Santiago Lastra’s guide to London’s best tasting menus
About the list
Amazing representation of best-in-class Chinese fine dining, with the best dim sum I’ve ever tried.
This is a beautiful restaurant. Jeremy uses very creative flavour combinations that will always surprise and inspire you. The sake pairing is unbelievable.
The Clove Club
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.
Endo at The Rotunda
This beautiful restaurant has a gorgeous omakase bar at the top of the Television Centre. If you’re in London, you can’t miss this delicious and fun menu. Please try the sake!
The Ledbury
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.
Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London at The OWO
Mauro Colagreco brings some of his incredible food straight from Mirazur to the city, seen through a British lens, focusing on the best seasonal ingredients.
Kitchen Table
Chef James Knappett creates creative and surprising food, offering an immersive experience in a wonderful location. The restaurant focuses on the best seafood in the country.
Hélène Darroze at The Connaught
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.
Chef James Lowe is one of the most talented British chefs and a leader in the new British cuisine movement. He creates some of the most elegant dishes by working with small farms around the UK.
Aulis London
Very innovative food, being the test kitchen of Simon Rogan. I highly recommend this beautiful chef’s table counter restaurant.
