LONDON’S LUXURY DINING REVOLUTION: 3 MUST-VISIT SPOTS FOR 2026
Whether you’re a local foodie or planning a high-end weekend in the city, London’s luxury hotel dining scene is currently in its "Golden Era." 2026 has brought a fresh wave of glamour to some of the city's most historic postcodes.
If you’re looking for a reservation that guarantees a "wow" factor, here are three destinations of the highest caliber to add to your list right now.
  1. Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London at The OWO
    Housed in the legendary Old War Office in Whitehall, this is perhaps the most significant opening in recent years. Chef Mauro Colagreco (of the three-Michelin-starred Mirazur) has created a flagship dining room that is a masterclass in elegance.
  • The Vibe: Stately, historic, and undeniably grand. The restaurant recently secured its first Michelin star for its hyper-seasonal, plant-forward British menus.
  • Don't Miss: After dinner, head down to the Spy Bar, a subterranean speakeasy located in rooms formerly used by MI5.
  • What’s New for 2026: Keep an eye out for Langosteria, the cult Milanese seafood hotspot, which is set to make its London debut at The OWO in Spring 2026.
  1. The Aubrey at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park
    While the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park is home to the legendary two-starred Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, The Aubrey offers a more high-energy, eccentric alternative.
  • The Vibe: An "izakaya" styled like a lush, Victorian-era library. It is famous for its dark, velvet-clad corners and world-class cocktail program.
  • The Experience: Known for its incredible Weekend Brunch and Japanese small plates. It’s the perfect spot for those who want Michelin-level quality with a more vibrant, social atmosphere.
  • Pro Tip: In the summer months, the Hyde Park Garden returns (opening May 2026) for al-fresco dining with stunning park views.
  1. Brooklands by Claude Bosi at The Peninsula London
    To match the caliber of Raffles and the Mandarin, you must visit Brooklands at the newly opened Peninsula London at Hyde Park Corner. This rooftop destination is currently one of the "toughest tables" in town.
  • The Vibe: A stunning homage to British aviation and motorsport. The dining room features a scale model of the Concorde suspended from the ceiling and a terrace with panoramic views of the London skyline.
  • The Accolades: Led by Chef Claude Bosi, the restaurant famously earned two Michelin stars within just months of opening and has retained them for 2026.
  • The Food: Modern British cuisine that celebrates the best of the UK’s produce—think Cornish squid, Yorkshire rhubarb, and Exmoor caviar.
