Orrery is an elegant fine dining restaurant in Marylebone, serving refined French cuisine shaped by the seasons. Open for lunch and dinner, it offers a sophisticated setting well suited to romantic dinners, business lunches and special occasions. Working closely with farmers, fishermen and artisan suppliers, Orrey's menus focus on precision, balance and depth of flavour.
The kitchen at Orrery is led by executive chef Pierre Minotti, formerly of the two-Michelin-starred Alex Dilling at Hotel Cafe Royal. His cooking draws on the traditions of classical French cuisine while showcasing the best of British seasonal produce.
The restaurant offers tasting menus featuring familiar dishes revisited with clarity and restraint, creating a contemporary interpretation of traditional French cooking. Dishes include delights such as caviar paired with smoked Devon eel, cured sea bass and potato, or a reimagined bouillabaisse combining Cornish mackerel with fennel and finger lime. Other plates include John Dory served with brown crab, fresh peas and lemon verbena, quail egg with English green asparagus, chestnut gnocchi and vin jaune and aged duck accompanied by black pudding, onion grelot and Manuka honey.
A selection of aged cheeses is served with English rhubarb, sourdough and salted butter, while desserts may include Gariguette strawberries with elderflower, French meringue and cheesecake Chantilly, or chocolate with almond and coffee. Wine sits at the heart of the experience. The Salon du Vin houses an 800-label collection reflecting the restaurant’s French heritage alongside a broader global offering. Curated wine pairings can also accompany each tasting menu.
Inside, Orrery is dark and atmospheric, with tiled flooring, dark wooden tables and chairs, mirrors and eclectic artwork lining the walls. A large vintage-style clock adds character to the space. The restaurant also features a covered rooftop terrace filled with greenery and olive trees, offering a light, Mediterranean-inspired setting for al fresco dining in warmer months.
