Situated in the heart of Mayfair, The Connaught Hotel has always been one of London’s most desirable dining destinations. The wood-panelled dining room exudes old world charm, with bold prints and sumptuous fabrics adding a contemporary flourish. The restaurant, which recently won its first Michelin star, is an ideal setting for business lunches and romantic dinners but also offers a first class brunch menu. Hélène Darroze, who divides her time between the UK and Paris, has created a menu that reflects her passion for the regional, seasonal flavours of South West France. Popular dishes include the saddle and rack of milk fed lamb with caramelised red endives and the line caught sea bass with white asparagus and cockle jus.
