The Square
London, United Kingdom
A rich legacy of London's the square restaurant history and milestones in fine dining excellence.
Nestled in the heart of London, The Square stood as a beacon of culinary artistry and sophistication from its inception in the early 1990s until its closing in 2020. This iconic restaurant carved a niche in the competitive London dining scene, earning accolades that marked it as a sanctuary of modern French haute cuisine.
Founding and early acclaim
Established in 1991 in the prestigious St James's district, The Square quickly garnered attention for its refined approach to French cuisine. Just three years after its opening, in 1994, it was awarded its very first Michelin star—an impressive feat that recognized its commitment to excellence in dining and the meticulous craftsmanship of its culinary team.
Relocation and pinnacle achievements
In 1997, The Square made a strategic move to the fashionable Mayfair area, a location synonymous with luxury and elegance. This relocation further elevated its status among London's elite dining establishments. The very next year, 1998, The Square achieved a significant milestone by earning its second Michelin star, cementing its reputation as one of the capital's finest culinary destinations.
Legacy and closure
For over two decades, The Square delighted diners with a seasonal menu that combined modern French techniques with artful presentation in a sophisticated yet quietly casual, art-filled setting. Despite mixed reviews reflecting the subjective nature of haute cuisine, the establishment maintained a loyal following and was revered for its exceptional service and innovative dishes. Ultimately, The Square closed its doors in January 2020, leaving behind a legacy as a landmark of London’s fine dining scene.
