when my wife got the cheese trolley (which is already at a supplement), she was told she could only pick 3 pieces of cheese. Come on, that is cheap stuff and completely ruin the cheese trolley idea. Are you in such a dire financial situation that every piece of cheese counts? An idea for you: Ask the guests to give you their pocket change at the exit, maybe you will be able to finance the next cheese platter … When we asked for more gravy, the waiter answered a concerned “I will go and check…”. We got our gravy but you should not make it as it is such a special ask. You should do better on those points. That all sounds quite ridiculous …

My second time here and both times I loved my experience, the service is outstanding, food is delicious, vine is really good, surroundings are perfect. I will come back again.

I had a virgin experience voucher for 3 course dinner.for my birthday. We walked through the lovely Hyde park flower gardens and had cocktails in the library bar first - they were excellent in cosy drawing room with unlimited snacks. 5 stars for those. We chose the lilibet and the one with blackcurrant powder. Yum. There were drinks on the menu costing £6,500 so order carefully! We moved to the grill and the food was great, especially my rhubarb dessert. I gave it 4* though as we are lucky to eat in lots of posh restaurants and a couple of the elements weren’t perfect- the pine nut purée and the poached blackberries. We added on the £45 wine flight which the sommelier chose well. Staff were very friendly and the location sumptuous; lush carpets, fresh flowers everywhere, fires. Very fancy.

Service and setting excellent. Set menu leaves a lot to be desired. The main consisted of a chicken breast with a single wilted leaf. No proper vegetable to have a mouthful of. No carb either. Deserts were average. I have been before and had the Sunday menu and that was fantastic. Set menu disappointing though. Very mean and stingy to not include even any vegetable. Having said that, the chicken was done well.

Nel cuore della zona Knightsbridge/Hyde Park (dove è di casa Bridgerton) questo ristorante ci ha fatto sentire coccolati e nella vera ospitalità londinese. Percorso gastronomico di livello, accompagnato da un buon Gusbourne del 2018 Brut, Blanc de Blancs Kent, England “Chardonnay”. Abbiamo gustato come antipasto un Salmone in vaso, roc di merluzzo affumicato, ravanello, pane di segale, finocchio poi abbiamo proseguito con un Risotto all’aglio orsino, spugnole di nuova stagione, piselli, fave & Pecorino Bianco di Lago poi Pollo Suffolk, pancake di grano saraceno, purea di pinoli, cuori di pollo brasati ed un Millefoglie alla vaniglia, caramello al sale marino, gelato alla vaniglia tostata. Ottima la Mousse al cioccolato bianco e bacche di ginepro, torta clafouti, sorbetto alle more. La cucina creativa ed internazionale che amo! Location: pazzesca e servizio di livello (complimenti a Manuela!). Consigliato

Simply outstanding, couldn't fault it, service, food, ambience. We eat out regulary and this was one of the best meals that we've ever had.

Excellent service from Andrea, the experienced and helpful waiter at the Lanesborough Grill. 3 courses plus champagne was excellent value. The room was absolutely stunning and the food could not be battered. Truly a five star experience. The staff were extremely knowledgeable about the history of the hotel, which made it a fascinating experience. Would definitely recommend if you are in London for the weekend.

Fantastic service, Raffaella was exceptional and the rest of the team made our experience perfect today. A big thank you and we will definitely be back!

From the moment we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by various courteous members of staff greeting us. We were seated at a nice table overlooking most of the restaurant and its beautiful decor. Our 3 course food was excellent and would definitely go back.

Originally in 1733 Lanesborough House was the London home of Viscount of Lanesborough but unable to upkeep it was opened as St Georges Hospital. It has been tastefully and sympathetically restored in a beautiful hotel. From the doormen to all the staff the service was exceptional. The Grill is aweinspring in soft wedgewood blue and set on two levels. A welcome complementary glass of champagne was offered and both a la carte and table d'hote menus were offered. Wine list was extensive and many available by the glass. The lunch was served by unrushed but prompt staff.

Una serata semplicemente perfetta: dall’accoglienza al cibo (straordinario sia l’antipasto di crostacei che il beef wellington), dai vini al savoir faire del personale che ha quel perfetto equilibrio tra formale e informale. Molto molto di gusto anche l’arredo, le luci, la musica…. una serata indimenticabile.

Excellent service all through! Truelly amazing staff. From the decor to the food, it was amazing! This is fine dining at its best!

Great ambience and lovely staff. Pudding was the best course delicious. We were well looked after by the staff very attentive.

Nice ambience, delicious food and fantastic service throughout. Special thanks to Giusu for her hospitality, she has made our wedding anniversary celebration very special. Also would like to compliment Rafael for his attention and advise on wine choices. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Whilst the food was excellent the service was below standard. Wine pairings were not explained and arrived after the relevant course had been delivered. The staff are friendly but simply lack the necessary skills to support fine dining. Such a pity! I expected so much...

Beautiful decor, amazing food with exceptional presentation and service. Our waiter was called Tomas and he was brilliant! One of the best meals I’ve eaten in a long time. We were also served some very tasty warm bread and handmade chocolates! Highly recommended.

We chose to have a Lanesborough cream tea before heading off for a show. As always the sandwiches and cakes were top notch plus the service which is outstanding. Can't wait for Xmas Eve to try their Festive cream tea.

My wife and I had delicious festive lunch. The ambience was refined yet relaxed. The service was excellent. The only very minor blemish on proceedings was the staff were slightly too solicitous. Over the course of our 3 courses we must have been asked if the food was Ok a dozen times. Once per course you would expect but it became a little intrusive after a while. We even had one of the courses explained to us twice in quick succession. As I said a minor blemish on an otherwise lovely experience that we would highly recommend but worth flagging nonetheless.

Just returned from an unforgettable evening at the Lanesborough Grill. Everything was faultless; the greeting at the door, the welcome into the restaurant- the warmth and courtesy of the staff is the best I have experienced in London. My boyfriend and I had only booked the previous evening but the staff were so beautifully accommodating and kind. This was a very belated birthday present and Andrea and Zilbe (without any obligation!) went out of their way to make me feel so special. I left the Lanesborough a bit teary- eyed at how wonderful our time had been and how kind the people are here. This goes beyond simply good staff- this is good people to their very core at their very best. Paul at the cloakroom was so wonderful and introduced us to the hotel’s gorgeous resident cat Lilibet, who around this time of year enjoys living under the Christmas tree! We will undoubtedly be back- it felt like home away from home. I just cannot express how moving our experience was tonight, mostly thanks to the wonderful team that looked after us. Andrea, Zilbe, Paul and others. Thank you so much. We are just so looking forward to returning very soon.

Lovely Christmas decorations as you walk in : Dining room beautifully decorated with Christmas deco. Lovely bread amouse. Was missing an amouse bouche however. Had the three course meal. Starter - Beautiful Mackerel dish, lovely sauce and nice and light. Mains of cod was again excellent- portion was on the smaller side. Desert of thyme tart and chocolate was both very good. Negroni’s was average. Lovely petit four. Amazing service .

From the moment I walked through the portals of this beautiful hotel I was made to feel welcome. The doorman ushered me in and escorted me along a sumptuously decorated corridor to the Grill and left me in the care of two lovely ladies who took my coat and showed me to the table reserved by my fellow diner. The impression was of entering a light and spacious drawing room with elegant tables and chairs and comfortable cushions. A pianist played softly in the background. The atmosphere was one of relaxed enjoyment. The staff all seemed so pleased to see us. We chose from the luncheon menu and the wine waiter explained the flight of wines to accompany each course. We commenced with an excellent glass of champagne and slices of bread , warm from the oven and delicious, while we studied the menu. We both chose the Jerusalem artichoke first course, followed by slow cooked shoulder of lamb for me and a gnocchi and mushroom dish for my friend. But that is only half the story. In between each course throughout the meal , delicious and innovative amuses bouches arrived accompanied by our choice of selected wines. The Sauvignon blanc from Touraine was, I think, the best I have tasted. The staff were attentive throughout and we were able to discuss the food which is always such a pleasure. It was a long, leisurely meal in wonderful surroundings and we left determined to return.

Beautiful space with magnificent glazed roof. Welcoming and professional staff. Delicious food beautifully presented. Tables set well apart . All make for a very enjoyable experience

Elegant, relaxed, completely wonderful! We had Sunday lunch here recently and will certainly return on our next visit. The dining room is gorgeous and light-filled. The food was wonderful, especially the autumn salad and the Beef Wellington. It's on the expensive side, but completely worth it for a special treat.

I booked the Queen Charlotte afternoon for my daughter's birthday as I wanted to treat her to something special, but it wasn't great. initially we had a very nice welcome, but we were given in my opinion the smallest table in the room and the service was slow. When all our table was set and the food and drink was served (sandwiches, desserts, scones, tea cocktails and water along with plates, cup & saucers, plates and cutlery) there was absolutely no room to even move anything and I couldn't even see my daughter during the tea as the cake stand was in the way so I we had to keep moving our head to the side to chat. It was our first time to the Lansborough and the experience was not great. The signature cocktail was very nice and the desserts were good, however the sandwiches were only just average. The dining room is charming. Food was nicely presented on the tiered cake stand, decorated with plastic leaves and oranges. I am more than happy to pay the price for a great afternoon tea, but I do expect an excellent experience all round to match the price. Overall, this was an underwhelming experience, I have been to far better afternoon teas in London.

Beautiful interior, wonderful welcome from staff. Warm Greeting form sommelier. Good wine selection- a whole book of wines to choose from. Had the three course meal, the starters was nice- chicken parfait with brioche, super rich but very tasty. The mains of beef Wellington with a supplement which was excellent with the amazingly intense jus and the desert were amazing of chocolate tart and the cheese cake. Wonderful food, amazing service and beautiful ambience.

I was taken here for a surprise treat by family and friends to celebrate my retirement. As one of the most luxurious hotels in London, you might expect to be intimidated by a visit to The Lanesborough. This was certainly not the case, starting with the wonderfully friendly doorman who offered to dispose of the empty cans of G&T that my family had been consuming in the taxi. Without exception, all the staff we encountered were smilingly personable and efficient. The Grill itself is in an elegant space with tables nicely spaced. My family had arranged for a bespoke menu with chef Shay Cooper, with the only stipulation being that it had to include his celebrated Beef Wellington - an appropriate choice considering the hotel's location near to the Duke of Wellington's former home. What followed was a succession of delicious and inventive dishes, beginning with the most amazing bread. I could happily have eaten much more of this had I not seen what was to come. There were courses of crab and lobster, neither of which I would normally consider eating - my mistake - they were both delicious. Risotto managed to be simultaneously unctuous and crispy, an interesting combination. The Beef Wellington was literally 'melt in the mouth', the only complaint being that several (all) of us would have liked second portions. A different take on millionaire shortbread concluded a fantastic menu. The evening finished with coffees, digestifs, petit-fours and a chat with Chef Cooper. I should add that all of the 'front of house' team complemented Cooper's menu with their warm, informative and efficient service. It was really a 'night to remember'. My only thought after this was to consider going back to work in the hope of a second retirement dinner at The Lanesborough. My thanks to everyone at the hotel who made the night such a wonderful experience.

We very much enjoyed dinner here. It's a quiet, beautiful room. The food was tasty. We especially enjoyed the bread and petit fours.

Went for the 3 course set menu for lunch & my word what an amazing lunch. Greeted by two immaculate doormen, beautiful interior, all the staff were friendly. Taken to our table in the most pretty surroundings. Offered water as we looked at the menu & the sommelier told us about the drinks menu & wines. The bread sitting in a dish of seeds was just delicious. Starters arrived & we were so amazed at how beautiful the dishes were & oh wow the tastes were fabulous. Our mains once again delicious& so beautiful, then deserts, we savoured every mouthful. We have dined in The Ritz, The Savoy, The Hilton, Gordon Ramsey, The Ivy, to name a few & The Lanesborough was the stand out best so much so we are going back in 3 weeks for my birthday. Thank you to all the chefs & staff excellent service.

First visit and I was not disappointed. Stunning hotel/restaurant and impeccable service. Had the lunchtime set menu which was divine and plenty to eat. The Cured mackerel, charred Cornish squid, gooseberry, white almond gazpacho, was as light as a feather and stunning to look at. Followed by Sea trout, ricotta gnocchi, courgette and basil, green tomato butter sauce, another fantastic summer dish, the pièce de résistance was the dessert, Strawberry and lime tart, vanilla ice cream, a perfect ending with wine pairings and of course champagne. Petit fours with coffee and of to the theatre to see Six. Fantastic day out in London.

Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Friendly welcome amazing beautifully presented food. Mercer champagne not too bubbly just right. 2nd visit to the prettiest hotel dining room in London if I lived in Lodon I would dine there every week if I could.

Went here a few days ago for an afternoon tea. The food was lovely and their tea was amazing. I especially loved their black tea and Bridgerton-inspired pastries. The staff is friendly and super nice. Shamira especially did a great job in accommodating us! 😊

I visited the Grill tonight with my friend and this was formerly the Celeste restaurant at the Lanesborough Hotel. We were slightly apprehensive and were so pleasantly surprised. The staff were excellent - very attentive and very welcoming. We had the set menu which was...

Had a great lunch here recently. Great welcome and very friendly service. The doorman was so nice, allowing us to ride in the hotels limousine back to the station. Will definitely return. Thank you
