“ Once a year me and my mum like to splash out on going somewhere fancy. After a bit of research I chose to go to Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester. We had the tasting menu and It did not disappoint the food was incredible, some of the best flavours I have ever had. All the staff were so lovely and accommodating explaining each dish perfectly whilst also making it feel like a very personal experience. If you do choose to visit it’ll be one to remember for life. ”

“ We have eaten at a lot of the top restaurants in the UK over the years and for us personally this has to be one of the best. The service was impeccable not only because the team were extremely attentive, as you may expect in a 3 star but we had conversations with every person that served us. We don’t like stuffy or pretentious and this place is definitely not either. It’s a lovely warm and welcoming environment where you feel very at home and relaxed. When we described the type of wine that we enjoyed, the sommelier advised us on what he thought would suit best, he didn’t disappoint and chose perfectly. The food was balanced and extremely well executed. What we particularly loved and although it may seem small was that you had a cheese course included, rather than having to pay a supplement like in so many high end restaurants. The three cheeses provided were exceptional and complimented each other perfectly. You may think cheese is boring but when you taste this selection, you really won’t be disappointed. We were able to meet Jean-Philippe Blondet in person, a relaxed and easy going chef who gave us the time of day when he didn’t need too. A huge thank you to all the team that made the whole experience so enjoyable for us, we couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough. ”

“ For a truly unforgettable birthday celebration, this fine dining experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was perfect—elegant, yet warm, with a sense of intimacy that made the evening feel extraordinary. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were both professional and personable, ensuring every need was met without being intrusive. The culinary journey was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with complex, balanced flavors. Highlights included a queen scallop, perfectly seared and accompanied by an inventive, flavorful garnish, and a tender, melt-in-your-mouth cod cheek, cooked to absolute perfection. The wine pairings were expertly chosen, enhancing each course. What truly made this celebration extra special was the feeling of being surrounded by loved ones, sharing such an exceptional meal. The restaurant went above and beyond to personalize the experience, offering thoughtful touches that made the occasion feel even more memorable—like a surprise birthday dessert that was both delicious and visually stunning. This wasn't just a meal; it was an experience that we’ll cherish for years to come. The combination of flawless service, exquisite food, and meaningful moments with important loved ones made this birthday celebration truly extraordinary. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate a special occasion to the next level. ”

“ Such a unique experience. This is so much more than dinner! The restaurant's service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. They provided detailed descriptions of each dish and were readily available whenever we needed assistance. The pacing between each course was just right, allowing us to savor and appreciate each dish. We will be returning. ”

“ Absolute culinary experience!! Also be prepared that the dinner will last for the whole evening - from start to finish it was 4.5 hours for us so I would recommend booking an earlier slot so that you can enjoy the whole experience at a good pace! Everything was impeccable but my highlight was the newly added dessert which is the Golden apple! They first dehydrated the apple then rehydrated it again as part of the cooking process to give a unique texture to it and I've never tasted anything like that before !! They are also very accommodating to any special requests so please don't hesitate to reach out to them when you book if you wish to change some of the dishes from the tasting menu! ”

“ Fantastic meal! It was faultless, we went for a 21st birthday and the experience was sensational. The food was delightful with all dishes being presented beautifully. The service was top notch (we weren’t even allowed to pour our drinks) and the ambience was lovely. A really enjoyable evening, thank you to all the staff and we really enjoyed meeting the chef! I advise booking early as it was a 5 hour experience for our table of 9. ”

“ Very elegant and simple restaurant. Excellent service and comprehensive knowledge of the menu. The menu is small. We opted for the tasting menu. Every single dish was well presented, prepared and top notch! 3 Michelin stars well deserved! ”

“ An unforgettable experience at the highest level. Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester is not just a restaurant – it’s a stage for culinary perfection. From the moment you step inside, you can sense that every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the ambiance to the final bite. The cuisine is simply outstanding. Each dish tells a story – one of French elegance, technical brilliance, and an extraordinary balance between creativity and tradition. The harmony of flavors, even in the smallest details, is truly impressive. A very special thank you to Marion, who made the evening an exceptional one with her warm, professional, and attentive service. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her sense of timing and hospitality were impeccable. It’s rare to feel so welcome and relaxed in a three-star setting. For those seeking true haute cuisine, this is an absolute must. Wholeheartedly recommended – We will definitely return. ”
