About Dinner by Heston Blumenthal
The Spotlight on Dinner by Heston Blumenthal

Michelin-Starred British Fare Steps from London’s Cultural Scene

Located in the luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal offers a refined, historically-inspired take on British cuisine. With a Michelin star to its name, this elegant yet approachable restaurant blends cutting-edge culinary techniques with recipes from Britain’s gastronomic past. Just a short ride from iconic music venues in central London, it’s a stylish and memorable choice for pre- or post-show dining.

Why Concert-goers love it

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal is less than 15 minutes from some of London’s biggest concert halls, making it a convenient stop for fans heading to an evening show. The service is known for being efficient and professional, which helps you stay on schedule. While the setting is upscale, the atmosphere is relaxed enough for a pre-concert bite without feeling too formal. And if you’re looking to linger, the views over Hyde Park and the dramatic open kitchen provide plenty to enjoy before heading out.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to try something special before a show
  • Solo travelers checking a legendary artist off their list
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of a concert
  • Fans who love a lively, stylish pre-show setting
  • Budget-conscious music fans looking to splurge just a little

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the inventive dishes like the signature Meat Fruit and Tipsy Cake, calling them “surreal” and “memorable.” The service is often described as “flawless” and “attentive without being stuffy,” and many note the unique historical concept as a refreshing twist. Diners also appreciate the beautiful setting and say it’s a great place to mark a special occasion—like a long-awaited concert night.

Areas for Improvement

As you’d expect from a Michelin-starred spot in Knightsbridge, prices are on the higher side, and a few guests mention that the atmosphere can feel a bit formal for those in casual concert gear. Reservations are also highly recommended, especially on weekends.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking to pair your concert night with a truly memorable meal, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal delivers historic British cuisine in a sleek, central setting that’s both convenient and impressive.
