I came here two weeks ago for my wife's birthday. The lunch menu has three courses and each course is delicious. This is definitely a one star Michelin restaurant.

You can’t go wrong here! HEADLINE Well cooked food with a delightful atmosphere where the staff are extremely knowledgeable and give you as much (or little) detail as you wish! COST Went for the lunch time 3 course set menu at £65pp - very reasonable! FOOD Extremely well cooked and prepared. Meals all over background and list the inspiration where they came from. Highlight recommend you try Heston’s signature Triple Cooked chips regardless of what you are ordering! SERVICE Second to none. I also brought my own bottle of wine and was able to bring it before hand for them to assess and decide when best to open etc. Upon arrival, I could see them preparing the bottle ready. Note: Corkage is applied, the bottle i brought was a 1964 vintage and they handled it with great care and attention to detail EXPERIENCE Unforgettable. You are given a way to choose how you wish enjoy the meal, from the staff going through each dish in detail to being able to enjoy your meal with minimal descriptions. Staff are always on hand, from the moment you get up to leave to the rest room, they are straight in folding your napkin (in a very calm and controlled manner, they aren’t sprinting over) but these details are what make it special. CONCLUSION Will I come again? Yes. Do I recommend this? Yes. Will I order the Chips again? Yes.

Dining at Heston is a refined experience that feels both thoughtful and effortless. The restaurant’s interior is warm and elegant. The service is impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive. Each staff member anticipates your needs with a natural warmth that enhances the experience. The food is as innovative as it is delicious. The compost tart is beautifully presented , almost a spring garden on a tart, while the filbert oil ice cream is perfectly balanced with a nutty and delicate sweetness. The nitrogen ice cream, prepared at the table, is a small moment of theater that makes for a wonderful conclusion to the meal.

For a lunch service it definitely stuck as one of the most memorable I've had in London for a while. The flavours that go into the meals are extremely rich and truly some flavours I have never experienced in my life before. The steak for those who are rich meat eater does not disappoint. The Hereford Beef really stands out for how tender and flavoural. For the fish dish, a lot of care can be seen with the sauces that compliment it. I only had a bite so can't really delve fully into all elements of the dish but the texture, flavour and smell of the dish was splendid. I had the lamb with bed of cucumber and for me the contrast between the cucumber and lamb was superb and amazing. I never knew what amazing flavours you can get from simply a cucumber. One of my favourite dishes had in the restaurant. The mushroom parfait honestly was the most surprising in terms of depth and flavour. While it may not have an extravagant appearance the taste of it completely blew my mind. It needs to be had to be believed. Service of the staff was to the standard expected of the restaurant and they were to make suggestions based on vague request like sharing dishes and time limits. Overall well deserved 5/5 experience.

Amazing food, with some real standout dishes. The service was formal and professional, the wine pairings were great with the food. Standouts of course was the meat fruit paté, the lobster additional course was brilliant, the soft tender lamb main course with rich dark flavourful sauce, and the boozy rum baba dessert was a perfect ending.

Wir hatten den Chefs Table mit direktem Einblick in die Küche, was wirklich interessant war. Beeindruckend, wie gleichzeitig Sterneküche und Steaks mit unglaublich guten Pommes frites von der gleichen Mannschaft gekocht und angerichtet werden. Das Konzept von HB ist interessant und wird von den Köchen und Servicekräften auch gut erklärt; sehr gute und sehr teurer Weinkarte. Das Essen ist sehr schmackhaft, aber auch sehr reichhaltig und sättigend, mehr als das kleine Menü ist kaum zu schaffen. Ich habe es selten erlebt, dass die Gar-Stufenbei Fisch und Fleisch so perfekt getroffen wurden wie hier. Die zwei Michelin-Sterne sind definitiv verdient, mehr ist es aber auch nicht, da fehlt die finale Raffinesse.

Had lunch here on a stopover coming back to the States from South Africa. Not sure if the lunch menu is the same as the dinner menu. Lots of delicious dishes with all the polish and refinement you would expect from a 2-star. To be perfectly honest, dessert and the views were more memorable. They do try to be fun with their "card system" of information where you can choose what kind of info you want to learn about the dishes and food. A little kitchy but everyone is doing it now these days.

It was our second time at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, we were back many years after the first year this venue started out. But it impressed us even more. Entering the mandarin hotel with all its lush flower decorations and marble was just wauw, the short walk to the restaurant brings you in a vibrant mood of enjoyment, walking past the bar and the glass wine “cellar”. The restaurant staff is very professional without becoming distant. We went for the a la carte menu and the portions were just great. Flavour wise we were in awe how deliciously complex the dishes can be here. With wonderful presentations. You can choose a card and set it on your table to signal the staff to what degree you want an introduction the the magical culinaire world of Heston, which was very nice and thought us a lot. The wine advice from the sommelier was brief but spot on, we couldn’t choose which wine was the best, all so delicious and well paired. We wish we lived closer by, to enjoy this great place more often. A must go!

This review is not about this restaurant being bad, in fact the food was good and the service was excellent. We arrived and initially they had muddled up our reservation calling my wife by a different name on her 50th birthday. We were seated at our table and waited 15 minutes for the waiter and 35 minutes for the first palette cleanser to be brought to the table. The restaurant does not have table cloths, with just wooden tables, so when there is a chip on the table, like there was on ours, it catches the eye every time the plate is removed (picture attached), paying over £900 for 2 I do expect an element of perfection which this wasn’t. We went for the premium wine flight £195 and tasting menus £160. The first course was a salmon dish with an option caviar topping. My wife asked for this whilst I declined not being a caviar fan. The dish arrived with both salmon dishes having caviar. The dishes came and went and although good none were stand out or exceptional. The wine flight was at best average and for £195 not really acceptable. I gently mentioned this to the sommelier who was extremely polite, helpful and knowledgeable throughout the service. I said that maybe I should have bought a £400 bottle of wine instead of the wine flight, this would have been the most I had ever spent a bottle but with hindsight should have been the thing I did. He did provide a wonderful complimentary glass of dessert wine post my comments. Overall it was a disappointing end to my wife’s 50th Celebration, despite an otherwise amazing day. However we were staying in the Mandarin so where else would you book. I have to add and not in a sarcastic way the bread was exceptional with me personally having 4 pieces.

Food was amazing, the combinations of flavours, the interesting notes that hit your brain. The staff are well informed and freindly, maybe a hint of too much rehersal with how quickly they talked about the story of the food. The only major downside is the tables were too close together (there was plenty of empty tables), the table next to us were enjoying a celebration too, however it became hard to hear each other and the staff at times, my guest kept getting bumped into anytime someone needed to place or take a plate from the other table and when members of the other table needed the toilet. This didnt ruin the experiance for us as the food and service was incredible, i do plan to visit again just hope there will be more room next time.

Overall very good, but I think the experience has declined over the years. The somm. was quite dismissive when my fiancée said she didn't want alcohol - and then failed to bring her NA drink. We also had to wait about half an hour from sitting down to taking our orders, which is far too long. I think this was a broad issue - at one point the lady at the table next to us starting banging the table and chanted "hungry, hungry, hungry", which while hilarious, was a bit concerning. It ended up taking 2h30 for a 3 course meal. When present, the service was very good however (somm. aside), so I suspect they're understaffed. The food overall was excellent, but the meat fruit was disappointing. I've had it before, and perhaps it's rose tinted glasses, but I remembered it being more flavorful. As it is, the Mandarin orange doesn't really come through, and so it just ends up being dominated by the pâté. I would recommend the duck main, the marrowbone starter and the tipsy cake dessert.

The food was amazing and was accompanied by interesting stories of the recipes and their history.

We really enjoyed speaking with the sommelier who helped to enhance the dishes with thoughtful wine pairings and walked us through all the tasting notes. Definitely a special occasion kind of place so be prepared to spend £300+ per person.

I had a mixed experience with the dishes. Some were delightful, while others fell short. Nonetheless, I appreciate the effort and creativity put into the food. What really stood out was the unique service approach of picking a card to show how much information we wanted about the food. This allowed us to enjoy our conversations without too many interruptions, which was a considerate and smart touch. Regrettably, we encountered a hygiene issue when we discovered a short, curly hair in one of the dishes. It was extremely off-putting, and honestly not something I would expect at a high-end restaurant with two Michelin stars. On the bright side, they promptly replaced the dish and didn't charge us for the dish, which was the least they could do. However, they took too long to address the issue, and they could have handled the situation better. Other than that, all the dishes were beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The location being close to Harrods and the park was also a plus, considering there aren't many good restaurants near Harrods.

I honestly don’t get how people give this a good review it’s an absolute embarrassment of a restaurant and especially to hestons name and branding. The food is definitely not a two Michelin star standard is terrible I’ve had better food aim country pubs. I had high hope with been to the fat duck a few months before and hoping this could be on par but it wasn’t. I could help but laugh at the food and the whole experience. Went for the cheapest menu as that’s what I do. First, I work out if it’s worth spending more money there or not of it is I will go back and if it’s not , it’s not like I’ve wasted hundreds and been even more disappointed. It was my most memorable Michelin meal because it was the worse meal I’ve had it was a joke. The cheese selection was terrible the cheese board was tired and grubby looking the cheese selection was terrible and dull there’s some absolutely amazing cheese out there but this was just average cheese and grapes you could go to your local Tesco’s for . The starter I had they used the same filling for the toast as they did for the pie. I went in April and these are the pictures I took I can’t ever remember what the food was.

The venue and staff were great The food was mostly good; Starters both our dishes lacked in flavour and were just okay We both got Steak for main - very well cooked, sides were a bit bland, have had this quality of food in non Michelin Star restaurants My Pineapple Brioche desert was great as were my cocktails. The two stars us because nothing we ate felt that innovative, our taste buds were not surprised so it didn’t feel like the experience we were expecting, especially when it came to the bill total - very over priced in my opinion for what we actually ate.

Underwhelming and expensive. Our service was excellent and the servers were knowledgeable and passionate. I enjoyed the concept however would not recommend dining here. These recipes should have been left in the 1500s where they belong. The atmosphere of the restaurant ‘meh’ for such a gorgeous hotel. We ordered 8 items from the menu… The food was pretty bland, we even added truffle to the duck dish which had no aroma or taste. Meat fruit was pretty much the only memorable and good item.

The food was fine, but you pay more for the name than for the quality. the salad with tomato was very tasty and the fries were also very tasty. The cod cheeks were fine, but nothing special (and therefore not worth the money). And the cheese board was downright disappointing, with cheeses that could also have been bought at a good supermarket. The worst was the service, which, although friendly, had little knowledge of the products. The cheeses on the cheese board were only explained after we specifically asked and they only knew 4 of the 5 names and could not tell us anything about the taste or origin. She would come back to the name of the last cheese, but that never happened either. We also had water packages, but always had to ask for a refill. Which was very difficult because the service was not attentive and we therefore had to wait a long time. The location and interior are of course very beautiful and therefore make up for the amateurism of the service and the disappointing dishes. But for that money you would be much better off eating somewhere else.

the food is undeniably deserving of its michelin status. our meal started off well but as the lunch shift ended so did any attention to our table. food was delicious and i loved how they offered the choice on how much you wanted to know about the dishes (the tarot looking cards). just before dessert was served we were asked if we wanted to add on the nitrogen ice cream experience - we said yes… but after an hour plus of waiting we were getting impatient. no sight of our original servers in the room any more, most diners gone, water glasses empty - so we decided to cancel the order. they apologized but it was a disappointing end to the meal. i’m sure this is more of a 1-off type situation, but still rating it as it was.

We went for the Luncheon experience. The choice and inspiration behind the dishes was absolutely fantastic, same with the delivery. Very good value for money as well. We were a bit disappointed with the stories and explanations behind the dishes (we chose the option to hear a full story), which were very generic and brief. The wine pairing was very disappointing as well - not only was the choice of the wines rather random and not much to do with a pairing, we also found out that the markup on the prices was absolutely insane. The wine pairing is £49, each of the 3 very small 100ml glasses of wine we got sells at £15-£25 per bottle in retail. I understand retail price would be different to the restaurant price, but given the quality and size of the wines we were served, this is unacceptable for a restaurant of this prestige.

I had the meat fruit which was absolutely delicious. My partner and mum had the rice flesh which was just as good and my dad really loved his lobster soup. The prime rib for two is by far the best meat i have ever taste. You can tell it is sourced from the best grass fed farms in uk because it truly makes a difference. I highly recommend if you are hungry. The chocolate bar was offered to us and a nice chocolate and card was presented to my dad for his birthday. Probably the best restaurant in London were it is nit too pretentious and prices are worth it without being unreasonable.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Dinner and I truly enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, living up to its Michelin-star reputation. The service was equally impressive, with attentive and knowledgeable staff. However, I would recommend enforcing the dress code for guests and advising against wearing sports shoes, considering the elegant ambiance of a one-star Michelin restaurant. Additionally, I had a park view table, but two large touristic buses parked in front of the window were quite disturbing and detracted from the full dining experience. Overall, it was a delightful evening that I would highly recommend.

Very good meal that I would categorize as “bistronomic” with dishes of historical inspiration but reworked in a more modern way. The smoked trout is delicate, the duck is remarkably cooked. Typical setting of a hotel restaurant: even if the tables are spaced apart, it is very noisy because there are a lot of people. The service is attentive and the dishes are explained according to the wishes of the guests.

Definitely one of the best culinary experiences from my first trip to London! I dined late in the evening and hence, had to pick from the a la carte menu. Looking at the reviews and a lot of customer suggestions I tried 3 dishes. The first was the Meat fruit, though delicious I realized chicken liver parfait is not really my cuppa tea as it's tad gamey for my liking. I did finish it since the bread complimenting it made it tastier. The Turbot main was just perfect! Truly wowed with the cook on the fish, and was wondering like how do they get such a perfect sear on the fish mmm...the eucalyptus and parsley flavours emboldened the dish almost making it surreal! And...the Tipsy cake, while reading a lot of reviews I was like, how good can a cake be? Yet on the first bite itself...I was on cloud 9. OMG I just wanted to keep eating and never stop, even though I was full from the main and the app. I might totally consider visiting this place the next time I'm in London

One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. From the setting, to the hands on service, to the food. Just perfect. We were a table of three, and each and every item ordered was divine. I loved the entire experience, from the server describing each item ordered…to savouring the medley of flavours so beautifully incorporated in the dish.

Visited on the recommendation of a friend. I arrived feeling physically and mentally exhausted due to personal circumstances, but thanks to the top-notch service and wonderful food, I was completely rejuvenated. Choose the luncheon course consisting of appetizer + main + dessert. Appetizer: Ragoo of Pigs Ear on Toast (1st photo) Main: Batalia Pie (2nd photo) Dessert: Poore Knights (3rd photo) I irregularly requested extra cheese, but they kindly accommodated my request. The a la carte also looked delicious, so I would definitely like to visit again. Reservations are required.

This place seems to be more about creativity than flavour. The food just simply isn't tasty. We had the duck as a main and not a single item on the plate had any flavour. Ended up leaving the plate. Cannot fault the service, they were attentive and tried to compensate but sadly I wasn't interested in an alternative dish.

Truly one of the best dinners of my life. The food was magnificent, the sommelier and his recommendations were brilliant, and the service was very attentive. One of the waiters very kindly let us step into the kitchen to watch the chefs at work. Loved every minute of this dinner!!

Facing the blue sky and white clouds of Hyde Park, everything you eat is beautiful and comfortable. A service option similar to tarot cards. It was the first time I encountered it. It was interesting and considerate.

Interesting concept, culinary history education in a modern setting, but the dining is mediocre- the apricot duck too salty and chewy, the smoked trout was good but not superb. Ridiculously overpriced wine pairing and tasting menu A chef entertaining himself

I had the pleasure of experiencing the Mother’s Day special dinner at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, located in the Mandarin Oriental hotel in London, courtesy of my thoughtful son. The evening was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was elegant and inviting. The culinary journey curated by Heston Blumenthal himself was truly exceptional. Each dish was a masterpiece, meticulously crafted with exquisite flavors and presentation. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. I can’t thank my son enough for this memorable experience, and I highly recommend Dinner by Heston Blumenthal to anyone looking for a culinary adventure in London. It’s a dining experience that will linger in your memory for years to come!

You come for the name on the door, but it is the people that cook your meal and serve you, that determine your experience. And this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The food was amazing but the service was absolutely exceptional. Had the tasting menu and the premium wine pairing and chose the “Maverick” service where the history and technique was shared for both the wine and meal on every course. Exceptional in all ways.

The restaurant is in the gorgeous Mandarin Oriental Hotel and overlooks Hyde Park, so vibe is already 10/10 even just at the entrance. The tasting menu was quite creative. The highlight was the chicken liver mousse that looked like a mandarin, which probably pays homage to the hosting hotel. The tipsy cake was another amazing treat. Wine list is superb. They do serve the exquisite and expensive wines by the glass aka Dom, D'yquem, etc. Service is top notch. They offer 3 levels of explanation for the food from just letting you figure out the food yourself to giving all details including history of the dish.

Great restaurant where you can personalize your gastronomic experience! At the beginning, you receive three 'Tarot' cards to choose which information you want from the waiter: Maverick (tells you the history), The Guide (ingredients and preparation), Adventurer (they don't say anything, for blind tasting) ... the chosen card can be changed during the dinner. With the extended tasting menu, I opted for pairing with organic wines. The sommelier has excellent sensibility and is a great professional who personalizes the user experience! The waiter was very polite and provided information in the right dosage. The smart casual dress code is not respected, people come in with T-shirts and designer sneakers, either change the dress code or respect it so that other guests who do respect it don't feel bad. Tasting menu: I - Hay smoked trout, smoked trout carpaccio with citrus sauce and caviar, balanced not too strong, parts of sorrel salad unnecessary (excellent wine pairing) 8/10 II - Meat fruit - slow-cooked parfait of chicken liver in tangerine gel, shaped like a mandarin, delicate and fine and visually distracting (excellent wine pairing) - 9/10 III - Buttered crab loaf - 'meat' loaf of crab, crab and celery salad, golden trout caviar and cucumber emulsion, complex and balanced 9/10 IV - Rice&Flesh - smoked eel on saffron mayonnaise base, with chicken skin chips, reduced chicken broth and cubes, 10/10 - umami taste V - Duck&Turnip - duck with crispy duck liver with confit, carpaccio and turnip puree, 10/10 - sleek umami taste VI - Tipsy cake - brioche with vanilla sauce, cream puff and Napoleon brandy, pineapple slow-cooked for 5 hours and topped with apple, caramel and lemon sauce, 10/10 (the brioche is absolutely insane!) Recommendation!"

Delicious food experience! It was a lovely dining journey in the private room, taking us through the ages and a story with each dish. The dishes were very well put together and each one was delicious. Overall the experience was very enjoyable and worth the wait.

Went for dinner with my boyfriend as a treat, this is not something we have done before. I cannot recommend it enough. Form the service to the food and drinks, everything was incredible. They have a cocktail menu, however you can order any cocktail you wish and they will make it. We ordered the fillet steak with chips and a side of truffle mash potatoes (it's pricey but worth it). Hands down the best steak I've ever had. To finish off we shared a tipsy cake, which was so light and delicious. I cannot fault a single thing. Truly a fantastic start to our weekend away. I have already been recommending it to friends and family

Really just sublime. Exceptional food and service (it's great hearing all the backstory to the different courses from the staff). While it's obviously not cheap, the set lunch is a bit of a bargain if you want to experience the full fine dining experience without the usual price tag.

The food was enjoyable (we had the luncheon menu), and well presented. I thought the Batalia pie could have used more vegetables or something to balance out what was actually quite a large amount of meat. We went for the 'Maverick' level of experience and the staff were very attentive and provide thorough explanations that were easy to follow with regards to each dish and accompanying wine. It's quite a large restaurant and did get surprisingly loud at times for a late Sunday lunch (it was about half full), though looking around there's very little on the walls or ceiling to dampen the sound. This take away slightly from the dining experience, hence the 4* atmosphere.

Perfect! If I were to find a fault (and I mean really search for one) then it was a bit slow for coffees and the bill. The food was incredible. I’ll never have pie and chips like this… off the charts good! Service was amazing. The whole team are phenomenal and the culture of the workplace really shines. The team are harmonious. I’m already missing the place and I’m still full 5 hours later!

Service was so good! The staff were really energetic and i loved the explanations before each meal. The tasting menu was good but a little too one dimensional. The meat fruit and sous vide duck was really good. The rest of the dishes were a little one dimensional - rich and creamy mostly. A palate cleanser in the middle wouldve been great! Having different textures would also help with the dynamics. The view and atmostphere were really great though!

Visited Dinner By Heston Blumenthal for the first time with my partner and was absolutely blown away by the caliber of the food, marvelous service and sophisticated ambience. Hyde Park acts as a fitting backdrop plus you get to watch the chefs at work because it’s a ceiling-to-counter glass panel that wraps around the kitchen area. We went for the ala carte menu because there’s more options and our customized menu spanned 2 starters (rice & flesh, meatfruit) a side (truffle mash, very generous with the black truffles) 2 mains (duck & turnip, Hereford beef) dessert (tipsy cake, ice cream experience) 2 carafes of red and white wine and 2 cocktails so it was worth it. Special mention to Suparth, Maria and the sommelier whose name I did not manage to get, rendered impeccable service to our table. The banter, stories about the inspiration behind the dishes are really what ties the whole experience together. The front of house staff are also welcoming and courteous and they make for a good impression already before we even set foot in the restaurant. This is a place that warrants repeated visits and I am already looking forward to my next visit!

Mocun Gu guide London 🇬🇧 food tour introduction continues Dinner by Heston Blumenthal with two Michelin stars The fat duck headquarters that has been popular all over the country for more than ten years has lost its business in Mocun and Maicheng has closed down because of an orange. There are so many interesting things connected with this magical chef👨‍🍳The London store is opened in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel🏨 The high-end status of this old money location is evident👌 Generally speaking, the pomp and service are worthy of two Michelin stars. They are professional and polite without being disrespectful. The problem is the dishes 😂 I have relied on this orange 🍊 and Tipsy Cake for more than ten years to survive to this day. It is also a masterpiece 😹 It can really only be found in London, England. Such a place that remains unchanged can be like this. You can say it is traditional or stick to the rules😑 The food🥘The quality and production are consistent and the steak tastes good🥩The heat is just right👌 How can I say it? It is recommended to try it once but for me It’s enough to say it once. There is no freshness and the orange 🍊 chicken liver pate has shrunk by more than half. 😹 The price/performance ratio is extremely low... $130 pounds per person can only be said to be quite satisfactory. This time I came to London and I picked up a few stars. 😹BTW Wine It’s great but super expensive😑 Gu’s Tasting Rating Tasting Standard If the score is less than 2 points, it is not recommended✖ If the score is more than 4 points, it is highly worth checking in✅ Taste❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4/5 Environment❤️❤️❤️❤️💔 4.5/5 Service ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4/5 Value for money ❤️❤️❤️💔 3.5/5 Recommendation ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4/5 Melbourne | Melbourne Life | Melbourne Food |Melbourne Shop Exploration |Mocun Guidance |Australian Life | Australian Food |Australia Shop Exploration @吃不filled的classmates @吃火丝 #Mo村Guguide London Tour [Topic]# # MelbourneGuGuGuide London Tour [Topic]# #melbournegudao[topic]# # MelbourneGudaofood[topic]# #melbourneguideguidetour[topic]# # Melbourneguideguide[topic]# #木村guide[topic]##毛村guidetour[topic]# #melbournegudaogoogle.com’s high-score exploration store sharing [topic]# #Mocungudao google’s high-scoring exploration store sharing [topic]#

I went here with my Long term Partner for Christmas before Covid. Again.... It was all kinda new to him! He was also excited to go to Hamleys Toy Shop which was also just on the Regent Street. So very well located for children. The Langham Hotel also has a pool. The Staff were so fun and pleasant. A lovely group of Staff. I had so much laughs with them a complementary Homemade Christmas Pudding was sent up to the room. Thank you to Staff of the Roux at the Landau. I was hoping you would be reopening after Covid, but alass. Wishing you all success in your chosen paths and thank you for a memorable heart warming memory x
