The Best Restaurants for Wine Lovers in London

1890 by Gordon Ramsay

London, United Kingdom

1 Michelin star

Inside The Savoy, 1890 by Gordon Ramsay occupies a ten-table room named for Auguste Escoffier, who arrived at the hotel in that same year. A surprise tasting menu draws on Escoffier's classical repertoire, reworked through modern technique, and earned a Michelin star in 2024. Friday and Saturday lunches offer a shorter four-course format for those who prefer a compressed experience.

A. Wong

London, United Kingdom

2 Michelin stars

The first Asian restaurant outside Asia to hold two Michelin stars, A. Wong occupies a modest Pimlico address where Andrew Wong's 30-course evening menu draws from every Chinese province. Lunch remains accessible with à la carte dim sum, but the real draw is the night-time tasting format, which has reshaped expectations for Chinese cooking in Europe since 2012.

Angler

London, United Kingdom

1 Michelin star

A Michelin-starred seafood restaurant on the seventh floor of South Place Hotel in the City, Angler takes British coastal produce — Orkney scallops, Newlyn cod, wild turbot — and treats it with the kind of spare precision that lets quality speak for itself.

Blandford Comptoir

London, United Kingdom

A Marylebone neighbourhood institution with deep French roots, Blandford Comptoir trades in convivial bistro cooking, a Rhône-weighted wine list, and a room that feels simultaneously squeezed and generous. Xavier Rousset's address on Blandford Street sits apart from the formal dining circuit, offering sharing plates, côte de boeuf, and by-the-glass selections that reward those who linger over the separately printed glass list.

Bob Bob Ricard

London, United Kingdom

Bob Bob Ricard's Soho dining room trades in Art Deco drama, marble-topped booths, and a menu that runs from caviar to beef Wellington with a distinct Anglo-Russian accent.

Clos Maggiore

London, United Kingdom

Wine Spectator Grand Award

A Covent Garden fixture with Michelin Plate recognition and one of London's most serious wine lists, Clos Maggiore occupies a particular niche in the city's French dining scene: seasonal, French-inspired cooking in a room that earns its reputation for atmosphere rather than spectacle. The conservatory with its retractable roof draws consistent demand; the 7,550-bottle cellar, strong in Burgundy and Bordeaux, does the rest.

Holding a Michelin Plate and ranked 169th in Opinionated About Dining's Classical Europe list for 2024, the restaurant at 28 Upper Grosvenor Street works a formula that resists current trends toward minimalism — forager-sourced ingredients, extravagantly constructed mains, and a wine list that earned a Star Wine List White Star recognition.

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
