Charming
Great for fine wines
Good for special occasions

For many visitors to Claridge’s, the Foyer is the first thing that captures their imagination. In the centre of the room a striking Chihuly sculpture hangs like a chandelier. The walls shimmer with original art deco mirrors. Music drifts from the grand piano. It is here that lunch and dinner are served, as well as our inventive twists on classic cocktails.

In the Reading Room, the banquettes create a more intimate dining experience. With intuitive service and a menu of classic and contemporary cuisine, you will soon see why the Foyer & Reading Room has delighted guests for over 150 years.

As always we REALLY enjoyed our visit to Claridge's Reading Room this time for a celebratory luncheon. Service ; impeccable; food superb; wine divine it is far and away our favourite place to eat. Yes coming in at just under £700 for the two of us it's not cheap but then one wouldn't expect it to be 9and we pushed the boat out a bit because it was a big birthday!) If you want cheap go to Macdonald's (I imagine) if you want class, perfection and sheer joy go to Claridge's. We can't wait to return!

I booked few days before and still didn’t get to enjoy the main dining area and this happened twice… ppl who book days before should be given table in main dining area instead of corner room

As expected, the service was impeccable and the food was excellent. Compared to other 5 star luxury hotel restaurants such as The Ritz and The Lanesborough, Claridge’s is considerably more expensive without delivering anything extra.

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary .The staff helped to make it special. We had some very expensive Laurent Perrier Rose to start with our starters, followed by a pleasant Sancerre with our Lobster Wellington. We finished off with a shared raspberry/ meringue dessert. All very relaxed in a beautiful hotel.
