The story
Since opening its doors within The Savoy Hotel in 1889, the Savoy Grill has been a cornerstone of London's dining scene. It has welcomed everyone from Winston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin to Marilyn Monroe, earning its reputation as a place where history is made over a good meal. The restaurant's enduring appeal lies in its ability to remain both familiar and special, offering classic dishes with exceptional service.
The kitchen is led by Executive Head Chef Arnaud Stevens. A Frenchman whose passion for cooking was sparked by his mother and uncle, Stevens brings over two decades of experience from Michelin-starred kitchens, including CityRhodes and La Tante Claire. His menu features refined British and French cuisine, showcasing the finest seasonal ingredients through both classic dishes and contemporary interpretations.
The dining room exudes an atmosphere of classic elegance. A 2023 refurbishment refreshed the space, creating a setting that honours the restaurant's rich history while feeling contemporary. The restaurant is also home to an award-winning wine list, recognised as the World's Best Wine List by The World of Fine Wine, a testament to the passion and precision behind the carefully curated selection.
For those seeking a more immersive experience, the Kitchen Table offers a private dining room within the heart of the kitchen. This experience, for up to six guests, includes a dedicated sommelier and waiter, with chefs personally introducing each course from the Savoy Grill Experience or Chef's Experience menus. The Savoy Grill's status as a Michelin Recommended restaurant reflects its consistent quality and commitment to an exceptional dining experience.
The Savoy Grill's menus are built on a foundation of exceptional ingredients and precise technique. From a succulent grilled steak to a delicate seafood platter, the kitchen focuses on hearty, flavourful food. The restaurant continues to evolve, offering a Taste the Season menu with a two-course lunch, alongside its à la carte and pre-theatre options. Whether for a celebratory dinner or a business lunch, the Savoy Grill remains a timeless destination in London.
