Harden's says
Parisian uber-chef Yannick Alléno, who holds a total of six Michelin stars at three separate restaurants under one roof at the Pavillon Ledoyen on the Champs-Elysées, makes his London debut this year at this swish Mayfair hotel, with an anticipated summer launch.
Harden's survey result
Summary
On the ground floor of a luxurious Park Lane five star – complete with its own pavement entrance – this year-old newcomer is a showcase for Parisian chef Yannick Alléno (who holds 15 Michelin stars worldwide and whose empire globally includes two other ‘Pavyllons’). The interior is stylish – if in a slightly anodyne kind of way – and “the tables are a good size and reasonably spaced so it’s particularly good for business”. The “well-executed” menu has its fair share of luxury ingredients, but is not particularly ‘foodie’; and you can eat à la carte or choose the four-course (£85 per person) or six-course (£110 per person) ‘Immersive Mayfair’ menu. Top Tip – “there is an excellent set lunch deal (at the reasonable price of £55.50 per person)”.
Summary
Parisian uber-chef Yannick Alléno – who holds a total of 15 Michelin stars at 17 restaurants across the globe – made his London debut this summer at this July 2023 launch. Since the days of Bruno Loubet in the early ’90s, the quietly glamorous Four Seasons has – for all its other virtues – lacked a high profile flagship eatery. Let’s hope that this newcomer inspires more local excitement than its more established near neighbour on Park Lane, run by the holder of the world’s most Michelin Stars (in that case 21): Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester. With main dishes around £50, the à la carte pricing here is a little vertigo-inspiring, but the offering of a set two-course lunch option under £50 and a tasting menu under £100 suggest a desire to tempt the locals to try it out.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"It's an elegant restaurant. The portions and drinks are sparse. The presentations are lovely; the prices are high. Not worth a return."
