Dinner opened at the Mandarin Oriental in 2011 as Heston Blumenthal's historical British project — every dish on the menu drawn from a documented English recipe of the 14th to 19th century — and has held two Michelin stars since 2014. The meat fruit (chicken liver parfait disguised as a mandarin) is the dish that defined the room and remains the only one the regulars order without thinking.
Book the lunch tasting on a weekday for the half-price version of the dinner experience, sit overlooking Hyde Park, take the meat fruit and the tipsy cake. The dinner service is for the serious occasion.
The historical British that justifies its stars.
