The Connaught Grill

Timeless British Elegance in the Heart of Mayfair

The Connaught Grill is a refined, wood-panelled dining room nestled inside the luxurious Connaught hotel in London’s elegant Mayfair district. Just a short cab ride from iconic music venues in the West End, this reimagined classic offers a calm, upscale experience with a focus on British-grown ingredients and open-flame grilling. Designed by interior maestro Guy Oliver, the atmosphere is one of quiet sophistication—ideal for those looking to elevate their pre-show plans.

Why Concert-goers love it

For music fans seeking a stylish yet serene start to their night, The Connaught Grill is a gem. It’s close enough to central London venues to make it a practical pre-show stop, yet far enough to avoid the rush. The service is famously prompt and polished, so you’ll be in and out in time for curtain call. If you’re looking for a calm space to unwind before a big evening, the low noise levels and spacious seating make dining here a pleasure.

What People Say

Guests often rave about the “impeccable service” and “beautifully cooked” dishes, especially the grilled meats and seasonal vegetables. Many mention the old-school charm of the room, with its leather banquettes and intimate lighting. The wine list is frequently praised for its breadth, and several reviewers say it’s one of the best places in Mayfair for a quiet, high-quality meal.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the place for a quick bite or casual vibe—some guests found the pricing on the higher side and the atmosphere a touch too formal for a spontaneous night out. But if you’re prepared for a splurge, it delivers on all fronts.
