Hélène Darroze at The Connaught

Good food and nice staff. They bring various types of bread to choose from in a nice basket. The ambiance was not out of the ordinary, very quiet, not much going on.

None of the 7 courses are tasty. Very mediocre! I really don't understand how can it get Michelin 3 stars. All 1 or 2 stars restaurants I tried were way better than this one

Grossly overpriced. One would expect something special for what one has to pay. Inner seating offers no creative ambience. Wine list rather of snob value. Barely any choices below £1000. View menu

My family and I have been fortunate enough to dine at the top Michelin restaurants around the world. This restaurant delivered sharp service and executed imaginative delectable dishes. We will be back for the chef's table and sommelier tasting when we return. Thank you for a memorable night and for entertaining our 8 year olds palate. She thoroughly enjoyed her creative mock-tails.

The food at this restaurant is like a work of art, with some dishes being outstanding while others are a bit bland. The wagyu beef was particularly impressive, but the upcharge was steep. The baba rum also had an upcharge for the 30-year-old brandy. Despite the high prices, the service and setting were excellent. Our meal for two ended up costing over 500 pounds, not including any drinks.

We had not visited this restaurant since they started using marbles on the menu for selecting dishes. Although it was a unique concept, my wife was not expecting it and we were pleased to see they had returned to a more traditional menu approach. The staff was wonderful and even indulged us by speaking Italian with us (as we are learning the language). We opted for the five-course menu with wagyu beef, which was outstanding. The wine pairings were excellent and made for a lovely evening. The lobster dish was particularly delicious and their take on onion soup was quite creative. This restaurant is now a regular spot for us and we look forward to seeing how their menu evolves in the future. View menu

This was my first time eating a 3 Michelin star restaurant and wow I wasn't prepared for just how much of an upgrade the dining experience would be. We opted for the full tasting menu with the wine pairing. Their menu is seasonal so I won't go into much detail about the food because it was all amazing and this review would be 10 pages long. The level of service and attention to detail is truly astonishing. The staff were amazing and super friendly. A lot of times it can feel intimidating to sit down at such renowned place but they made it super comfortable. They also reached out beforehand and asked if we had a special reason for visiting the restaurant to which we said for our anniversary a...

Overall the Connaught was ok, but it could do with some improvements. Its a lovely foyer into the hotel, especially as it was Christmas with a fantastic tree and lights everywhere. However, there were absolutely no Christmas decorations or festive ambience in the restaurant even though it 's a 'Festive Afternoon Tea ' which was disappointing. The room is quite small and as of the layout, your table will have the main chair backing onto two other groups so it can be very loud as your sitting back-to-back. There didn 't seem to be enough staff either as you had to wait a long time to flag them down, though you could see them running around trying to help as many people as possible so that isn...

Instant contender for one of my top meals ever. I can't say enough about our meal at HD. It was top level dining from start to finish in all categories. The ambience and service were fantastic and the food was world class. Full disclosure, I had a couple of martinis at the hotel lobby bar (which is also fantastic) before dinner, so that plus the (generous and delicious) wine pairings started to make things a little fuzzy towards the dessert courses... but I can tell you with 100% certainty that despite that this was a night I won't soon forget. I will spare you the dish by dish rundown but each course was an incredible display of technique, beauty, flavor and attention to detail. I mentioned... View menu
