Fodor's "Exceptional olde English-inspired dishes executed with ultra-modern precision in an open kitchen is the schtick at Ashley Palmer-Watts' acclaimed award-winner." Full review
BlackBook "Like a culinary Doctor Who, Heston Blumenthal takes you on a historical trip back through time with his first London venture."
Gayot17.0
"The contemporary dishes look to Britain's gastronomic history: scallops with cucumber ketchup and peas, and slow-cooked short rib of beef." Full review
Independent "Here is the missing link between the labour-intensive complexity of contemporary haute cuisine, and the produce-led simplicity of modern British pioneers." Full review
The Guardian "Dinner is a brilliant restaurant, one that embodies Blumenthal's mixture of deep technical craft, ingenious feeling for theatre and astute sense of how to turn a meal into a story." Full review
Rough Guide "You know what to expect from Heston – imaginative, witty food that tastes amazing and gives you a once in a lifetime experience."
Time Out "Head chef Ashley-Palmer Watts, protégé of Heston Blumenthal, ensures that Dinner is one of London’s most sought-after destinations." Full review
The World's 50 Best Restaurants7.0
"By celebrating bigger, more boisterous flavours, recreating British culinary history and teleporting age-old recipes into the 21st century, Dinner has carved out its very own niche." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Blumenthal looks back over centuries of British cookery with a menu that includes everything from 15th-century meat fruit to 17th-century powdered duck breast." Full review

Frommer's "This is French haute cuisine, but with a nod towards London's more relaxed style." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The celebrated chef's Mayfair Park restaurant has earned three Michelin Stars since opening in 2008. The contemporary dining room has a neutral creamy palette and high ceilings." Full review
Gayot17.0
"Enter the room, designed by Patrick Jouin, to find a soothing, sophisticated space with light wood panels and natural materials in varying shades of tan and cream." Full review
Independent "The no-expense-spared philosophy shows in the svelte Patrick Jouin-designed room, with its decaffeinated-coffee-and-skimmed- cream colours." Full review
The Guardian "Ducasse's proxy, Jocelyn Herland, produces dishes that are genuinely beautiful to the eye, but less memorable to the tastebud than that triple-star rating might suggest." Full review
Time Out "The cooking and setting are undeniably lovely, yet the overall experience lacks wow factors... largely because of its unfashionably restrained, traditional approach to fine dining." Full review

"Alain Ducasse is one of France's greatest post-war chefs and his London team display a confidence in their ability and maturity in their attitude that does justice to his reputation." Full review
Evening Standard "Alain Ducasse has more three Michelin starred restaurants than London does. He has three, we have two. And, er, one of those, this one, is his." Full review
