Fine dining here may be the one thing London’s leading poets and politicians have always agreed on.
This legendary address has long been the capital's hub for fine food, wine and conversation.
Overlooking much of Regent Street, the Hotel Café Royal dining experience is deeply entrenched in the rich history of this infamous location. Throughout the decades, the Café Royal was the place to be seen dining and socialising, and even today not much has changed. From exemplary pastries to mouth-watering fine dining, and not to mention a signature night cap on the way out, this is one destination where every dish is flawlessly designed.
Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal
In his first namesake outing, acclaimed chef Alex Dilling takes French gastronomy to a new level - one that is irrevocably intimate. With only 34 seats, Dilling's elegant approach to dining is experienced with a view that overlooks the emblematic curvature of Regent Street. A new masterclass in what fine dining is in the modern day.
Cakes & Bubbles
Three Michelin-starred chef Albert Adrià, lauded as the world's best pastry chef, has opened his first restaurant outside his native Spain right here at Hotel Café Royal. Cakes & Bubbles offers a parade of exceptional desserts and pastries, as well as the 'Sweet Afternoon Bubbles Experience'. All served alongside a wide selection of Champagne and sparkling wine. Cakes & Bubbles also offers a savoury 'all day dining' menu for lunch and dinner reservations.
Barbounia
Barbounia is located at the very heart of the hotel, overlooking the main lobby, and is very much a place of convergence. Whether it is family coming together, friends reuniting, or simply a location in which to gather, Barbounia is a reflection of the hotel's masterful dining experience and the beauty of the central atrium and Murano glass chandelier. The result is a meeting place like no other in the heart of London with a Mediterranean menu that incorporates flavourful seasonality and gentle touches that inspire pure delight.
The Grill Room
Nestled between the elegance of Mayfair and the creativity of Soho, The Grill Room is the space where great minds came together to change the world. It is in this very room that Oscar Wilde fell in love with Lord Alfred Douglas; Aubrey Beardsley debated with Whistler; David Bowie retired Ziggy Stardust; and Mick Jagger, the Beatles and Elizabeth Taylor danced the night away. Dating back to 1865, this gilded room is now home to Hotel Café Royal's award-winning afternoon tea service, as well as an exclusive venue for private event.
Green Bar
Renowned as one of the best luxury bars in London, the Green Bar offers botanicals and tonics alongside classic and modern cocktail concoctions. The Green Bar cocktail list is an invitation to explore tastes throughout the ages, divided into four eras spanning over 100 years. The ideal location for an evening sojourn on the border of Regent Street and Soho, the Green Bar’s staple menu of mini bites, sandwiches and shareable plates is fully rounded out by the sweet treats composed in partnership with Glenfiddich for the first time.
