Hélène Darroze at the Connaught

Hélène Darroze at the Connaught Review

La crème de la crème flock to virtuoso Hélène Darroze at the Connaught for dazzling regional French haute cuisine, served in a Edwardian wood-paneled hotel dining salon sumptiously kitted out by Parisian It-designer India Mahdavi. Taking inspiration from Les Landes in southwest France, Darroze sallies forth with a procession of magical dishes. Caviar d'Acquitaine wows with oyster tartare in a sleek Martini glass, topped with black caviar jelly and white haricot bean velouté. Spit-roasted and flambéed pigeon is served wonderfully pink, with duck foie gras and mini-Brussels sprouts. To finish, choose pear jelly or rose petal panna cotta with almond sponge. It's perfect for celebrations or special occasions, but note the high prices: £35 for lunch, £55 for Sat. brunch and £85 or £115 for dinner.
