Heston Blumenthal's two-MICHELIN-star restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, reworking historic British recipes. Closing end of January 2027.
About Dinner by Heston Blumenthal
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal opened in 2011 inside Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park and holds two MICHELIN stars. The menu draws on Heston Blumenthal's research into historic British cooking, with dishes inspired by recipes and ideas reaching back as far as 14th century cookbooks, Tudor dining and Victorian kitchens, each given a modern treatment.
The dish to order is Meat Fruit, a savoury dish made to look exactly like a mandarin, which has become the restaurant's signature. The room has floor-to-ceiling glass looking into the kitchen, where a spit-roasting pulley system turns over an open fire, and windows onto Hyde Park. A set luncheon of three courses is offered Monday to Saturday, and there is an à la carte menu. For groups, a Tudor-inspired private dining room seats up to 12, and a Chef's Table for four to six guests looks onto the kitchen.
It suits a celebration meal and anyone curious about British food history. Note that the restaurant has announced it will close at the end of January 2027, with a farewell tasting menu planned for that final month, so book soon. Reservations open three months ahead.
