Nestled beneath the breathtaking eight-story glass atrium of The Landmark London, The Winter Garden Restaurant offers a beautiful dining experience that seamlessly blends grandeur with culinary excellence.
From the moment I stepped into this stunning space, surrounded by towering palm trees, I knew I was in for something special.
New Head Chef Brian Hennessy, formerly of the Michelin-starred Ritz London, brings his globetrotting inspiration to every dish, marrying classical flavors with contemporary techniques.
I began my meal with the salt-baked beetroot salad, a vibrant dish complemented by a lime beetroot gazpacho and topped with walnuts.
The combination of earthy sweetness and tangy citrus made for a refreshing and beautifully balanced start.
My boyfriend opted for the lobster, which was expertly prepared and accompanied by brown shrimps, mussels, and a decadent lobster sauce.
I chose the Halibut, a perfectly cooked fillet with a delicate, buttery texture and a beautifully crisp skin.
I could really taste the quality of the fish, and the generous portion was much appreciated.
My boyfriend, a steak lover, went for a steak option which was cooked to perfection, the juicy, tender, and full of rich flavour.
Although I am a strong believer that dessert is held by the heart not the stomach, and therefore there is always room, we were actually completely full and decided not to order.
A decision I now regret as my mouth waters with hunger as I write, especially when reciting the menu.
Options include milk and honey mille-feuille, where crisp pastry layers encased honeycomb, dulce de leche, and milk ice cream; or a rhubarb and custard doughnut, a nostalgic treat that perfectly captures classic British flavors with a refined touch.
Dining at The Winter Garden Restaurant is more than just a meal – it’s an experience that celebrates fine ingredients, skilled craftsmanship, and the enchanting surroundings of one of London’s most distinctive culinary destinations.
Whether for a special occasion or an indulgent evening out, this is a place to savour.
