How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
1890 by Gordon Ramsay
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
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
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
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.
Akoko
1 Michelin star
Akoko earned its Michelin star in 2024, making it one of the few London restaurants to translate West African culinary tradition into a fine dining format with genuine rigour. Operating from Fitzrovia with a £125 tasting menu, the kitchen draws on Ghanaian, Senegalese, and Nigerian cooking, pairing West African spicing with prime British produce. The warm terracotta dining room and notably personable service complete a package that the city's fine dining circuit had been missing.
Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
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.
Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
A two-Michelin-starred Modern French table inside the grand Hotel Café Royal on Regent Street, Alex Dilling operates in London's upper bracket of formal French dining. Provenance-led sourcing, Cornish sardines, Scottish girolles, Kaluga caviar, anchors a kitchen that ranked 80th on La Liste's global list in 2026. Dinner service runs Tuesday through Saturday, with Saturday lunch the only midday option.
Amaya
1 Michelin star
Amaya occupies a different tier from London's standard Indian restaurant scene. Operating from a Belgravia side passage since 2004, this Michelin-starred member of the MW Eat group structures its menu around live tawa, tandoor, and sigri grills, with sharing-format dishes that encourage range over volume.
Ambassadors Clubhouse
1 Michelin star
From the team behind Gymkhana, Ambassadors Clubhouse on Heddon Street channels the 'party mansions' of undivided Punjab through wood panelling, sigri-fired cooking, and a late-night basement that pulls in guest DJs spinning Punjabi and British dance music. The Michelin Plate (2024) and a ranking of #269 in Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in Europe 2025 position it firmly within London's serious Indian dining tier.
Angler
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
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. The heated roof terrace, ornate dining room, and an eight-course tasting menu make it one of the more considered seafood addresses in EC2.
AngloThai
1 Michelin star
AngloThai earned its first Michelin star just three months after opening in November 2025, making it one of London's fastest-recognised Thai restaurants. The nine-course dinner menu at £110 draws on British-sourced ingredients including venison and Brixham crab, filtered through Thai technique and flavour logic. Seymour Place in Marylebone provides a quietly residential frame for cooking that sits well outside the mainstream Thai category.
Aulis London
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.
Behind Restaurant
1 Michelin star
Behind Restaurant in Hackney brings a seafood-focused tasting menu to an 18-seat horseshoe counter in London Fields, where chefs serve and explain each course themselves. The surprise menu runs to around ten courses, with lunch priced at £54 and dinner at £98, value that sits well below comparable tasting-format venues in central London. Ranked #435 in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2024 and #472 in 2025, it occupies a distinct position in London's counter-dining scene.
Benares
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.
Bonheur
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
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
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.
Caractère
1 Michelin star
The former-pub dining room runs a monthly-changing menu of French and Italian-inflected dishes, with a build-your-own five-course format that places it among the more guest-directed tasting menus in west London.
Casa Fofò
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred set-menu counter in Dalston where fermentation, ageing, and whole-animal butchery drive an eight-course surprise format priced at £65. No paper menu, no à la carte, just a sequence delivered by the chefs themselves from an open kitchen. Ranked #385 in Opinionated About Dining's Casual Europe list for 2025, Casa Fofò is one of East London's harder reservations to secure.
Chez Bruce
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred French restaurant in Wandsworth that has held a consistently high standard for over two decades, Chez Bruce sits at the more accessible end of London's serious cooking tier. Chef Matt Christmas leads a kitchen focused on seasonal French technique, paired with a wine list that includes well-priced rare bottles and a corkage option for those bringing from their own cellar. Ranked #480 in the 2025 Opinionated About Dining Classical Europe list.
Chishuru
1 Michelin star
Chishuru holds a Michelin star and a place in the OAD Top 600 European restaurants, making it one of a small number of London addresses where West African cooking operates at this level of technical precision. Chef Adejoké Bakare's £75 five-course dinner menu works palm nut creams, fermented rice cakes, and uziza leaf into a format the city's fine-dining circuit has largely ignored until recently.
CORE by Clare Smyth
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
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.
Corenucopia
1 Michelin star
Corenucopia occupies a Belgravia address on Holbein Place, sitting within one of London's most formally minded dining neighbourhoods. The venue's positioning in SW1W places it alongside a tier of restaurants where the gap between lunch and dinner service tends to define the entire experience. For visitors weighing the area's options, understanding that divide is the first practical question worth answering.
Cornus
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
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. Chef Gary Foulkes, formerly of Angler, leads a kitchen focused on south-west British seafood and game, handled with technical restraint. The set lunch with £20 corkage is among the more considered value propositions in London's upper dining tier.
Cycene
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred counter in Shoreditch's Chance Street, Cycene operates a structured multi-room format that moves diners from bar to kitchen to intimate dining room across a single evening. Chef Theo Clench's Modern European tasting menu draws on foraged and traceable British produce, ranked #323 in Opinionated About Dining's European list in 2024 and rising to #335 in 2025.
Da Terra
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. The £245 per-person menu runs approximately three hours, with a shorter format and set lunch available Wednesday through Saturday. La Liste placed it at 82 points in 2026.
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Housed inside the Mandarin Oriental Knightsbridge, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal holds two Michelin stars and a sustained presence in the World's 50 Best Restaurants. The menu draws from centuries of British culinary history, then reassembles those references through a contemporary technical lens. Dishes like the Meat Fruit have become shorthand for what modern British cooking can do when it takes its own heritage seriously.
Dorian
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. Chef Max Coen's wood-fired cooking draws from pedigree kitchens including Ikoyi and Core by Clare Smyth, producing a neighbourhood brasserie that critics have consistently found harder to categorise than to praise.
Dysart Petersham
1 Michelin star
Michelin-starred Dysart Petersham sits on the edge of Richmond Park in an Arts and Crafts building, delivering highly seasonal modern cuisine under chef Kenneth Culhane. Ranked #395 in Opinionated About Dining's 2025 European list, the restaurant pairs classical technique with produce-led cooking and quarterly classical music recitals. Service is warm and attentive; the full tasting menu is the format to book.
Elystan Street
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred collaboration between Philip Howard and Rebecca Mascarenhas in Chelsea, Elystan Street operates at the meeting point of Modern British and Modern French cooking: seasonal, Mediterranean-inflected, and built around balance rather than theatre. The wine list runs to around twenty selections by the glass from a European-heavy cellar, with lunch offering particularly accessible entry at this price tier for the postcode.
Evelyn's Table
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Beneath The Blue Posts pub on Rupert Street, Evelyn's Table seats just 12 at a cellar counter and serves a five-course menu for £135 per person. The Michelin-starred format, two sittings nightly, one on Saturday afternoon, rewards punctuality and proximity in equal measure. Ranked 243rd on Opinionated About Dining's 2025 Casual Europe list, it is among the more tightly formatted dining rooms in Soho.
Frog by Adam Handling
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. The room is deliberately spare, the kitchen open, and the atmosphere closer to a charged dining room than a hushed fine-dining sanctuary. A Michelin star and a five-Radish rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Guide signal where it sits in London's competitive tasting-menu tier.
Galvin La Chapelle
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Grade II listed former chapel in Spital Square, Galvin La Chapelle carries a Michelin star and an OAD Classical Europe ranking alongside among the more architecturally arresting dining rooms in the City fringe. The kitchen works classic French technique with a modern hand, running a format that covers weekday lunch through Sunday service, a rarity at this level in London.
Gymkhana
2 Michelin stars
Two Michelin stars and a La Liste ranking in the top 100 European restaurants signal exactly where Gymkhana sits in London's Indian dining hierarchy. The colonial-club setting on Albemarle Street frames cooking that draws on Northern Indian tradition while reaching for tandoor-grilled complexity and nashta-style small plates that read as genuinely contemporary. For the price point, the ambition is matched by the execution.
Hélène Darroze at The Connaught
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Three Michelin stars and a 95-point La Liste score place Hélène Darroze at The Connaught among London's most credentialed fine dining rooms. The seasonal tasting menu draws on French technique, global spicing, and produce sourced from the British Isles, set inside a quietly transformed Mayfair dining room that has shed its gentlemen's club gravity without losing its sense of occasion.
HIDE
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Occupying a three-floor space on Piccadilly opposite Green Park, HIDE holds a Michelin star and a wine list drawn from Hedonism Wines' 10,000-bottle inventory, any bottle deliverable to your table within 15 minutes. The eight-course tasting menu runs £165 per person; breakfast has its own following. Head chef Josh Angus took over the kitchen in early 2025 following Ollie Dabbous's departure, with ratings holding steady across the transition.
Humble Chicken
2 Michelin stars
Humble Chicken places Soho’s Japanese dining conversation in a tighter, more counter-led register: izakaya energy, tasting-menu discipline, and a room built around direct contact with the kitchen. Angelo Sato’s format has moved far beyond yakitori while keeping the social rhythm of skewers, sake and bar seating at its centre.
Ikoyi
2 Michelin stars
Ikoyi is London's serious argument for spice as structure rather than garnish. Jeremy Chan's cooking uses West African ingredients and British produce inside a tasting-menu format that has earned two Michelin stars and a No. 15 place on The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025, placing it in the city's high-price, high-scrutiny creative dining tier.
Jamavar
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
Jamavar on Mount Street brings the cooking traditions of India's royal kitchens to the centre of Mayfair, with a menu that spans regions from Old Delhi to Kerala. Ranked 199th among Europe's top restaurants by Opinionated About Dining in 2025, it operates inside the Sheraton Grand Hotel under the ownership of Katara Hospitality, pairing an extensive wine list with precisely spiced cooking that holds its own against London's most serious dining rooms.
Kerfield Arms
1 Michelin star
A Camberwell neighbourhood pub that earns its reputation through pared-back cooking and high-quality ingredients rather than ambition or theatre. The menu runs to generous, accessible dishes, Salt Marsh lamb loin with romero peppers among them, in a warm, smartly kept interior that manages to feel genuinely like a pub. The kind of place that prompts an immediate second visit.
Kitchen Table
2 Michelin stars
A 19-seat counter restaurant on Charlotte Street, Kitchen Table holds two Michelin stars and ranked 68th in Opinionated About Dining's Europe list for 2024. Chef James Knappett runs a surprise tasting menu built around foraged and sourced British produce, priced at £195 per person, with wine pairings selected by Sandia Chang including a £250 Champagne option.
Kitchen W8
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred fixture on a quiet Kensington side street, Kitchen W8 has held its place in London's modern British dining conversation by doing something harder than spectacle: being reliably good. Chef Mark Kempson's cooking draws on classical French structure with Mediterranean inflections, served in a room that feels genuinely neighbourhood without sacrificing kitchen ambition. Ranked 302nd in Opinionated About Dining's 2024 European list, it earns its place in the upper tier of London's mid-formal dining category.
KOL
1 Michelin star
KOL arrived in Marylebone in late 2020 and rapidly became one of London's most closely watched restaurant openings, earning a Michelin star and a World's 50 Best ranking of #17 by 2024. The premise is structurally unusual: a ten-course tasting menu built entirely on British-sourced ingredients, reinterpreted through 9,000 years of Mexican culinary tradition. The downstairs Mezcaleria offers one of the UK's most serious agave spirit collections as a standalone destination.
La Trompette
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Operating from Chiswick since 2001 and holding a Michelin star, La Trompette sits within the same restaurant group as The Ledbury and Chez Bruce, bringing West End-calibre cooking to west London's residential streets. The monthly-changing carte draws on southern France and the Mediterranean, anchored in British produce. A confident wine list and a weekday prix-fixe make it one of the borough's most consistent fine-dining addresses.
Labombe by Trivet
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Labombe by Trivet occupies a corner of the COMO Metropolitan hotel on Old Park Lane, operating as a wine bar and restaurant with its own street entrance. The cooking ranges from fire-cooked dishes to pâté en croûte and snacks like hot tongue bun, resisting easy categorisation. A global wine list and engaged, knowledgeable service distinguish it within Mayfair's dining scene.
Legado
1 Michelin star
From crisp gambas cristal to suckling pig and lamb sweetbreads with orzo, the menu rewards sharing and repeat ordering. An all-Spanish wine list and a service team with evident conviction round out a room that has quickly become a reference point for Spanish dining in the capital.
Lita
1 Michelin star
At Lita, primal flame meets polished finesse, where an Iberian spirit dances with the leading British provenance. Centered around a dramatic wood-fired hearth, the menu radiates warmth and ambition—think Scottish langoustines glossed with polished sauces, Norfolk quail and Cornish lamb smoldering alongside smoked aubergine and sheep’s milk, and a paella prized for its shimmering, caramelized socarrat. Designed for convivial sharing yet executed with haute precision, each plate layers texture and aroma—shiso-wrapped tuna tartare, fried Manchego, and embers that leave a whisper of smoke on the palate. It’s the rare spot where luxury is felt not in hushed ceremony, but in the joyful, sleeve-rolled abandon of great flavors—an experience that invites return, and rewards it.
Luca
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred Italian from two of The Clove Club's founders, Luca occupies a covered garden space in Clerkenwell that reads as part Roman palazzo, part metropolitan bar. British produce, Hereford beef, Hebridean lamb, Orkney scallops, meets Italian technique across a menu where fresh pasta earns particular attention. The bar's £32 express lunch makes it one of London's more accessible starred options.
Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London at The OWO
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Occupying the ground floor of Raffles London at The Old War Office, a building that held state secrets for most of the twentieth century before opening as a hotel in 2023, this dining room brings Michelin-recognised modern cuisine to one of Westminster's most charged addresses. The kitchen applies technically precise cooking to over 70 varieties of British fruit and vegetables, with plant produce listed before protein on every menu. The wine list is comprehensive, and the service strikes a structured-yet-relaxed register that fits the room's quiet authority.
Michael Caines at The Stafford
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Michael Caines at The Stafford brings the Devon-rooted cooking style of one of Britain's most decorated chefs into the heart of St James's. Housed inside The Stafford hotel, a property so discreet it rewards those who seek it out, the restaurant splits between Stafford Classics like tableside beef Wellington and Caines signatures such as crab and mackerel tart. The 400-year-old wine cellars beneath add a further dimension to any serious meal here.
Mountain
1 Michelin star
Mountain brings the asador tradition of northern Spain and the Balearic Islands to Soho's Beak Street, with an open kitchen firing wood and flame across a two-level room. The team behind Brat in Shoreditch earned a Michelin star here in 2024 and a World's 50 Best ranking of #74 in 2025. Sharing plates, seasonal sourcing, and a wine list available entirely by the glass define the format.
Murano
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Open since 2008, Murano has held a Michelin star and a firm place in Mayfair's top tier of Modern European dining. Angela Hartnett's Italian-inflected cooking draws on prime British ingredients, Dorset crab, Herdwick lamb, set against an assured, unhurried room on Queen Street. Ranked 261st in Opinionated About Dining's Classical Europe list for 2025, it remains one of London's most consistent à la carte destinations at the ££££ price point.
Muse by Tom Aikens
1 Michelin star
A 23-seat Georgian townhouse on a quiet Belgravia mews, Muse by Tom Aikens holds a Michelin star and a La Liste ranking, delivering a tightly structured tasting menu in one of London's most architecturally intimate dining rooms. The format places it firmly in the small-footprint, high-concentration tier of the city's serious restaurant scene, closer to a private dining experience than a conventional service.
OMA
1 Michelin star
OMA earned a Michelin star within months of opening in April 2024, making it one of London's fastest-decorated Greek restaurants. Perched above Borough Market, its open live-fire kitchen turns out sharing dishes that draw from the wider Mediterranean, labneh with salt cod XO, squid-ink giouvetsi, spanakopita gratin, backed by a 450-bin wine list weighted toward coastal Greek labels.
Ormer Mayfair
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Ormer Mayfair occupies the basement of Flemings Mayfair hotel, a wood-panelled dining room whose bones date to the 1850s, made over in the 1930s. Chef Sofian Msterfi runs five- and seven-course menus that draw on Cornish and Orcadian produce while threading Moroccan technique through dishes like roast Anjou pigeon with preserved lemon. A Michelin star since 2024 and a La Liste score of 80.5 points confirm its standing in the quieter, more formal tier of Mayfair dining.
Pavyllon London
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Pavyllon London sits inside the Four Seasons Hotel on Hamilton Place, Mayfair, bringing Yannick Alléno's French contemporary cooking to the UK for the first time. Led in the kitchen by Chef Benjamin Ferra Y Castell, the counter-fronted dining room applies classic French foundations to ingredients from across the Mediterranean and beyond. Set menus represent one focused way to engage with the format.
Pétrus by Gordon Ramsay
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Named after the celebrated Pomerol estate, Pétrus by Gordon Ramsay has held a Michelin star since 2024 and anchors Belgravia's case for serious French dining. The glass-walled wine store at its centre houses over 700 bins, with Château Pétrus vintages running back to 1948. Classic French technique, luxury ingredients, and one of London's more architecturally considered dining rooms make it a consistent choice for the neighbourhood's well-travelled regulars.
Pied à Terre
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Open since 1991, Pied à Terre holds the distinction of being the longest-standing independent Michelin-starred restaurant in the UK, a record that puts it in a category of its own on Charlotte Street. The kitchen works in classical French technique with a contemporary sensibility, the wine programme is guided by sommelier expertise, and the format now spans à la carte, set lunch, and tasting menus across a compact, skylit dining room.
Plates London
1 Michelin star
Plates London earned a Michelin star in January 2025, just seven months after opening on Old Street, making it the UK's first starred vegan restaurant. Chef Kirk Haworth's 25-seat counter in Shoreditch delivers a tasting menu built entirely from plants, with classical technique applied to ingredients that most fine-dining kitchens treat as supporting cast. Bookings run months ahead.
Portland
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred fixture on Great Portland Street, Portland has held its star since its opening year and earned a place in the Opinionated About Dining European rankings every year since 2023. The kitchen operates on a minimal-intervention philosophy, reprinting menus mid-service as ingredients run out, and the wine program carries a partnership with Château d'Yquem that few London restaurants at this price point can match.
Quillon
1 Michelin star
Quillon at 41 Buckingham Gate has held a place on the Opinionated About Dining Europe ranking continuously since 2023, climbing from a recommendation to #333 in 2024 and #362 in 2025. Head Chef Sriram Aylur focuses on southwest Indian cooking, particularly the seafood-forward traditions of the Malabar Coast, with a dedicated seafood tasting menu alongside vegetarian and à la carte options.
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay London reigns as Britain's longest-running three-Michelin-starred establishment, where Chef Patron Matt Abé delivers French-inspired fine dining perfection in an intimate 45-seat Chelsea dining room that has defined culinary excellence for over two decades.
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Perched on the 60th floor of 22 Bishopsgate, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High is the tallest restaurant in Europe, offering a 12-seat counter tasting menu with floor-to-ceiling views across London. Chef James Goodyear leads a surprise menu format built around premium seasonal ingredients. The intimate format, punctual seating policy, and sky-level setting make it a natural choice for milestone occasions.
River Café
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Open since 1987 and holding a Michelin star through 2024, River Café occupies a converted Thames-side warehouse in Hammersmith that helped teach London how to eat Italian. The seasonal menu draws from Italian producers and British growers in equal measure, anchored by a wood-fired oven and a wine list weighted toward serious Italian bottles. Lunch and dinner read differently here, in both rhythm and price.
Row on 5
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Row on 5 occupies the heart of Savile Row with a 15-course tasting menu that draws on outstanding British produce through Japanese and Mediterranean technique. Backed by Jason Atherton and led by chef Spencer Metzger, it holds a Michelin star and ranked among La Liste's top 89-point restaurants in 2026. The wine programme, a ranked Star Wine List title-holder, is as serious as anything in the city.
Sabor
1 Michelin star
Sabor puts Spain’s counter culture into a London room built around movement: ground-floor tapas, seafood and sherry energy below, with El Asador upstairs for Galician and Castilian cooking. Nieves Barragán’s restaurant carries a Michelin star, National Restaurant Awards Top 100 recognition in 2025, and a Spanish wine focus that makes the drinks list part of the education rather than an afterthought.
Sketch, The Lecture Room and Library
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Sketch's Lecture Room and Library has held three Michelin stars since its ascent to the upper tier of London's Modern French dining, operating from an 18th-century Mayfair mansion at 9 Conduit St. Pierre Gagnaire's multi-dish signature approach, langoustine in liquorice beurre noisette accompanied by a constellation of complex side preparations, defines the format, while head chef Johannes Nuding steers execution across a room that ranks #105 on La Liste 2026.
SO|LA
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Victor Garvey's Michelin-starred Soho address transplants California's produce-forward cooking sensibility to Dean Street, structured around a ten-course tasting menu priced at £159 per person. The kitchen balances technical ambition with accessibility, and an all-American wine list, adjusted by a sommelier with notable attentiveness, gives the room a transatlantic coherence that few London rooms attempt at this price tier.
Sollip
1 Michelin star
Sollip holds a Michelin star and a 2025 OAD Top 300 European ranking for its set-menu cooking that draws on Korean culinary tradition and European fine-dining technique in equal measure. Operating from a quietly composed room in Bermondsey, the restaurant runs Wednesday to Saturday only, reinforcing a deliberate, low-volume approach. For London diners tracking where Korean cooking intersects with the broader modern European canon, it sits at the serious end of that conversation.
St John
1 Michelin star
Open since 1994 in a converted Smithfield smokehouse, St John holds a Michelin star and spent a decade inside the World's 50 Best Restaurants. Fergus Henderson's nose-to-tail approach helped redirect British cooking away from continental imitation and toward its own larder. At £££, it sits well below London's formal tasting-menu tier while commanding equivalent critical authority.
St. Barts
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant beside the medieval church of St Bartholomew the Great in EC1, St. Barts operates a strictly British-sourced format across ten courses at dinner. Ranked 420th in the Opinionated About Dining European list in 2024, it has built a reputation in a City neighbourhood that quiets after business hours. The business lunch is frequently cited as strong value at this price tier.
Story
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Tom Sellers' two-Michelin-star restaurant on Tooley Street operates a surprise tasting menu built around langoustine, turbot, and dry-aged duck, underpinned by modernist technique and a decade of sustained refinement. A 2023 expansion added a second floor with a private dining room and terrace. La Liste rates it 90 points in 2026, placing it firmly in London's first division.
Sushi Amamoto
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
Taku places Mayfair omakase in a tighter, more ingredient-led register: 16 seats around an English oak counter, French-Japanese framing, and seafood sourced largely from European waters. The format is disciplined rather than theatrical, with Chef Takuya Watanabe, Long Ng, and a 200-selection France-leaning wine list giving the room serious technical weight.
Sushi Kanesaka
1 Michelin star
Sushi Kanesaka occupies a first-floor counter room inside 45 Park Lane, bringing the Tokyo omakase format of the Kanesaka lineage to Mayfair. The roughly 18-piece menu draws on European seafood and Yamagata rice, placing it among a small tier of London restaurants where Japanese counter dining operates at the highest price bracket. La Liste awarded it 92 points in its 2026 ranking.
The Clove Club
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
The Clove Club sits in London’s expensive creative-dining tier, where tasting-menu discipline, wine depth and international rankings have to justify the bill. Its Shoreditch room keeps the mood less ceremonial than Mayfair fine dining, while Isaac McHale’s kitchen uses British produce, smoke, offcuts and sharp contrasts to make the format feel contemporary rather than deferential.
The Goring
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
The Goring has held a Michelin star since 2016 and remains one of the few London dining rooms where guests still dress for dinner as a matter of course. Under chef Graham Squire, classic British dishes like eggs Drumkilbo sit alongside modern technique and precise sourcing. For those who want formal British hospitality done without apology, the Belgravia address remains the reference point.
The Harwood Arms
1 Michelin star
London's only Michelin-starred pub, The Harwood Arms on Walham Grove in Fulham holds a one-star rating alongside consistent Opinionated About Dining recognition. The kitchen under Jake Leach works a seasonal British menu built around deer and game largely sourced by the owners themselves. Bar snacks, a proper pint, and cooking that earns its accolades without abandoning the format make it a reliable reference point in southwest London.
The Ledbury
3 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Three Michelin stars and a La Liste ranking of 81 points in 2026 place The Ledbury among London's most decorated fine-dining addresses. Brett Graham's eight-course evening menu, priced at £285 per person in Notting Hill's Ledbury Road, draws on produce from his own farm and in-house mushroom cultivation. The wine list holds the Star Wine List number-one ranking for three consecutive years.
The Ninth
1 Michelin star
On Charlotte Street, The Ninth operates as a neighbourhood bistro with a Michelin star behind it, Jun Tanaka's French-Mediterranean kitchen draws from the coastlines of Provence, Sicily, and beyond, producing a sharing menu that moves between Italian and Provençal registers with quiet assurance.
The Ritz Restaurant
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Two Michelin stars and 98 points from La Liste 2026 place The Ritz Restaurant among London's most decorated dining rooms. The Louis XVI interior sets an unambiguous register, this is formal dining as architecture, while John Williams's cooking draws on classical French technique applied to luxury ingredients, from langoustine à la nage to gueridon trolley service kept deliberately, pointedly alive.
Tom Brown at The Capital
1 Michelin star
Tom Brown returned to The Capital Hotel in Knightsbridge in 2025, bringing the seafood-focused precision that built his reputation at Cornerstone in Hackney. The intimate dining room suits both discreet business lunches and considered celebratory dinners. Dishes such as cuttlefish 'cacio e pepe' and turbot with courgettes signal a kitchen that treats prime ingredients as the argument, not the decoration.
Trinity
1 Michelin star
Open since 2006 near Clapham Common, Trinity holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining top-500 ranking for its technically precise Modern British cooking under Adam Byatt and head chef Harry Kirkpatrick. The restaurant has expanded across several formats, a ground-floor dining room, a first-floor space, a chef's-counter experience called Tableside, and an alfresco kitchen, while sustaining the neighbourhood focus that defines its identity.
Trishna
1 Michelin star
Trishna has held a Michelin star since 2012 and remains one of London's most coherent arguments for India's southwest coastal kitchen. The menu draws from Cochin, Kerala and Mangalore, with seafood as the anchor and spicing that ranges from clean and aromatic to deeply layered. The wine list, assembled with producers from lesser-known regions, is among the more thoughtfully matched in London's Indian dining tier.
Trivet
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Trivet holds two Michelin stars and a leading Star Wine List ranking in a deliberately low-key corner of Southwark, where Jonny Lake's à la carte menu of sharply flavoured, technically assured dishes shares the stage with Isa Bal's Middle Eastern-leaning wine list. Mains run between £50–£60; the full package rewards diners prepared to engage seriously with both the food and the cellar.
Umu
1 Michelin star
Umu holds a Michelin star and ranks among Europe's top 300 restaurants, serving Kyoto-influenced kaiseki in a discreet Mayfair townhouse on Bruton Place. Chef Yoshinori Ishii's menu integrates high-grade British produce with classical Japanese technique, including preparations such as ginjo sake-cured Scottish langoustine. Open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner; closed Sunday and Monday lunchtimes.
Veeraswamy
1 Michelin star
London's oldest Indian restaurant, open since 1926 on Regent Street, has held its place in the Opinionated About Dining Europe rankings consistently across 2023, 2024, and 2025. The kitchen draws from every corner of the subcontinent, pairing royal recipes and street food traditions with sourced British produce. A Mayfair institution with a dining room that overlooks Regent Street and a track record that few London restaurants of any cuisine can match.
Wild Honey St James
1 Michelin star
Anthony Demetre's Michelin-starred brasserie de-luxe occupies a Grade-II-listed former banking hall inside the Sofitel on Waterloo Place, positioning it squarely in the St James's tradition of occasion dining without the stiffness that address might imply. The cooking is generous in portion and Classical in reference, held in check by a notable absence of showmanship. Ranked #420 in Opinionated About Dining's Casual Europe list in 2024, it earns its place through consistency rather than spectacle.
