If you’re looking to combine high-end design inspiration with a seriously glamorous lunch, look no further than RH London. Set within a meticulously restored 18th-century Palladian mansion in Mayfair, RH London's restaurant is one of the most aesthetically pleasing dining destinations to open in the capital in years.
Stepping into The Dining Room is an experience in itself. You’ll be dining beneath a luminous gold-leaf ceiling, surrounded by hand-blown Venetian glass chandeliers and shimmering champagne-lacquered columns. The atmosphere is undeniably opulent, yet the menu keeps things refreshingly approachable. You won't find overly fussy, experimental plates here; instead, the kitchen focuses on elevated, high-quality classics. Think satisfyingly buttery lobster rolls, perfectly cooked rotisserie chicken, and the kind of high-end 'nursery food', like their indulgent, caviar-topped baked potatoes, that feels like a decadent treat. It’s comforting, reliable, and expertly executed, making it a brilliant spot for a business lunch or a post-shopping reward.
If the weather is playing ball, make a beeline for the rooftop restaurant, The Perch. With its smoked-glass aviary canopy and views over the Mayfair rooftops, it feels like a secret garden oasis in the heart of the city. The service here is attentive, and while the wine list is undoubtedly punchy (this is Mayfair, after all), the sheer theatre of the setting makes it well worth the splurge.
This is a place designed to induce serious lifestyle envy, and for that reason, tables are currently highly sought after. Our advice? Book well in advance to secure a spot in the main dining hall, and leave yourself plenty of time to wander through the galleries afterwards. It’s the ultimate way to spend a luxurious afternoon in the heart of London.
