Star Wine List Restaurants 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.

64 Goodge Street

London, United Kingdom

1 Michelin star

Sister to Michelin-starred Portland and Clipstone, 64 Goodge Street is a French bistro operating in the compact, ingredient-led register that defines Fitzrovia's smarter dining rooms. British Racing Green walls, candlelit tables, and a semi-open kitchen set the tone for classical French cooking that leans on bold, gutsy combinations without losing its grip on technique. The wine list's 'Cellar List' tier is among the more carefully assembled in the neighbourhood.

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.

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

London, United Kingdom

3 Michelin stars

Three Michelin stars since 2010 and a 95-point La Liste score in 2025, Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester remains London's clearest argument for classical French cooking as a living discipline. Chef Jean-Philippe Blondet leads a kitchen where Ducasse's 'naturalité' philosophy meets rigorous technical execution, served five evenings a week inside The Dorchester on Park Lane.

Apricity

London, United Kingdom

Among Mayfair's more conspicuous spending, Apricity on Duke Street makes its case quietly: bare plaster walls, café-scale tables, and a low-waste kitchen led by Chantelle Nicholson and Eve Seemann. The Michelin Green Star holder and two-time Star Wine List number-one sits in a niche London has been building toward — seasonal British produce, regeneratively sourced ingredients, and a wine list aligned with biodiversity-focused growers.

Aulis London

London, United Kingdom

1 Michelin star

A 12-seat chef's table in a Soho alleyway, Aulis London distils Simon Rogan's L'Enclume ethos into a 15-course tasting menu built around produce from the group's organic Cartmel farm. Holding a Michelin star and ranked 151st in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2024, it operates Tuesday through Saturday at £195 per person with no printed menu.

Benares

London, United Kingdom

1 Michelin star

Benares holds a Michelin star on Berkeley Square, where Chef Sameer Taneja works through a menu that presses Indian tradition into contemporary territory. The room reads more Mayfair private members' club than subcontinental restaurant, and the cooking matches that register — dishes like oyster vindaloo and tandoor-cooked fallow deer sit alongside murg makhani and a wine list nudging 400 bottles.

Also recognized by Opinionated About Dining, Star Wine List, The Good Food Guide

Bonheur

London, United Kingdom

2 Michelin stars

Bonheur occupies a quietly assured position in Mayfair's fine dining tier, where chef Matt Abé's eight consecutive years of three-Michelin-star performance at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay place him among a small cohort of chefs with sustained critical recognition at that level. The room on Upper Brook Street carries subtle Australian inflections in its décor, grounding an otherwise classically European fine dining format in something more personal.

Brat

London, United Kingdom

1 Michelin star

A Michelin-starred East London address where Basque fire-cooking techniques meet British seasonal ingredients, Brat sits above Redchurch Street in a former pub space that has become one of London's most decorated casual dining rooms. Ranked 65th on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2024 and a multiple Star Wine List of the Year winner, the turbot-centred menu draws on Wales, the Basque Country, and lumpwood charcoal in equal measure.

Bull & Last

London, United Kingdom

A sympathetically refurbished Victorian pub on Highgate Road, Bull & Last holds a Michelin Plate and consecutive Opinionated About Dining rankings for cooking that takes traditional British pub food seriously without abandoning the things that make a pub a pub. Generous portions, a lively ground-floor bar, a quieter first-floor dining room, and overnight rooms make it a complete address in north London.

CORE by Clare Smyth

London, United Kingdom

3 Michelin stars

CORE by Clare Smyth sits at the formal end of London's Modern British movement, where the old promise of local produce has been pushed from pub comfort into tasting-menu precision. Clare Smyth's Notting Hill restaurant has La Liste 2026 recognition at 98 points, National Restaurant Awards Top 100 placement, Star Wine List accreditation, and a cooking style that gives British vegetables the same status usually reserved for luxury seafood and game.

1 Michelin star

Cornus holds a Michelin star and a place in La Liste's top restaurants (82pts, 2026), operating from the Eccleston Yards development on the edge of Belgravia.

Corrigan's Mayfair

London, United Kingdom

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.

London, United Kingdom

2 Michelin stars

Da Terra occupies a refurbished Edwardian town hall in Bethnal Green, where chef Rafael Cagali holds two Michelin stars for a international tasting menu that consistently polls among London's highest-rated.

London, United Kingdom

1 Michelin star

Dorian arrived in Notting Hill in 2022 with a Michelin star following by 2024 and a position inside the top 70 of Opinionated About Dining's Casual Europe ranking by 2025.

Dovetale

London, United Kingdom

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

Inside 1 Hotel Mayfair, Dovetale applies the logic of European classics to ingredients with serious provenance credentials: Somerset chicken, Oxfordshire venison, and Dover sole given a sole véronique treatment. The wine list runs to 1,200 selections and holds two consecutive Star Wine List top rankings. This is Mayfair fine dining stripped of gimmicks but not of ambition.

The wine list leans hard into Tuscany and Piedmont, with serious Barolo representation across 2,500 bottles.

London, United Kingdom

1 Michelin star

Adam Handling's Covent Garden flagship operates on a ten-course tasting menu format built around seasonal British produce and a zero-waste philosophy, priced at £199 per person.
