   I think this restaurant is super overrated. I ordered the 5 course experience and I found none of it amazing. I have eaten in other restaurants with Michelin stars and this one has disappointed me a lot, I expected more and better flavor, better served dishes. I felt overwhelmed by the staff, in a not friendly atmosphere.

   As well as truly exceptional food (my favourite was the Pheasant Truffle supplement closely followed by the Wagyu Beef), the atmosphere was welcoming and we were also lucky to get a kitchen tour as it was for my dad’s birthday. Loved it!!

   It was the first time my wife and I have eaten at Helene Darroze’s restaurant though have eaten at several 3 star Michelin restaurants previously. I’m pleased to say we weren’t disappointed, both the food and staff were excellent. On top of the standard 7 course set menu we chose 2 dishes from the Truffle menu, scallops and the pheasant both were amazing and we’re definitely loving the white truffle. Wine is expensive at £140 for the Chablis but was really nice. Quality of food was also really good and we struggled getting through all dishes! Although there were only 7 dishes, there were probably as many again when you add canapés and extra dishes provided by the chef. An extra was also the opportunity to visit the kitchen which I love doing elsewhere and would definitely recommend doing at Helene Darroze as it makes you appreciate the huge amount of work and the number of staff it takes to prepare your food and hence the cost. Loved this restaurant and would love to come back. Definitely recommend!!

    This is such an amazing restaurant. Amazing staff and environment! The warm service made me feel that the whole experience is the best in London so far. Thanks for Enrico and Giuseppe specially to make our lunch experience wonderful! They made us feel so warm and welcomed! This is the best part of experience throughout the whole journey of visit. The food is great with large portion for each course, which made the price worthy. We spent such a nice afternoon here, and I have highly recommended this restaurant to many of my friends. The desserts are also amazing! I like the scallop the most.

    First the good… the reservations team was excellent. We had 4 surprise guests and the reservations team was able to extend our reservation to 8 persons on very short notice. The good news ends there. My son and I lunched at the same restaurant last year and the menu simply hadn’t changed! I find that seriously disappointing from a well regarded chef. Next the service…. Tired, absent, and extremely slow. Our lunch - 5 courses took 4 hours. This meant that we waited for extraordinary lengths of time between courses. As a result the food was also substandard. The cuttlefish with XO sauce was rubbery and did not go with a potato accompaniment! The duck was worst of all - cold, over cooked and salty! The deserts were prepared by amateurs and lacked precision and care. The other courses were simply ok! Not once did anyone ask how our meal was faring!!! Appalling experience and I / we will never be back. I would strongly discourage diners … simply not worth it …. At all.

    Hélène Darroze at The ConnaughtResponded on 12 August 2022Dear Mr Sawhney Our restaurant uses the best products in season and when someone visits us within the same period as it was the case of your son, we might be using the ingredients which happen to be at their best. We were sad to hear the service felt slow and some of the dishes not of your taste, we take your feedback on board to improve. Thank you for your kind words in regards of our Reservations team, which were very pleased to know that you really appreciated their prompt action.

    That’s just got to be the best value 7 Course 3 Michelin star Lunch out there today. It was simply stunning 😍to taste and stunning in value! The experience was even better when I decided to ask the Sommelier (Lukas) to choose only one wine for the whole meal and the Austrian organic wine was simply exquisite too that he chose. Not too fancy in the usual ‘reveals’ of meals you usually get elsewhere - but flavours of from the duck and lobster courses were amazing. As my wife likes vegetarian options they even swapped the duck course for a beautiful leek wellington - which was 🤩 awesome. It’s a definite return trip to London to this one ! (And I’ve never said that to any Michelin restaurant before)

    It’s a great experience to have a 3-starred Michelin restaurant meal yesterday, I was very enjoying in the meal. However, there’s some pity that I have to say. First, the way of confirmation of the booking was weird. I received a call to confirm the booking but the staff wanted me to say my card number in order to guarantee the booking, which was strange , maybe you let me type the card number on the website, booking system or using Apple Pay, your way to confirm the booking is so weird that I suspected it’s a fraud. Secondly, we ordered the 7-courses tasting menu last night, but we waited for a extremely long time before main dish coming, approximately 40mins, which cause everyone has finished the meal but we haven’t. Not only we were the last-leaving table of guests last night but also we were forced to cancel the next schedule because of the delay of the main dish. But I have to say, this restaurant is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever tried, but some pity made the experience not as nice as I felt.

    Hélène Darroze at The ConnaughtResponded on 10 May 2022Dear Uhow Pong, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. As OT is a third-party provider we can’t change the way we can secure the bookings through them, nevertheless we take your feedback on board to ensure our guests have a smooth experience. We would also like to apologise for the delay during your experience. I believe, however, that on the night my team promptly took action by amending the bill and charging only 5 instead of the 7 courses that you had.

    Very good restaurant, typical helene darroze, but not sure at all why it received a 3rd michelin star and if it is justified, even if compared to others in London it might be the case, Michelin guide being quite unfairly treating restaurant in its own kindgom of France VS where it competes with others. Not as bad as in NCY though. Food is not light and following the post pandemic trend in London, sauces are a main source of calories, as well as the desserts, the noble ingredients being more scarce. But is is of very good quality. The price is justified, even if really this should be a very solid 2* star so not the bargain you might think it is. Wine list is superb but prices are mostly stratospheric, corkage doubled in a few years but still more fair. The room has been completely refurbished and it is a shame, the quiet, private and classy atmosphere is gone, replaced by a cacophonie of textures, materials and pastel colors, looking more like a trying to be trendy 1990s hotel luxury brasserie. Overall a solid restaurant, but really not the exceptional experience you could expect if you have been lucky enough to experience some more unique 3* michelin restaurant before.

    Hélène Darroze at The ConnaughtResponded on 6 April 2022Dear BadenBaden We would like thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. Since the restaurant opened in 2008, we pride ourselves for utilising the best seasonal ingredients and, although, of course, sauces play an important part in each dish, they are not meant to take the spotlight from the main ingredient. Our philosophy hasn’t changed in the years and it won’t ever change. We thank you for your feedback and we hope to be able to welcome you back in the future,

    The food and service are incredible. But I’m afraid the overall experience is let down by the kids in hoodies and trainers hunched over their phones. I guess that’s the clientele a central London 3* restaurant attracts, and the restaurant has to go with it. Any imposition of a dress code or phone restrictions would no doubt soon be shot down by these entitled offspring

    Didn’t respect dietary requirement so waited again for them to re-make. An insect fly into my drink and the staff took the bottle away then never came back with replacement. The food is generic and generally on the salty side. Overall couldn’t believe this is 3star as no where near Fat Duck/Waterside Inn etc.

    The service was amazing, the FOH staff were absolutely amazing however the food was very underwhelming, for the price we paid and for it too be a 3 star Michelin I was expecting way more from the food Beautifully presented but the depth of flavours lacked

    It was my wife's birthday and we had not been to this restaurant before but had frequented a number of other 3 Michelin star establishments in London. They have all been superb but this restaurant took everything to the next level. 4* Michelin stars anyone?. The service from the booking process through to the desert and bar experience afterward was exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble. We were lucky enough to experience the chef's table and the wonderful theatre this involved. The food and pairings were delightful and a sight to behold. I experienced the surprise of the non-alcoholic pairing created by the sommelier, just brilliant The whole team made our year and my wife's birthday. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again soon

    Hélène Darroze at The ConnaughtResponded on 8 February 2022Dear Damien, It is delightful to read that you enjoyed your experience so much! Not sure if there would ever be 4 for stars but we’d take them! We are so happy that you enjoyed seeing the Chef’s at work. Please know that reading your comments in regards of the service makes us really proud: I have, of course, shared your comments with the whole team. We look forward to having the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future. Mirko Benzo General Manager Hélène Darroze at The Connaught

    I was underwhelmed. The portions were generous, the baba over generous. The upgrades were okay and overpriced. This was a two star experience for me.

    Every year around Christmas time I take my mother out for a special meal and experience. Helene Darroze was without doubt special and we had a lovely, lovely evening. I feel terrible saying anything negative knowing how much effort, innovation and creation it takes to put a menu like this together. I will just say two things; too many staff (different staff) coming to the table asking if everything is ok. Each time was quite a disturbance (a lot of staff at Waterside in and The Fat Duck, but they have mastered how to do this). Lastly, the bill came to £841, for the 5 course tasting menu, one Kir Royale, three double gin and tonics, one glass of wine and one armagnac. This is about 40% more than I have paid before and I have been to all three Michelin restaurants is this country, plus other abroad. Not sure the food justify this additional cost compared to other three star restaurants. However, there's no denying the food is amazing.

    Hélène Darroze at The ConnaughtResponded on 1 January 2022Thank you so much for choosing us for your yearly special meal! We are very happy that your evening was lovely and you enjoyed the food. We are sad to read about the service interruptions: We are so lucky to have a team of passionate people who really love their job and strive every day for excellence. We welcome this feedback to improve and be better. We are really grateful that you shared your experience and recognised the effort, innovation and love for the craft we put into Helene Darroze.
