Dinner by Heston Blumenthal in City of London, Westminster

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!

The most amazing experience i had in a restaurant. The food staff the place were truly beautiful. Definitely worth a 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 mean, I’m not even going to make a review about the food, he’s in my opinion, the best chef in the world, so anything you order will be espectacular. The only thing I will recommend is one of the sides, order the smash potatoes, you will be delighted.

Exceptional service and food from many knowledgeable and experienced professionals. We were so well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed our celebratory dinner. Thanks to all at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal!

One of the few Michelin-starred restaurants that I came back for the second time. Will come back for more.

Located in the mandarin oriental ground level. It doubles up as their breakfast location for guest of the MO. Interior, views of Hyde park, laminate wood table, no white table Cloth. Glass kitchen walls- good view of the dozen or so chefs in the kitchen. Service- warm welcome. Three styles of presentation for food- different take on service. First bottle of wine we ordered was out of stock, next bottle, they were on their last bottle. This needs consideration for future guests. Three course lunch- interesting dishes as non one has very often. Opted for the ragoo of pigs ears on toast- rich and heavy dish, very nicely cooked. This was followed by mains of Batalie Pie which is sweet bread- also very heavy and nicely cooked meat, which was presented by serving in a pie with little carrots and onions on the top . The rhubarb and corriander tart was good. The poore knight was excellent with a lovely sauce and orange segments on the top. Service was good- warm and welcoming. Shame about the wine that was unavailable.

It was an unbelievable experience. The food, the experience, all the serving options, and the history information all were above amazing. I had a tasting menu but, I asked to change main course from duck to beef and order a different dessert, which the changes were accommodated happily. Every thing was delicious and the flavour were unique and designs were so interesting. One of the must go places for food lovers in London

Absolutely excellent. Service was welcoming, attentive, and can adjust to your preferences. The dishes we tried were pure perfection with wines to match. This is a special dining experience, and we're very grateful to have enjoyed an evening here.

Recently dined at Dinner by Heston, and the experience was delightful. The chicken liver parfait was a creamy delight with a generous portion, and the tipsy cake was a standout. The overall food experience was excellent, complemented by attentive service. Excited to explore more of Heston's creations in future visits.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had - we’ll be going back every time we visit London! We have dined at many top restaurants around the world including Michelin starred, and Dinner by Heston will be on my shortlist of favourites for three main reasons: 1) A dining experience that builds your appreciation for the food you will eat; 2) Flawless food that will leave you talking about it for days; 3) Impeccable but personable service At the beginning of the service, the waiter will present you with three cards that let you decide what kind of experience you want - we chose the “Maverick” which meant our waiters shared lots of detail around how the dish originated, the history and the preparation + effort behind the food in front of you. You can see how passionate the staff are and it’s easy to see why. The food was flawless and flavours perfectly balanced - I couldn’t pick a favourite from what we ordered (everything was fantastic!) but if you’re dining a la carte then you can’t go wrong with the meat fruit to start your Heston experience. After hearing the waiter explain the history, thinking and effort that went behind the dish, you immediately build a greater appreciation of the food you’re eating. I wish more fine dining restaurants gave us this glimpse into the thinking of the chefs behind the scenes. In addition, I was dining with my mum who wanted her duck to be more medium than the recommended medium rare. At a normal restaurant, this usually means we are presented with a duck that is so overcooked, however the chefs cooked it perfectly medium and she’s still raving about it days later. Lastly, a big thank you to Alberto, Emmanuel and George who made our dining experience so enjoyable, personable and fun. You made it an amazing experience, an 11/10. We will be back soon!

Interesting experience of old English recipes. Spectacularly delicious food and nice ambience. I found the service a little bit too "pretentious" however. Needs to be toned down a bit. Apart from that, it was an almost perfect experience.

wonderful, worth the trip and the price. definitely fine dining but the atmosphere is not snobbish at all. so much fun and many surprises throughout the meal~ definitely try the ice cream when they ask if you’re interested!!

This was quite a let down all things considered. Ideally this would have capped our last visit to London but we found it underwhelming and decidedly not worth the price. Conceptually, it's a fascinating approach to a menu and I really looked forward to trying modernized traditional British recipes, some of which date back to the medieval period. Unfortunately, nothing we had really excited or amazed the palate. The best of the lot was the rice and flesh, a sort of risotto adjacent dish. It was tasty but nothing outstanding. We followed that up with a Filet Royal and the Powdered duck breast. The filet was fine, but that was more due to the quality of beef than anything done to it in the kitchen while the duck was a little off putting. There was a strange, almost medicinal, flavor to the sauce (cherry? I think) that diminished every bite. Also, the skin was not crispy in the least. It was flabby and a bit chewy. I did not care for it. We finished with the tipsy cake. Like most of our selection, it was fine but unremarkable. It reminded me of a pineapple upside down cake. It transported me more to 1958 rather than to 1858 as the menu claimed. One last note was the outright poor service. The waitstaff was delinquent most of the meal. Wine glasses went unfilled for long periods, no one was present to answer questions when needed, and cocktails and plates seemed to take a very long time to come out. My duck was barely warm when it arrived. This is unacceptable for a restaurant of this supposed caliber. For the £600+ we shelled out for this meal (for two people) it was one of the worst cost to quality experiences I've had in a fine dining establishment. We aren't rich. We save up for fine dining experiences when we travel so it really stings when a place under-delivers to this degree.

This was the best dining experience I have ever had! All the staff were attentive and very helpful, the cards giving you the choice about the level of information of the dish was fantastic (and I wish more places did this). The food was out of this world! I went for the 7 course taster menu to try a bit of everything. Every course looked great and tasted even better. My particular favourites were the meat fruit and the flesh and rice, and if you want a real show stopping finale to your meal, get the nitrogen ice cream, such theatre and lots of ooo's from the surrounding tables! Can't wait to come back.

Traditional British cuisine is also delicious, but it costs a lot more💰 Overall, everything was good, especially the beef cheek and truffle risotto. However, the venison part of the main meal was relatively ordinary. It should be due to the quality of the venison itself. It would be better if it was replaced with other types of meat. The dessert part is very delicious for British desserts. Unfortunately, I had lunch very late that day so I couldn't eat the dessert. I really felt guilty🙏 Overall it’s pretty good, but it’s still not as detailed as French cuisine. If you want to try Michelin-starred British cuisine, come here! PS: The bread before the meal is very unpalatable. It is recommended to eat the bread from the appetizer 🍊Chicken Liver! This bread is so delicious

Very creative but not tasty, especially the ice cream. A yeasty smell, sour and salty. The caramel is very sweet. The environment is a bit noisy, and although the waiters are friendly, I think the most important thing about Michelin is the taste. Sorry, I don't appreciate it.

A fantastic meal with some memorable food and great service. We enjoyed the 7 course tasting menu, with wine paring and the interaction with the staff (especially the sommelier) added to the experience. Our favourites were the Meat Fruit and Tipsy Cake but the salmon starter was beautiful also. Nice touch with heart shaped jammy dodgers for valentines also.

Restaurant below my expectations for a 2*. The food was OK but not exceptional. The service was friendly but messy (several servers asked the same questions several times). The atmosphere was too noisy for a restaurant of this standing (brasserie type).

Usually a Michelin-starred restaurant, we were frankly disappointed by this one. The setting is similar to a noisy brasserie, the service is really poorly coordinated (repeated questions, forgotten accompaniment...). In terms of the menu (£160 +15% service), the dishes sometimes lacked finesse (large slice of bread in the middle of the plate). As for the wine pairing, the price is incredibly excessive (£135 for the most affordable) considering the quality (we had Lillet!). I do not recommend this restaurant.

Excellent service and dining experience in the private dining room inspired by King Arthur round table

My favourite restaurant in London, the food is incredible and the staff are passionate and attentive. The energy and atmosphere with the kitchen is great to see.

Amazing experience. To start you get to pick 1 of 3 cards which decides how much of an explanation you get about the food. We went with the alacarte menu sharing dishes. For starters we got the meat fruit was fantastic. Not a fan of pate much but this was so creamy and tasty. Definitely a must recommend. We also got the rice and flesh which was like a risotto with beef, also very good. For the main I got a fillet which was very tender and soft. It came with some amazing chips with a mushroom ketchup which was delicious. My partner got a roasted version that was softer than my fillet. Both dishes were great. For dessert we got the tipsy cake. I was expecting it to be quite strong with alcohol but it wasn’t and it was probably one of best desserts we have ever had. We also got some homemade ice cream made right in front of us. It was good but after the tipsy cake we just wanted another one. Overall an amazing experience and we would recommend this place.

Very good food. Very good service. We had a good time there. Got 2 bottles of wine. Would definitely come again

Really interesting menu with things you won't get to try elsewhere. Perfect service, they even let you decide how much interaction with staff you want. The tasting menu is also superb. You're in good hands here. Can't recommend enough!

An exceptional moment spent at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal.

I've been here three times - the last two times I've been in town. I love the unusual, historic take on the menu and everything is always delicious. The staff is top notch - my waiters all had culinary aspirations and came to work for Mr. Blumenthal. Can't wait to eat there again!

Everything is great, but how expensive is it...

The tipsy cake is a huge disappointment

Absualtely amazing experience. The whole journey was great, especially with the cards. The food is really delicious. I will definitely return.

Absolutely excellent food and service from A to Z. Nothing was missed. The best meal we have had in London in recent memory.

**-Michelin restaurant that bridges classic British recipes with modern techniques

Just perfection for a birthday lunch end of 2023. Festive plum version of the iconic meat fruit, so good. My new addiction though, triple cooked chips dipped in mashed potato. My party went maverick & we will be back for more.

Excellent service, very friendly and accommodating with our new born. Main (fillet steak) was a little disappointing but the rest of the food was great.

Words are not enough ! Fantastic dinner and atmosphere! We will be back !

Chefs table was amazing. A great experience I will never forget.

We had a lovely experience at heston’s for our son’s 21st birthday! We chose the chefs table and 8 courses tasting menu. Wow ! You get to choose from 3 different experiences from the waiters / chef , essentially asking us to pick a card in relation to the level of information around each course, basically you could choose to not know and just eat without interruption through to knowing everything about the produce to that age ie 1900 of which the original recipe came from and then made into Heston style. The food from start to finish was incredible, we had a pairing wine and non alcoholic one for our son as he doesn’t drink, that was a lovely change for him as many companies do not do non alcoholic drinks and or pairings. Fantastic ! The mandarin is an experience in itself and then to bolt on viewing the chefs working and then the personal service was just incredible ! The chef Jake brought dishes over to us and explained with passion every course, that in itself was an experience of course , but his passion and clear enthusiasm for hestons turned up the experience a few notches. Thank you Jake. The drinks waiter and explanation connoisseur Nikon was just incredible , again full of passion and enthusiasm, what a lovely fella….thank you Nikos. The other waiter Paul again absolutely great with his explanation of all courses and working alongside Jake , awesome service again, thank you Paul. With regards to the food , it was all just amazing , the chefs table is a lovely experience albeit you have to be happy spending £1800 for 4 people including pairings and service charge. You then of course have your rooms so overall I would say it’s very worth it but it is a bit choppy , my opinion of course. Other than that the whole experience was incredible and impeccable. Hestons workers are clearly valued and looked after , no Gordon Ramsey shouting just calm and collected all around professionalism. Well done hestons and the team….

Amazing food and impeccable service. The building was so beautiful and everyone so welcoming, kind and attentive. Would recommend for special events :)

There are times in your life when one must treat thyself to truffle mashed potatoes. When you must devour a chocolate bar unlike any other. When your expectations must be met after a long journey. Why do we toil so hard day after day? To enjoy experiences like Dinner by Heston. The team in Knightsbridge set the standard for what it means to take pride in your work. Be dazzled and enjoy this unique meal. 100% recommended.

Rather a disappointing experience. Next to no non-alcoholic drink selection, the server seemed at a loss when I refused the offered nonalcoholic fizzy rose wine (never been a fan) and I was served a rather insipid grapefruit/ice cocktail that cost fourteen pounds but didn’t taste of a whole lot. Foodwise, the mains of duck and pigeon were divinely cooked and the tipsy cake was a glorious sweet stodgy mess. I enjoyed the mince pie petit fours, but it was disappointing that there was nothing at the start of the meal. My sherry scallop starter was a truly bizarre dish, all wrong and full of contradictory flavours. The broth would have been excellent with venison or game but completely overpowered some nicely prepared scallop. My husband had the meat fruit, which is a nice chicken parfait but hasn’t changed much in the seven years since he last ate it. Good bread but I’ve had better at many other establishments. For the price tag, definitely dated and lacking in care. Our one Irish server was lovely, but when she didn’t appear we didn’t really get much description or theatre when our dishes arrived, particularly as the restaurant was winding down.

A magical dining adventure. The food was absolutely stunning, beautifully presented and tasted sublime. The service was faultless and added greatly to the dining experience. Thank you!

Pricey but what would you expect. However the service and food match the prices. Good selection of food. Service was attentive and you can choose the level of interaction by your server. There is a bar attached to the restaurant for pre and post drinks. Overall a good night out!

This is one of the most memorable date nights we have had. Absolutely cannot fault this place one ounce and makes all the 5 star ratings I have given before not even live up to the experience we had here. From the booking to the staff and attentiveness- second to none, loved our som’s recommendations for the wine pairings. The way they handled our food allergies and my husbands intolerance was fantastic. The food was absolutely delectable and looked incredible. We didn’t take any photos we just completely enjoyed our evening. Been dreaming of coming back ever since well worth the price point.

Came for a dinner during the holiday time. So disappointed with the very overcooked beef, the overpriced menu and underwhelming service overall.

The beef cheeck and rice starter is just heavenly

Very attentive staff, great from reservation to changing to the actual lunch where I was 15 mins late. The menu is inspired by old receipts dating back 1600s which is a really cool concept. Portions are generous with lots of appealing choices. They also demo how to make nitro ice cream and it tasted so good! Great service too you get these little cards to tell the servers how much information you'd like, very considerate!

I could not honestly say that it was anything better than just alright. Upon arrival, we were told that we would not have time for the 6-course tasting menu as it was too late in the evening with no offer of accommodation or apology for the inconvenience. The first individual that served us seemed to be inexperienced and did not calibrate to our energy which further soured our first impression. In addition, the restaurant is brightly lit and does not really have any atmosphere of which to speak. We found the food itself rather unexciting. Neither of us found that any of the courses were memorable or unique. The food presentation was also quite bland. In the interest of fairness, we did both enjoy the truffle mashed potatoes but that can hardly be described as a dish of great complexity. I would not say I would likely return and am a bit mystified at the glowing reviews. There are much better options in London.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Abend mit exzellentem Essen. Alles in allem hinter bleibt ein Eindruck von perfektem Service, freundlichen und aufmerksamen Mitarbeitern und natürlich ein Genusserlebnis wie es in einem Sterne-Restaurant zu erwarten war. Ich kann den Besuch dort zweifelsfrei weiterempfehlen und jedem ans Herz legen. Die Bilder zeigen das 4-Gänge-Menü.

Nous sommes venu le 03/12, nous avons passé une superbe soirée, la cuisine et le service était parfait, un grand merci à Jordan le Sommelier.

Overrated and dated. Meat fruit is cool, but needs new ideas.

What an absolutely exquisite experience! I cannot recommend it for a special occasion enough. The team were attentive to every detail making my Husband's 40th birthday incredibly special. I don't want to share photos of the food because honestly, I think you should go and be surprised! As fans of Heston Blumenthal this was a long-time plan that had been saved up for and it did not disappoint! The set menu was well-balanced. I had the vegetarian set menu and my husband had the regular set menu. I didn't feel left out. The flavours were complimentary and the food journey matched throughout. Thank you to the entire staff for making the evening as close to perfection as I've ever seen.

Celebrated my birthday with my brother and I have to say the best food I have ever eaten. I was blown away by the flavours and combinations not to mention the presentation was outstanding.

Beautiful place friendly service and delicious food. I have tried set lunch with Hay smoked salmon for starters and slow cooked pork belly which belly pork very tender and delicious and then spiced custard tart.

Fabulous experience! Very attentive and welcoming service starting from when you entered the Mandarin Oriental hotel. The food went superbly as well, especially the Mandarin liver parfait is defo a must-try! Will re-visit this lovely 2 starred Michelin restaurant soon:)

Restaurante razoável, porém não merecedor de estrela Michelin, muito menos de duas delas, e não oferece uma experiência de alta gastronomia como promete. O ambiente é muito barulhento. O cardápio é extremamente limitado e simplório (pratos como carne com batata, sem sofisticação), carta de vinhos com variedade muito restrita.

It was my second visit (the first was around five years ago) and the restaurant remains exceptional. You just cannot fault the exquisitness of the food and the alchemy of flavours that testify to the skill and artistry of the chefs. Simply magnificent!

I booked two Michelin star Dinner by Heston for a solo dinner recently because as lovers of Chemistry, my brother and I used to enjoy watching Blumenthal on the telly with his amazing creations. Plus, I’m a fan of MO. Diners get to choose the preferred style of dining by picking one of three cards - The Adventurer; The Guide; The Maverick. The card can be changed any time. As I wanted to know what I was eating, I chose The Guide and stuck with it. I began with a glass of Billecart Salmon rosé champagne and chose the five-course tasting menu at £155. All the dishes, including the beetroot amuse bouche, the Hay Smoked Salmon and Frumenty (octopus), were delicious, but what stood out for me were the following: The famous “Meat Fruit” - it’s chicken liver that is made to look like a mandarin orange. Broken down and spread smoothly and evenly like slightly sweet pâté on a really nice piece of toast, it was absolutely yummy and truly memorable! Spiced Squab Pigeon - served with artichoke, it was done just right, and went very well with my Spanish red wine, Clos Del Portal Negre De Negres 2012. The famous “Tipsy Cake” - the pineapple was roasted for 45 hours (!), and the caramelised brioche went so very well with the sauterne and brandy sauce (gasp, no wonder it’s called “Tipsy Cake”!). Service was pleasant and attentive, but dishes took some time to be served - my solo dinner took three hours. To pass the time between dishes, I amused myself by leafing through a strategically placed coffee table tome near me called “Historic Heston Blumenthal”. And I found some of the recipes there. I would say I enjoyed my solo dinner very much. Yet it would have been even more memorable if there had been more unusual/unique creations like the Meat Fruit. Also, I thought the servers at Dinner by Heston could have provided more information about the dishes, and with greater passion and enthusiasm. For example, I honestly think the dishes and staff at one-Michelin-star Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin at the Kempinski, Bangkok (my trip in April 2023) were far more outstanding in terms of originality, creativity, dining experience and product knowledge. My recent experience of service at Le Chantecler in Nice was also superb. So maybe I’ve been spoilt.

Select atmosphere, very good service, special attention, surprising combinations. It was a very good dinner. We enjoyed ourselves.

Dinner remains one of my favourite restaurants in London, and this was my 7th visit (I believe) since it opened. A fantastic night with a group of 6 university friends, enjoying everything on the food menu and the extensive wine list. No other Michelin restaurant can do this kind of relaxed formality and so enjoyably. The staff were also incredibly patient with us - due to an unlucky sequence of events, members of the party were still arriving 1.5hours after our table was booked and we were still taken care of with enthusiasm and the utmost care. And I still can't stop eating meat fruits!

Incredible service, looked after my two young boys exceptionally well and they were well entertained by the nitrogen ice cream. Food was interesting and highly innovative based on old English recipes so different to the more European influenced modern cuisine. Treat for the whole family. Great venue and views.

The food was excellent yet again!! I tried the chicken for mains which was absolutely so tender and the meat fruit never disappoints. We were late because of a foot injury just prior to our reservation and the restaurant was very accommodating with moving our reservation by an hour and wearing slides to the restaurant to support the injury. Not the 5 stars this time for our evening because the service was a bit slow and our seating was right next to the service till. Expect for that a pleasant evening!

What a fabulous experience Outstanding food with an outstanding story.

Sadly it was not as good as when Heston had his restaurant in Melbourne Australia high prices and service spasmotic

Lá experiencia !!! No hay más que decir.

Had a pleasant evening at the Dinner by Heston at the Mandarin Oriental. Was looking forward to this for months! It was ok. It didn't live up to the expectation. Not bad, but not great. The tipsy cake was outstanding! The staff were fantastic and knowledgeable.

One of the worst Michelin star restaurants. The food was overall alright by very basic by Michelin standards. The execution of letting customers pick cards and listen to stories behind each dish was extremely poor. We felt like they were reciting from their grade school textbooks rather than having personal connections towards the British cuisine. We were dining in a loud and messy atmosphere and did not feel at ease. I do not recommend spending over 400 here for any of your special occasions.

Uno dei migliori Chef mondiali in assoluto!! Il “finto” mandarino è straordinario, di fatto ne ho ordinato un altro. Tutto veramente eccellente, una garanzia!!

Excellent experience and with wonderful atmosphere. The food was deliciousl! A must try 👌

You made me barf. The concept of us learning about the food was cool but you still gave me half cooked duck meat and made me barf.

Beautiful evening with gorgeous staff members and delicious food! Definitely worth the value you get for the quality of the food, service and drinks.

5 course tasting menu was excellent

Chicken liver parfait in the shape of an orange was sheer perfection! The steak with triple cooked chips was also in a class of its on. The waiting staff were top notch and I highly recommend this restaurant. I have visited them around 14 times.

Had a disappointing experience this evening. The staff was very good but the food was below average and not what you would expect for the cost of the meal. My advice would be to focus on the basics i.e. serving food at temperature. We will not be returning. Do your research and try the myriad of restaurants on offer here in London instead of wasting your money at this establishment. Talk about missing expectations.

Couldn't of asked for a greater final meal on my first international trip. Was extremely excited to try this place and it did not disappoint which was awesome. Really great tasting menu and wine paring and maybe one day I will be back in London and go here again!

Wanted to go for a while having read reviews etc. It did not disappoint and everything was first class. Was a little surprised about that it was a large hotel restaurant doing a lot of covers. N2 Ice cream is not in the menu but can be ordered as a little treat.

Fantastic as always. Everything is great, but I actually dream about their tipsy cake - one of the best desserts in London. Some of the best service in London too.

The restaurant was packed! Attentive service from everyone. Got a couple of aperitif at the bar. Very well concocted cocktails. When we ready for dinner, hostess politely lead us to our table, within 1 min we’re greeted by a friendly staff. As we have pre booked the coronation menu, she politely reconfirm our order as well as provide us the wine list. Our selected wine wasn’t available, but we were quickly offered with another one. No comment on food taste & quality. Every penny is well spent!!

Das Essen ist wunderbar, genau wie die Location des Restaurants. Service kompetent und zuvorkommend.

We were really looking forward to dining here as we went to The Fat Duck years ago and had an exceptional experience. This was not the case here. Dinner was fine, the service was fine, the atmospere was fine. There was nothing that made this experience special or even Michelin. In fact, my husband sent his steak back as they gave him a super tough piece. There are so many restaurants in London and I truly regret picking this one.

Full of complex tasting , fascinated by those receipts of long history for exploration …..

I will be dreaming of meat fruit for years to come.

We booked the tasting menu experience for a birthday treat for my partner. We opted for the Maverick card as we wanted the full immersive experience. Unfortunately this was hampered by the fact that we had a new member of staff serve us who was not detailing the history and origins of each dish. We asked some questions and a different waiter came over and gave us some great information, and talked at length with passion about the dish. Unfortunately this was almost the last course, and we wondered how different the experience might have been had he been there from the start. It just feels like such a lot of money to not have that level of detail throughout. I appreciate that everyone starts somewhere but when paying over £700 for a meal between 3 (wine included), it’s hard to not feel hard done by.

Never disappointed Except some dessert menu If i am a billionaire i would love to go everyday

We are huge fans of Heston Blumenthal, and had planned our visit to Dinner by Heston Blumenthal as a highlight of our visit to London. Sadly, the food and especially the service were hugely disappointing and in our view not worthy of the premium price. Our menu was missing a page, waiting staff consistently failed to return to take drink orders despite promising to do so, didn't know what cheeses had been brought to the table (!!!!) and we received very little information about some of our courses, despite asking for a full description. The first course was fantastic - but there was sadly little to commend about the subsequent courses, which seemed to lack in inventiveness. The end of meal petits fours arrived on a bed of cocoa nibs about which we were told - "I have no idea what they are, but they are definitely not edible so don't eat them" and then "I'll be back to take your tea order" - neither of these statements was true. All places have an off day, but this was by far the most expensive event we undertook and what we'd hoped would be the highlight of our holiday turned out to be a costly error in judgement. We love what Heston has done for food, but sadly just can't recommend Dinner as a place to go.

We had the best dining experience! We went for lunch and the wait staff were superb. Best bread, delicious foods.

Some bits excellent, some not so good. Good concept, waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and very jolly. Expensive. Steak verging on the too salty to be edible. Pigeon very rich and very pink, nauseatingly so at times. It could have done with some veg to counterbalance. I assumed they would be included for the £56; but no, it's another tenner for some broccoli. Tipsy Tart was excellent, but the amount of pineapple could have been more generous for £25. Starter £25 Mains £55 2x sides £20 Pud £25 Wine, the cheapest starts at £17 for 125ml, and rises very steeply after that. Water £7. So that's £149 pp with just the the one small glass. Luckily I wasn't in a wine drinking mood. I think some beers would have been more suited to these old English dishes but there didn't seem to be any on offer. I'd like to go back, but I think I'd skip the mains, have a couple of starters and a portion of the triple cooked chips, which were fantastic, and maybe the dessert.

Shared an amazing Chefs table tasting (with wine accompaniment) experience with our fabulous friends. I have to say I was a little dubious about the value of this tasting / Dinner experience before the day and was apprehensive about the day hitting my expectations as a result of the price tag. I needn't have worried. 3 hours 40 spent at the table. Regular introductions to the courses and wines and interaction with the team their. Got to see and hear about the creation of each course. The food itself was sublime. An amazing experience. If you get the opportunity then you should jump at it!

Was excited to try this out and booked far in advance. The bread they gave us was cold which was quite off putting. The food got better as we ate through the meal. The meat fruit which I was anticipating was alright. The stars of the meal were the desserts.

Il locale si trova all’interno del mandarin oriental con vista su Central Park. Abbiamo approfittato del menu pranzo che ha dimensioni contenute ma ti permette di apprezzare lo stile culinario. È disponibile anche un menu “a la carte”. Il personale è preparato, l’accoglienza amichevole e hai la possibilità di scegliere quanta interazione vuoi nella presentazione dei piatti.. noi abbiamo voluto tutti i dettagli perché ognuno aveva una storia particolare. L’antipasto mi ha rapito il cuore pane e patè di fegato che avrei continuato a mangiare all’infinito. Ottimo!

The cod, and beans side, are spectacular. Truffle appetizer was boring. Probably the best chef in London, technically excellent, but particularly notable for his grasp of historical British recipes.

Tried this restaurant. Better then expected..

Fabulous experience with a beautiful touch of history. Staff are wonderfully knowledgeable and extremely polite. The tasting menu is an excellent choice.

Excellent food service and ambiance.. Special dishes you won't find in standard restaurants... Creative cooking and overall great experience! Highly recommended

相比fat duck 性价比很高。又在伦敦市里，价格也只有肥鸭的一半。有时间可以来试试。

Amazing British food. The meat fruit is sososo good. Must try

Disgusting food, what a shame, overall a terrible experience, food just looked good and taste was awful, terrible wait between courses, cold dishes and my main was just fat and they got it wrong 2 times And I had to send it back, after all that I canceled my main, but they charged me for it. Will I go again: Never Food : 1/10 Service : 1/10 Value for money : 5/10 ( if everything was good ) Price : £450 for two

I travelled from Australia with great anticipation for this 250 pound experience. Food was excellent service was good but the sommelier over sold the wine by the glass for a non expert.

Fine dining experience, 2 stars casual restaurant with best service in town. Steak was exceeding my expectation with best side dish: carrots and chips, simple but delicious. Fish dish were awesome too! Highly recommended

Not really sure what has put this Michelin giant off their game, but it was not a magical lunch. Service had the staff numbers, but not the execution: plates weren’t cleared, our wine glasses were left dry & the bottle was not near us, even the water glasses didn’t get refilled. Wine was excellent, when we had it in our glass to enjoy. Ploughman’s was nice with excellent potted livers, but the bread should be better. Plaice was a very generous portion of fish, but just not all that tasty. Fillet of Hereford Beef & Sauce Vert was cooked fine, but completely overwhelmed by the mint of the sauce. Mixed Leaf salad had little flavor other the the handful of nice little tomatoes. For £400, I want to feel transcendently refreshed. We were not. You can’t beat that garden space for al fresco dining, though. It’s truly soothing in the heart of London. Also, you can never get tired of the triple-cooked chips.

Très bon, plats très bien présentés.
