Santiago Lastra’s guide to London’s best tasting menus

Chef James Lowe is one of the most talented British chefs and a leader in the new British cuisine movement. He creates some of the most elegant dishes by working with small farms around the UK.

Amazing representation of best-in-class Chinese fine dining, with the best dim sum I’ve ever tried.

This is a beautiful restaurant. Jeremy uses very creative flavour combinations that will always surprise and inspire you. The sake pairing is unbelievable.

This beautiful restaurant has a gorgeous omakase bar at the top of the Television Centre. If you’re in London, you can’t miss this delicious and fun menu. Please try the sake!

Australian chef Brett [Graham] created an institution for fine-dining restaurants in London, particularly because of the precise way he works with game. He’s a reference for the ‘role of a chef outside the restaurant,’ focusing on farming and foraging.

Mauro Colagreco brings some of his incredible food straight from Mirazur to the city, seen through a British lens, focusing on the best seasonal ingredients.

Chef James Knappett creates creative and surprising food, offering an immersive experience in a wonderful location. The restaurant focuses on the best seafood in the country.

Hélène Darroze creates a beautiful atmosphere in her restaurant, balancing luxury and warm hospitality. She makes you feel at home as soon as you go in. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate French and British cuisine than in her restaurant.

Very innovative food, being the test kitchen of Simon Rogan. I highly recommend this beautiful chef’s table counter restaurant.
