Discover the best Michelin star restaurants in London — from 3-star fine dining at Hélène Darroze to intimate 12-seat chef’s counters like Evelyn’s Table. Here are my favourite spots for unforgettable tasting menus, perfect wine pairings, and stunning interiors.

Being able to go to michelin star restaurants is such a treat. The excitement and enthusiasm never dies down as we enter these amazing Michelin star restaurants and are served these incredible and unique dishes and wine in beautiful decors. I’m so glad that my children enjoy it as much as I do, my bank account not as much…


Hélène Darroze at the Connaugh (3 Michelin stars)

Benares Mayfair (1 Michelin star)

Evelyn’s Table (1 Michelin star)

Hide (1 Michelin star)


Hélène Darroze at the Connaugh (3 michelin star)

We went to our first three Michelin star restaurant in London at Hélène Darroze at the Connaugh.

What an incredible evening, every dish was exceptional and unique.

We were served 9 dishes, from red mullet, beetroot, hare, john dory, guinea fowl, rhubarb and chocolate.

The wine pairing was perfect and ‘the cherry on the cake’ was our tour of the kitchen by Celia Denis, the guest relations Manager.

We were given a little present to take home with us, a small canelé, a pâtisserie flavored with rhum and vanilla from Hélène Darroze’s home town Bordeaux.

Thank you to the whole team! you really deserve those 3 stars!

Benares (1 Michelin star)

Benares Mayfair is a one Michelin-starred Indian restaurant where we went for a deliciously refined lunch.

The dishes are a combination of tradition and modernity of specialties from India.

We tried their three courses set menu for £ 39. It’s always interesting to check out the lunch menus in Michelin star restaurants, you get to taste an incredible restaurant at a very good price.

A special mention has to go to the dark chocolate pave served with fresh pickled strawberries.

Evelyn’s Table (1 Michelin star)

Evelyn’s Table, a one Michelin star, is an intimate 12-seater counter dining experience. You are seated at the counter with everyone else, facing the kitchen, so you get to admire the chefs’ skills throughout the evening.

You will get to taste amazing fresh British produce with a touch of Scandinavian and Japanese cuisine.

We started with Cornish fish, charred leaks, apple and kombu; an amazing combination. Next British Iberico presa, chesnuts, grilled pear; then Orkney scallop, swede xo, yuzu.

The main dish was Devonshure beef, spring leaves, seaweed, cured egg yolk. The dessert was a wonderful Koshihikari rice pudding, miso brulée, Yorkshire rhubarb, cherry blossoms.

They even signed our menu that we framed and hanged in the kitchen with the other menus.

Hide (1 michelin star)

This one Michelin star restaurant Hide offers a sophisticated and delicate food amidst a decor that is equally as dazzling. I have to mention the sinuous timber staircase by Atmos Studio, the centrepiece restaurant, where it ascends from a basement bar to the dining areas on the ground floor and upper mezzanine.

We started our evening with a glass of champagne in the Bar Below and then made our way upstairs to have our dinner, the oysters were perfect and the dishes were refined, a well deserved one star michelin star.
