About the list

The tasting menu is an art form and a complicated business model. Only a few restaurants have opened in the last few years with exclusively tasting menu offerings. However, I believe this format is one that we should embrace and support. London is a melting pot of cultures, and you can find tasting menus featuring food from all around the world while focusing on highlighting the best local produce available.

Here are some of my favourite restaurants where I have spent my special occasions in the last few years.

One of the biggest references [for] British cuisine, located in the heart of Shoreditch. Chef Isaac from Scotland brings dishes inspired by his home to the table in a very fun and contemporary way. I’d suggest having the wine pairing.

Australian chef Brett [Graham] created an institution for fine-dining restaurants in London, particularly because of the precise way he works with game. He’s a reference for the ‘role of a chef outside the restaurant,’ focusing on farming and foraging.

Hélène Darroze creates a beautiful atmosphere in her restaurant, balancing luxury and warm hospitality. She makes you feel at home as soon as you go in. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate French and British cuisine than in her restaurant.
