The Restaurant at The Connaught

"Leaded skylights, liveried doormen who seem to know every guest's name, and shady, masculine bars and restaurants are the picture of restrained 21st-century glamour, while the rooms are spacious Edwardian gems"

"Chef Hélène Darroze runs the titual, Michelin-starred restaurant; alternatively, the afternoon tea (around £45–£58) is a great splurge"

"The celebrated main restaurant is currently on a high under admired chef Hélène Darroze"

"Besides Darroze’s namesake restaurant, amenities include a more informal brasserie serving afternoon tea and more, two stylish bars, an indoor pool, fitness studio and Asian-inspired spa"

"The Food To taste The Connaught’s Victorian roots, there’s the mighty afternoon tea, a truly British affair served up in the bright Espelette restaurant, which looks out onto Carlos Place"
