The story
At Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, the past and present converge on a plate. Located within the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park on Knightsbridge, this two Michelin-starred restaurant explores centuries of British cooking through a distinctly modern lens. The menu is built on "historic British gastronomy," transforming archival recipes and lost techniques into dishes that feel both familiar and revelatory. From the moment you step inside, the refined yet welcoming atmosphere sets the stage for an experience that is as intellectually engaging as it is delicious.
The restaurant’s award-winning team, led by Heston Blumenthal, has been recognized with two Michelin Stars and four AA Rosettes for 2025, cementing its reputation as a destination for serious, creative British cuisine. The setting inside the Mandarin Oriental is elegant and comfortable, with an adjoining private dining room inspired by 16th-century Tudor architecture, featuring an oval sapele and rosewood table and rich, red velvet chairs for up to twelve guests. For the most immersive meal, the Chef’s Table offers a front-row seat to the energy of the kitchen, accommodating four to six guests with a bespoke menu served directly by the head chef.
Lunch offers a set luncheon menu of three courses priced at £65, while the à la carte menu showcases the restaurant’s signature dishes. It is a place where every detail, from the original research behind each plate to the polished service, reflects a deep commitment to the craft of British cooking.
