The Lanesborough Grill in City of London, Westminster

Expensive but worth every minute the food was spectacular

Beautiful and elegant enviroment, excellent service and food wonderful, very tasty and presented with awesome style. We had a lovely experience. Highly recommend it and for special ocasions.

While the restaurant exhibits flashes of sophistication, the overall experience left much to be desired, particularly for a venue positioning itself as a destination for luxury dining. The evening began with a cold tomato soup that, while vibrant and refreshing, suffered from an imbalance in execution. The addition of olives, while clearly intended to add depth, was far too heavy-handed, leaving the dish overly salty and detracting from its delicate freshness. The gnocchi, unfortunately, was a significant disappointment. Presented as a minimalist dish, it arrived as a mere eight pieces, bereft of sauce and, worse, served lukewarm. Gnocchi demands warmth and a complementary element—be it a sauce, butter —to elevate its texture and flavor. This dish felt unfinished, as though it had bypassed a critical stage of preparation. The dessert, a “chocolate slice,” fell flat as well. Its overly sweet, cloying profile felt more akin to a mass-market chocolate than the indulgent, sophisticated finale one expects in such a setting. Dessert is often the highlight of a fine dining experience, but here it served only to underscore the meal’s lack of finesse. Beyond the food, the atmosphere had its own inconsistencies. The live music, while a welcome touch, was simply too loud for comfortable conversation, detracting from the intended ambiance of understated elegance. Furthermore, I couldn’t help but notice details in the decor—such as scratch marks on the walls—that felt incongruous with the restaurant’s otherwise polished aesthetic. Such oversights are surprising in a venue of this caliber. Considering the brand, I expected a meticulously curated and flawless experience. I did not. That said, I hope to return in the future and see the restaurant rise to the level its aspirations suggest

Delicious afternoon tea sandwiches (with unlimited refills), but I wasn't as impressed with their teas or Bridgerton theming. I made a reservation on Sunday at 4:30 pm to celebrate my mom's retirement. When I had booked several monthes back, the reservation mentioned that champagne was included, however, this is not the case while they're serving festive tea. Instead, a twist on a margarita cocktail or non alcoholic blooming wallflower drink is included. The cocktail was delicious and quite cute with a coconut edge and feather sticking out of the cherry. For tea, my mom and I ordered the Bridgerton blend and my dad ordered the Lanesborough breakfast tea. We did not like the Bridgerton blend, so my mom ordered the Lanesborough breakfast tea instead and I ordered the white choco chili tea, which tasted much better! The sandwiches were the highlight of the tea, and included turkey cranberry, egg, cucumber, and smoked salmon. There was also a traditional mince pie included. They came by with refills of all four sandwiches. The scones arrived warm with clotted cream, lemon curd, and raspberry preserve. The desserts were my mom's least favorite part of the tea. I thought they were fine but a few seemed to taste very similar. In regards to the theme, I was not wowed. The desserts were named after characters from Bridgerton in the menu but that seemed to be the extent of the theming. The desserts looked like they could have been part of any holiday teas rather than a Bridgerton tea. Perhaps the regular tea is more themed.

I had booked a dinner reservation for me and my wife as we haven’t dined at the Lanesborough hotel before. However due to unforeseen circumstances with my wife going into labour I had to cancel, I informed them asap and sent an email as this was completely out of our control and we had every intention of attending. This isn’t something I would lie about however instead of the hotel being accommodating they still charged me 50% for this which is very unfortunate. Going forward I won’t be recommending this venue to dine at as they aren’t accommodating and that already has set the expectation of the venue. The Dorchester is not only luxurious but the food is exceptional and the service is always outstanding they are also very accommodating in regards to bookings.

I recently visited Lanesborough Grill with my best friends to try their three-course festive menu, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The evening began with warm bread and butter—simple, yet comforting and fresh. For starters, I had the terrine of duck and corn-fed chicken paired with a laminated truffle roll. The combination was rich and indulgent, with the truffle adding a luxurious touch. My main course was the cod and shrimps, which was the highlight of the meal for me. The dish was beautifully presented, and the flavors were perfectly balanced—delicate yet flavorful. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into crafting this plate. To end the meal, I had the honeycomb and caramel yule log for dessert. It was a sweet, festive finale that felt indulgent without being overly heavy—a perfect way to conclude the evening. The service at Lanesborough Grill truly stood out. Both the waitstaff and the sommeliers were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, enhancing our experience significantly. The restaurant itself exudes warmth and coziness, making it an ideal spot for a special festive meal. Overall, Lanesborough Grill delivers not just in terms of food but also ambiance and service. I’d highly recommend their festive menu for anyone looking to celebrate the season with elegance and flavor.

Amazing service - very clean and all staff were very friendly and accommodating! Would definitely recommend!

The food at The Lanesborough Grill is absolutely peeng! Every bite was bursting with flavor, and you can tell they use the freshest and highest-quality ingredients. The dishes were not only delicious but also presented beautifully – almost too good to eat (but trust me, you’ll want to dive in!). I will give 10000 Stars The atmosphere is something else – classy and elegant, yet still comfortable and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can truly relax and enjoy the moment. The decor is stunning, with a touch of sophistication that makes it perfect for a special occasion or just treating yourself to something amazing.

Best food I had in a while I definitely recommend to eat. Here and the staff was fantastic

Refined Cuisine. Had an amazing experience. Will visit again.

The staff is very attentive and helpful, the cook is the highest level

Lovely place, great food, excellent staff, very polite. Would eat here again.

Great service,food is amazing and the stuff are really friendly. Highly recommend, can’t wait to go back there.

I loved getting to know this place, not to mention the spectacular cuisine, I will definitely go back again, it has become my favorite restaurant ❤️

This place is amazing great food great atmosphere I recommend it to everyone

The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and the [mention unique feature, e.g., dessert menu or drink pairings] was a delightful touch. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a night out, this is the spot to be. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Excellent service and atmosphere. We also really liked the food (we tried all the options from the Festive set menu), highly recommended.

Great venue,great food, great experience

Extremely yummy food. suggest to anyone looking for an exquisitely yummy place to eat.

We had Michelin set menu today. Superb service, fantastic food and reasonable price for what we got. This is a very good experience. Loved it! Champagne was amazing. I also got a champagne cocktail. It was also great. Crab Macaroni was fantastic. Beef Wellington was super tender. I also really enjoyed the dessert and the after dessert gift sweets. Amazing overall.

Excellent. Amazing food, superb service, beautiful ambience. The meal and bread with butter outstanding well worth the experience. From the entrance to the wait staff the service was pleasant. As a delightful surprise, they treated us to a complimentary dessert. 🤩

We had a great experience at our Afternoon Tea at the Lanesborough. There was a hiccup with our drinks order, but the staff especially Francesco, the manager went above and beyond to ensure we have a fabulous time overall.

Wonderful food, great service and an atmosphere of elegance and luxury. Lovely to hear the pianist play. The Bridgerton afternoon tea was a success.

Amazing as always. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely tasteless and expensive. We went for lunch today. The starters were decent, but the main course, the meat, was terrible. It was tough to chew, hard to cut, and of very poor quality. The desserts were bland. We didn’t enjoy anything at all. It’s a real shame about the money and time wasted. Half an hour later, we barely made it to the restroom; on top of everything, we got food poisoning

An Afternoon tea to celebrate Queen Charlotte event, Wonderful experience. Valeters took care of my vehicle as well.

Truly exceptional - staff, food and experience.

Beautiful setting. Okay food. Little atmosphere. Meal for 2 with a couple glasses wine each was nearly £400 as a special treat it was not worth the money.

Had booked the Bridgerton afternoon tea for myself and the staff were really accommodating as I had my walking stick. The sandwiches were lovely, and the desserts were too pretty to eat (but were throughly enjoyed) Could not fault the service as I had my tea + water topped up, asking which dessert was my favourite and also chatting about the hotel cat Lilibet who I had met in the lobby. The setting is stunning as well which did make the afternoon tea that more regal. Would love to come here again.

We booked for dinner at the Lanesborough and chose the set menu. Top customer service and food quality was exceptional. Would recommend this establishment for dining experience.

Went for Bridgerton Afternoon Tea. They were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions so well! Truly above and beyond. The sandwiches were flavorful and moist. The scones were fresh baked. The pastries so gorgeous. The service was top tier, they made it such a joy to spend a few hours sipping tea. The unlimited sandwiches and scones, tea and coffee made this an incredible deal. I will certainly be recommending and returning!

Food, service, ambience, everything was amazing

OH MY GOODNESS. How beautiful is this beautiful restaurant. I was absolutely stunned and could not keep my eye away from all the intriguing details. And the customer service was beyond welcoming, everyone we encountered during our Afteroon Tea was so pleasant and wholesome. Very special people working here. We were excited to enjoy the Bridgerton Afternoon Tea. The execution and details were so fun and accurate, from the moment you are welcomed with a letter from Lady Whistledown to all the personalized details of the menu items. And the quality of the food and drinks were fantastic. I would have to say the Lanesborough tea was my personal favorite tea but we thoroughly enjoyed all of the savory and sweet sandwiches and pastries. The scones were probably the best scones I have ever had! One of the highlights of my trip to London!

Delicious food, very attentive staff

Bad service!! Title: A Disappointing Afternoon Tea Experience I recently the Lanesborogh for afternoon tea, and I must say, it was an incredibly disappointing experience. The service was subpar. Our server seemed disinterested and inattentive, which set the tone for the rest of our visit. The tea selection was mediocre, and the presentation of the food left much to be desired. The sandwiches were dry, the scones were crumbly, and the pastries were far from fresh. However, the most egregious part of our visit was how our leftover food was handled. After struggling through the underwhelming spread, we decided to take the remaining food home. To our dismay, the staff packed all our leftovers together in a single container. This meant that our delicate pastries were squished against the sandwiches, resulting in a soggy, unappetizing mess. The scones, which we hoped to salvage, were crushed under the weight of the other items. This careless packaging not only ruined what little enjoyment we could have had from the leftovers but also demonstrated a lack of consideration for food quality and customer satisfaction. Today was my mum’s birthday and she was still making her wish and blowing out the candle until we were interrupted by staff holding the bill next to us, completely ruining the moment. It's clear that this restaurant does not pay attention to detail or prioritize their customers' experiences. Overall, our visit was a letdown. The lackluster food, poor service, and appalling way they handled our leftovers ensure that we won't be returning. I would not recommend this place to anyone seeking a pleasant afternoon tea experience.

Exceptional lunch served in a stylish environment. Great experience!

Absolutely superb ! - Travelzoo voucher From the moment we walked into the restaurant the service was impeccable. The sommelier came up with an excellent red wine ( and end of evening cocktail ) within our budget and the staff were helpful and extremely friendly. The food was tasty and the fish was cooked to perfection. May thanks to Husna and all the team at the Grill for making us feel very welcome

Great food and service in my birthplace. Still waiting for the blue plaque.

Lovely restaurant, perfect service and great food. The set menu is good value and a nice range of choices. Will definitely come back

Beautifully presented, decorative food. The starters were wonderfully dressed, full of flavour and colour, whilst the mains and desserts were delicious and again well presented, all delightfully served by the attentive staff. Ideal for enjoying a three-course lunch without it feeling too heavy or over-indulgent; these dishes seem light yet substantial at the same time, Don't skip on dessert - this literally is the cherry on top!

We had a truly lovely time at the Lanesborough Grill. We were greeted warmly by staff members on entering and that warmth continued throughout our visit. The ambience is luxurious, the grill is beautifully decorated and along with the sumptuous furnishings offers a comfortable and relaxed experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the wine was superb. As you might guess, we enjoyed a really fabulous visit to the Lanesborough Grill.

Beautiful dinner with my family, perfect service proper for a luxury restaurant in a luxury hotel.

Although food and service was great, it was marred by a plastic strip found in the onion bread

Beautiful place, very chic, with excellent cuisine and a nice wine list, impeccable service.

Absolutely wonderful afternoon tea, friendly attentive staff, will definitely return.

Excellent restaurant!! The dishes are excellent and the service very friendly and attentive.. Thank you for the welcome 😊

Excellent service and good. 👍🏻 good place for lunch and tea.

The staff were amazing and very friendly. The food however was absolutely shocking. I would go so far as to say it was probably the worst meal I have ever eaten. Actually not eaten because I couldn't eat it. It is was under cooked bland and utterly disgusting

Absolutely amazing place. Food was perfect and the staff were very attentive. The rooms were delightful too with a calming ambiance. Brought my daughter here for a special occasion and she really enjoyed every moment. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

What a truly wonderful hotel / restaurant. The staff were so pleasant & accommodating. Would highly recommend a visit.

Steps away from Buckingham Palace, The Lanesborough is a Regency style hotel located at Hyde Park Corner in London's Knightsbridge. The afternoon tea in The Lanesborough Grill is not to be missed. I thoroughly enjoy the tea. The food was excellent, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was spectacular.

A beautiful room and the perfect setting for afternoon tea. The staff were all super attentive and the vibe was really serene. The cakes were good but the real star of the show was the finger sandwiches, I actually ordered more! Price-wise, it's what you'd expect for afternoon tea at a hotel in London and stepping through the doors felt like stepping into an oasis on a busy Saturday. Would defo recommend for afternoon tea!

This hotel grill was amazing food to die for .The three course we had were out of this world for taste and presentation was super the pudding was the best I’ve ever had we will be going back this year as was so good

No words needed. Simply exquisite.

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

Last minute booking on a Friday night. Unfortunately they ran out of the beef Wellington but what we did have was lovely Beef tartare was v tasty - and elected to have the Dover sole for mains. My other half selecting the scallops and venison which he said were very good Good wine list - some random years but overall not bad Lovely service from the team from start to finish - will def be back!

Was unable to redo starter which was crab and had lots of shallots on it. They couldn't serve it without shallots. Other restaurant chefs have been able to adapt.

We went for a sunday roast for my father's birthday. They gave my father a birthday card when we got there which I thought was a nice touch. The starter was amazing. O cant fault it. I had the potted salmon - highly recommend! The cheeses were delicious but were ruined by the fruity crackers that accompanied them. The roast was disappointing, especially after reading such good reviews. There was barely any gravy, the horseradish just tasted like cream, the yorkshire puddings were spongy and thick, and we only were served 2 thin slices of cold beef. The service was impeccable and the pianist was amazing but the actual restaurant lacked atmosphere and it wasn't as busy as I was expecting.

If you're looking for a real treat then this is it.

Exquisite. Food and service Michelin listed for good reason.

Indulging in flavors that make life delicious, great service highly recommended.

Fabulous meal, in lovely surroundings, served by professional staff all of whom had lovely dispersions and lovely sense of humours...... Oh, and the pianist was fabulous too.... I would recommend it to anyone in the area to try...👍

Overpriced and their Turkey dinner awful. Drinks well mixed - at a price...

This is definitely my favourite place for lunch in London. We are always so well looked after. The staff are amazing - so warm and welcoming every time . Add to that the beautiful setting and the yummy food. Just perfect every time. Thank you all.

Very tasty. The place is so beautiful

Festive afternoon tea with friends in this beautiful hotel. Food was amazing and staff couldn't be more courteous. This was my third visit and I would definitely rate it as one of the best I've had.

A wonderful experience. Exceptional service, warmth of greeting. Nothing too much trouble and a feeling we were cared about.

We booked lunch for my boyfriend's birthday in September and they gave him nice card. The interior was fantastic and romantic. The presentation was lovely, the food was really tasty. The bread to start was my favourite, our mains were tender, and the confections was a nice way to end our lunch. Had an overall pleasant time, would visit again.

Light fish starters followed by turkey wellington was a great twist on seasonal favourites. Friendly staff and a calm atmosphere made it a perfect place to catch up with an old friend.

We had the festive set menu lunch and it was excellent. The turkey was super tender.

Wonderful dinner at the Grill. We booked their set festive menu for our anniversary. The room is spectacular. Glorious and grand but not stuffy or too traditional. Service was just perfect - what you expect from a top dining experience. And the 3-course menu for £55 a person is beyond. You spend that much on food per person at your basic high street chain restaurant. We had cheddar tarts, caramelised brioche and butter, duck liver pate, turkey wellingtons, chocolate brownies and Christmas pudding. Everything was prepared to the highest level and delicious. But nicely sized portions and just enough pomp and circumstance you get with fine dining. They even brought a card and extra dessert for us to celebrate our anniversary. And the cocktails were spot on. What you expect from a 5-star hotel bar. Interestingly, we went to the brand new Peninsula Hotel next door for drinks beforehand. The Brooklands bar at the top was a lovely space with great drinks and views, so I recommend that as well. But overall, the Peninsula felt like a generic luxury hotel without character or history, whereas The Lanesborough was just spectacular from its heritage, design, Christmas decorations, and staff; everything was amazing. I normally go for more modern hotels, but considering all the buzz about the Peninsula, I will say I was disappointed. I will take The Lanesborough any day. What a treat! Thanks to their amazing team.

We had the festive set menu which was fantastic. The turkey wellington was a standout dish. Christmas roast expectations will never be the same now! The team was so good and attentive without being overbearing, the manager Zilbehar and Rebecca were outstanding.

Geweldige plek voor een afternoon tea. Personeel is super vriendelijk, prachtige lobby en alles in kerstsfeer. Je voelt je zo helemaal thuis. Patisserie is bijzonder smaakvol, lust voor het oog

Exceptionnel, un service de qualité et des plats succulents.

Underwhelming afternoon tea experience. Went for afternoon tea today and spent 95£ for dry sandwiches, coffee tasking tea and average service. Was expecting so much more from this renowned afternoon tea. The reason I’m giving 2 starts instead of 1 is because the decorations were beautiful for Christmas. I wouldn’t recommend. Save your money and time and choose another afternoon tea.

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.

It was a fantastic experience overall. The ambiance is very elegant and intimate with the chandeliers, low light and music. The food was creative yet familiar, it was an experience on it’s own. Our palate were blown away by the lamb, soft tender and flavourful. The cherry on top for us was the service we received from the staff, highly mention Uzman and Giorgia who were very attentive to our needs the whole time. They were witty, polite and kind to us whilst dinning and took care of us very well. I will recommend dinning here and we will definitely come back.

We had the most fantastic time at the hotel yesterday. There were four of us, the food was very good, well presented and in the most beautiful setting. The staff were lovely and friendly, very welcoming and attentive, the customer service was faultless, which is rare nowadays. All of us said we would not hesitate to go back to the The Lanesborough again, a very memorable day.

Everything you should expect in a five stars restaurant. A pity they don't serve individual portions of Wellington, but that's the norm on these places. The Grouse is highly recommend, easily the best dish in my London stay.

Always an excellent experience. The well composed food, perfect wine suggestions, lovely atmosphere and not least nice, professional, very welcoming service.

My husband and I had the most wonderful lunch today, from the set menu. Everything was superb, and the service was fantastic. Incredibly good value and such a lovely experience. Thankyou so much to everyone at the Lanesborough for an unforgettable occasion. Can't wait to come back!

Wonderful people and lovely food

Great service, delicious Michelin star food and had a great host #lilibetthecat ❤️

Had the 3 course meal deal which was excellent from the start to the finish all food was 5star the restaurant Room was something else all the staff are an asset to the hotel if you're looking for a special experience this is the place to Go

Excellent afternoon tea. Do be sure to remove the tea bags from the pots after a minute so the tea doesn't get bitter.

Amazing settings, great service. Bridgeton tea was fabulous 👌

Just top notch all round. Sunday lunch to remember, with excellent food, excellent wines, excellent service and excellent ambience, complete with Brian, the excellent pianist (we’ll say hello to Churchtown for you!). Guess what, we think it was excellent…! Properly 5 star deluxe.

My mother and I had a wonderful dinner at the Lanesborough. The service from all the staff was impeccable, from the concierge who looked after us wonderfully upon arrival, to Lilbet who directed us through reception...ahem. The menu choice was excellent, it was delicious and perfectly proportioned. In particular the wine options were extraordinary - we dine regularly in central London, and the Lanesborough's wine cellar is in particularly excellent. We loved it and will be back again very soon, so thank you for a wonderful evening.

Everything about our experience was excellent. Edmund- the concierge was excellent and made us feel incredibly welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. He guided us to the bar where we had excellent cocktails served by Sandro and I believe a gentleman called Michael gave us a bit of history on the Lanesborough. Dinner was top notch. Not only was the dining room gorgeous but the food was balanced, exquisitely prepared and tasted amazing! The crab, Wellington and lemon tart were sensational. The sommelier was kind and helped us pick a nice wine. My mum and I had some horrible luck with restaurants this week when she was over visiting. We really needed a win. So glad that we chose to come here. It is great to still see a place that delivers great food and excellent service in a gorgeous setting. Please go!

Great atmosphere and staff! Excellent quality food! 👌

AMAZING Afternoon Tea!! The staff is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about gluten free options and they take every precaution to ensure there is no cross-contamination. I made the Celiac designation in my reservation for afternoon tea and the staff was prepared to serve me gluten free sandwiches, scones, and dessert. 75 Euros was well worth the price for unlimited selection of teas and sandwiches. Amazing afternoon tea experience - highly recommend!!

I absolutely adored this hotel, me and my Mum visited for the set menu lunch and it was faultless! Sea trout was cooked to perfection, the complimentary bread was so flavoursome, and the dessert quite possibly one of the best I've ever had (which is a lot!). From the moment you arrive, everyone is on hand to escort you to where you need to be, very welcoming and nothing is too much for them. Interior is beautiful, very traditional. Thank you to the entire hospitality team at the Lanesborough for making us feel special, I look forward to returning in the near future!

Visited for the Bridgerton themed afternoon tea. It was excellent, as we're staff abd service. Would recommend.

An amazingly elegant afternoon tea location. The staff was like something out of an English movie and the dining area was inside a majestic Victorian solarium. The tea and sandwiches and pastries were amazing and the service was equal to the surroundings.

Food wasn't amazing for the price. Lots of surcharges Bill comes with a 15% tip added

We had the gluten free afternoon tea. The seating area itself is bright and makes you feel comfortable right away. The ambiente is a big plus. The sandwiches were ok, a little bit bland, missing sometimes a little salt. The gluten free scopnes were nice, I loved the lemon curd that the scones were served with. And the cakes were really good - i dont remember the name, but the blue one was totally outstanding! Overall a not cheap experience with semi good sandwiches, but good cake and ambiente AND gluten free!

Had an excellent three course menu - booked through OpenTable, would recommend! Sophisticated interior and experienced staff.

An absolutely wonderful experience , truly worth their Michelin Star ! The ambiance was delicate and comfortable with soothing music and deep cushioned seating. The servers were attentive with impeccable manners and clearly took pride in their work.

I had a great birthday lunch with my wife. We enjoyed a delightful 3 course meal in very nice surroundings. The service was excellent and one of the waiters explained the origins of the Lanesborough, which at one point had been a hospital which later moved to St George's in Tooting, hence the Lanesborough Wing at St George's. The dining area was actually the hospitals operating theatre. Forgive the distraction... back to lunch, the food was amazing as anticipated. For starters we had cured scottish salmon and a pressed terrine of truffle corn fed chicken with a cheddar brioche roll. For mains we had Suffolk belly pork and sea trout. For dessert we had a Rich Manhan chocolate cake with brandy ice cream. And for afters some petit fours. Recommended and all very delicious 😋

Juste magnifique, aussi bien dans l’assiette que le lieu.
