AMAZING dining experience.  We had the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairing.  Excellent quality and staff were absolutely spoiling the guests with top-notch service.  Every single dish was exceptional. It's a very memorable meal and a dining experience.

We were invited to meet the chefs in the kitchen and given a tour. Lovely experience.  Super friendly chefs.

Highly recommended and must experience.

Refined, elegant food in a classy dining room. Classic French techniques and flavours, with friendly, formal service. The lunch menu is very gold value at £125 for three courses, plus bread and various bites.

The butter was extraordinary!

A truly amazing 3-star experience here. Every dish was pleasantly presented with details.  The wait staff to customer ratio was roughly 1:2, which gave a quality service to every diner.

The food in Helene Darroze is definitely NOT worth the money and the pompous 3 Michelin star. In fact, the food was mediocre, delayed and lazy service, recent renovation is aesthetically boring and not as good as it was before. My partner threw up during the night after dinner. I had lobster and left half of it on the plate. The most non-delicious lobster I ever ate. And all of this for a ridiculous bill of £940 and we only had 2 courses plus desert. Ladies and gentlemen: if you want to taste & enjoy a proper 3 Michelin star menu and ambience, book Le Cinq in George V Paris, and definitely not the overrated Helene Darroze. Spare yourself the disappointment.

My brother generously gifted me with an incredible surprise Birthday dinner at the phenomenal, Hélène Darroze at the Connaught. Our experience was beyond anything we could have possibly hoped for in visiting a three-star Michelin restaurant where the best chefs in the world create masterpieces of edible art. From the get-go we received a call from the lovely reception staff at the Hélène Darroze informing us that, as it was my birthday, they had generously decided to upgrade our experience from the dining hall to the Chefs Table - free of charge! We were blown away upon our arrival to be led down a separate entrance to the chefs table which is positioned opposite the main kitchen, giving us a first hand view of the entire service. We were introduced to the brilliant Marco Zampese (executive chef) who courteously gave us a tour of the kitchens, spoke happily to us about his craft, and always made us feel at home throughout the service. Even when things were busy, he made time for us and asked our opinions of the food. He is a kind, passionate, calm, and experienced chef who made us feel like we were at our friend’s house as he cooked for us all while maintaining the elegance of a three star Michelin restaurant. I was greatly inspired by both him and his team of chefs who worked diligently with a quiet elegance.

The food was a delightful blend of exciting and, at times, provocative flavours that forced you to challenge your previous perceptions about food. The blue fin tuna was as refreshing as jumping into an ocean contrasted by the warmth of the Guinea fowl which swiftly transported you to a cozy cottage on an autumn’s chilly evening. Mid-way through, we were very grateful to receive an additional ox tongue dish as compliments of the chef. This was an unexpected highlight for me as it is an ingredient I never thought I would enjoy until I tried it here. It felt like butter in my mouth. The dynamic textures of all the dishes were as varied as a wildflower garden with the rice pudding and chocolate desserts taking centre stage. We were also generously treated to a few extra dishes which were not on the menu including the ox tongue dish, a small birthday cake, a pastry with pistachio cream and a luxurious chocolate on the side, as well as two small cakes to take home with us. Clearly we were lavishly blessed and could not stop saying ‘thank you’ for all we gratefully received.

Ironically and as is so often the case, the food served is only one small part of a far bigger picture. It’s the people around you who create and sustain a culture and environment of warmth and hospitality. In my case, having an entire kitchen of three-star Michelin chefs turn down the lights at the end of our meal to sing Happy Birthday to me at the top of their lungs was beyond the cherry on top of a cake. To all those who made my birthday meal so unforgettable and precious, thank you so much for an experience the likes of which I doubt I will ever encounter again! This birthday will definitely be one I remember for the rest of my life thanks to you! For this reason, Hélène Darroze at the Connaught is truly one-of-a-kind. They have managed to do what many other restaurants fail to: they maintained a relaxed, warm, and welcoming atmosphere in an incredibly high tier setting without creating a climate of snobbery and exclusivism. After all, the food, incredible as it might be, means a whole lot more when it is served with love and attention to detail whether it is a home cooked meal made by a loved one, or a seven course meal at a three-star Michelin restaurant. Hélène Darroze at the Connaught, you have a warm and generous heart that I pray you never lose.

Finally I want to give a special mention to our waiter, Jacapo, who was very friendly, attentive, informative, and kind to us. To all the incredible chefs, waiters/waitresses, receptionists and the lovely staff, you are amazing! Thank you for all your hard work, hospitality, grace, and friendliness toward us while we dined with you. God bless!
