Hélène Darroze at The Connaught London Reviews
Exquisite Dining Experience
Helene Darroze at the Connaught Our previous visits to Helene Darroze at the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair have always been a fabulous dining experiences and I’m truly glad to say that our latest was as exquisite as those we’ve enjoyed in the past.
A Three Star Experience
To dine here is more than a meal. It is an experience. Each and every course was a work of art and so delicious. The attention to detail is incredible. And while the food is the star, the service is the co-star. The staff makes you feel like royalty.
Delicious and well worth the high price!
We really enjoy multi-course meals with wine adn Helen Darroze totally exceeded our expectations. The room is stunning, the food fantastic and the wine pairings outstanding. You don't all have to choose the same experience - one of our four di
Do these guys know anything about food? You would hope so with 3 Michelin stars....
My wife took me here for my birthday - a special meal. In advance we had informed the restaurant that I was allergic to mackerel. On the morning of the meal, I looked on-line at the set menu and there was a problem - the starter was mackerel - with
You would expect an immaculate service for a 3 star. Unfortunately not so, we had a few of our courses served to us when the sommelier was still introducing the wine which sort of feels like the sommelier is being rushed and you lose part of the WOW
Exceptional from start to finish – a benchmark three-star experience
After a remarkable meal at Marsan in Paris, I knew I had to visit Hélène Darroze at The Connaught—and it exceeded even the highest expectations. The Connaught itself is iconic, one of London’s most refined and storied hotels, and the perfect ho
Three stars well deserved
Our top three star experience on this trip. All dishes just to die for. Elegant, not overly heavy and so refined. The caviar tuna dish and the lobster to die for. The sommelier Ben absolutely phantastic, with a great array of wines by the glass. At
Another exceptional dining experience.
I consider The Connaught is my home when visiting London and a visit wouldn’t be complete without a lunch or dinner at HD. From arrival to departure, service was flawless - attentive, personable yet not overbearing (like many Michelin starred res
Dazzled, Then Disappointed
The truffle and hazelnut celeriac was promising, but it was served lukewarm and abstractedly flavorless, not highlighting any of its most significant ingredients. It was a garnish course rather than a flavor course. The plating was stunning, but the
An Overcomplicated Culinary Journey
Dinner was more akin to an experiment in science than actual food. The black truffle foie gras was buried beneath too much garnish, masking the richness instead of adding to it. A pigeon course with hibiscus and beetroot sounded promising but was spo
Highly recommend!
After a team building exercise, our group indulged in an extraordinary dining experience at this establishment. The 12-course tasting menu, complemented by a shared platter of steak and mash, was a culinary journey that justified its £195 per person
A must when in London!
This experience truly blew me away. First: The hotel itself is stunning and the staff is lovely, so I would recommend to have a few drinks at one of the bars before heading to the restaurant. I loved that the restaurant was so intimate and quiet.
Out of this world dining experience
Impeccable service even before our lunch. One week prior, we were called by the concierge to inquire regarding special preferences. After lunch , we were taken to an immaculate kitchen to see the chef in action
Wonderful.
Helene Darroze is a true delight, and I have been dining there since 2018. There have been changes since I started going there, the decor, the menu selection (in 2018-2019 it was the dice, some older diners may recall). And of course they have 3 mich
The best restaurant in London!!!! By far!!!!
What can i say about this restaurant??? The service, the flavours, the presentation, all on another level!!!! Truly one of the best experiences of my life! It’s not cheap, but you know it beforehand! Thank you Celia for the tour of - the behind the
WOW
I don’t know what to say except wow ❤️, the food was on another level, and the service was professional and well organised.
Crazy and open to ridecule
Maybe Chef Darroze spends all her money on her French establishments and that’s why she cannot afford a table cloth. Used to be well decorated but the guy who designed this latest evolution was having a joke. The staff uniforms are only capable of
Nice ambience and great service
Ambience was quite nice, sober and not that overly posh. We were served by several very kind waiters. They explained everything and were not pushy. The courses felt really like proper meals and not just nibbles. The duck was fantastic and the dessert
Food heaven
Probably the best restaurant I’ve ever eaten in, incredible food and service to match. Every member of staff were incredibly attentive and couldn’t possibly have done any more. Look forward to revisiting. Thanks Mark & Helen.
Incredibly disappointing
We thought we’d make valentines special this year and so booked to stay at The Connaught (not our first time) and dine at Hélène Darroze. We left with a bitter taste in our mouths and that wasn’t the endive. After being seated we were serve
Our Best Meal ever
Making an entry to front door can be a problem with SUV and Limos parked higgledy piggledy. But once inside everything is calm and well ordered. We found the lunch menu and absolute bargain. If I had tried to source all the delights it would have cos
Creative food that blends multiple cuisines
Visited in October 2023 I loved my meal here. The water pitcher was definitely the most interesting and funniest one I've seen. The Negroni was probably the best Negroni I have tasted, which didn't surprise me as the Connaught Bar is known for bein
Still on our list of favourites
6 years ago my husband and I first visited Helene Darroze at the Connaught together for my birthday celebration. We both recall how we were pleasantly blown away by the quality of seafood (which is extremely hard to find in London) and the exceptiona
Great food but overpriced
The food was quite amazing. Well presented, fresh ingredients, interesting and unique combinations. Delicious extras and fresh bread. Nice touch of a small cake to take home. The only thing that let the experience down was the staff, mostly just the
Wonderful Lunch
Beautiful room in a classic hotel. Has the kind of service you expect from 3 Michelin stars. We had the shorter version of the Autumn set menu with a couple of the alternatives. Everything was impeccable. Gordon Ramsey and Waterside Inn are the two b
An Absolute Must To Visit
Absolutely superb in every way. The food was first class in quality and cooked to perfections. The staff were excellent and high praise had to go to lobby host Eden and duty manager Erica for their professional service. The Connaught has a lovely f
Simply Outstanding
This was everything you could ever want from a Michelin Star dining experience. A fabulous location , the food was stunning , the wine pairings were amazing and the service was absolutely impeccable. So when you put all this together it quite si
Excellent once again
This is probably the fifth time that we have visited this restaurant over the last couple of years. Once again the service was excellent, the dishes were pieces of art (and tasty!) and the wine chose was sublime. Yes, it may be expensive as some ha
Lovely lunch
We decided to treat ourself for a midweek lunch. It was absolutely lovely, the service was as you would expect. Our only annoyance was on the website it shows a weekday lunch menu which we were planning on getting. When we where shown the menu it onl
Beautiful Food with some Dishes a Bit Bland
The dishes here are museum quality. Each one is a work of art. Service is excellent as is the setting. The taste is absent in some of the dishes. Some are a bit bland, and some are excellent. The wagyu beef was outstanding, like butter, but the 1
Without a doubt - highly recommended! My favourite fine dining restaurant in London.
Staying at The Connaught over Christmas, we booked for the Christmas Day lunch at Helene Darroze. Having dined here many times, I had high hopes. The team did not disappoint. From arrival to departure, service was excellent. As with the hotel, the
Worthy of its 3 stars
My wife and I ate here for the first time though we have eaten in a number of 3 Michelin star restaurants previously. Quality of the food and service was excellent, as was the quantity. We had the 7 course tasting menu which probably had the same aga
Wonderful Food
We have been a couple of times before and every time is amazing. The staff are really friendly, it’s a relaxed atmosphere and the food is amazing.
Best meal I have ever had in my life!
This is a long review ! Id like to start by saying this is not the sort of establishment we can usually afford to go to on any regular basis - we love watching Masterchef but havent experienced many other Michelin starred dininig experiences (3 bef

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Hélène Darroze at The Connaught London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Hélène Darroze at The Connaught London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Hélène Darroze at The Connaught London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Hélène Darroze at The Connaught London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
