Fine Dining on Site

Angela Hartnett's MENU (one michelin star): MENU at The Connaught maintains its distinctive stature, complemented by an extensive wine list from the cellars. Crisp white tablecloths over 'black-tulip' and olive skirts set the mood upon entry and lighting has been softened and then redistributed to give a more flattering atmosphere. This is complemented by two sleek 'Balection' fireplaces. Inside the dining room, large contemporary oil paintings adorn the more intimate space. The restaurant's original window tables now offer plush burgundy mohair sofas and fine china. The Grill Room (one Michelin star): Hinting at The Connaught's past formality, in addition to the main restaurant menu, the Grill Room offers guests a Menu Prestige. All menus are complemented by an extensive wine list from the original cellars. The Grill Room features deep sage green carpeting in a subtle leaf pattern and two striking floral oil paintings.
