Hélène Darroze at The Connaught

Three Michelin stars? It doesn’t get much better than that. Mayfair’s The Connaught, home to immaculate suites, a tranquil spa, and exceptional dining options, is a must-visit for any big celebration or anniversary. 

There are plenty of great foodie options here, from the Connaught Patisserie filled with their signature hound cakes to the Red Room, perfect for intimate cocktails. But it’s Hélène Darroze at The Connaught that really steals the show.  

Pierre Yovanvitch’s interiors pair brilliantly with Darroze’s elegant dishes – think blush shades, curved lines and deep velvet and leather seating to reflect the restaurant’s warm, approachable ethos. The three Michelin-star restaurant’s menu changes with the seasons, and they offer a great chef’s table experience too.
