New Year’s Eve Restaurants

Fancy a slap-up New Year’s Eve dinner? We’ve put together a list of London’s top restaurants offering NYE feasts, whatever your budget.

Extravagant

Splurge at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, where a seven course feast with wines and champagne at midnight is £440 a head. The menu includes suitably luxurious foods like scallops with caviar, foie gras and lobster.

The eight course tasting menu at Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley includes pork belly and venison, and the traditional cheese course is replaced with a filling dish of Munster, Dorset bell heather honey and baked potato. It’s £295 per person; add the sommelier’s selection of matching wines for £95.

At three-Michelin starred Restaurant Gordon Ramsay there will be a selection of seasonal dishes put together by head chef Clare Smyth, priced at £250 per person.

Our 2012 All in One Ultimate Restaurant winner The Ledbury will offer an eight course tasting menu with oyster tartare, jowl of pork cooked in spices and roast sea bass, for £140 a head or £210 with wines.


Mid-range

Medlar in Chelsea received its first Michelin star earlier this year. For NYE there are five courses – choose from fillet of Red Ruby beef with braised shin croquette or roast turbot for the main – for £75 per person.

Thanks to consistently delivering excellent food, Corrigan’s has an impeccable reputation. Their three course NYE dinner is £75, with a choice of seabass or beef for the main.

Adam Byatt’s Trinity opened to great acclaim in 2006 and is still one of London’s best neighbourhood restaurants. On New Year’s Eve you can take advantage of an early dinner service (5.30 – 7.45pm) for £70. The six course tasting menu will include partridge and scallop ceviche.

Another recent Michelin star recipient, Launceston Place in South Kensington is serving a reliably British menu with five courses, to include slow-cooked salmon and 32-day aged beef fillet. £65 a head.

Value

Cinnamon Kitchen’s menu will offer Indian reversions of traditionally festive dishes like grilled goose breast with vindaloo spices and chargrilled saddle of lamb with saffron rice. It’s £55 for four courses.

Bistrot Bruno Loubet is usually buzzing of an evening, thanks to Loubet’s clever take on contemporary French cuisine. On New Year’s Eve there will be a three course menu with a choice of sea bass, venison or baked cepes and chestnuts as the vegetarian option. The early sitting (6-7pm) is £50 a head.

The atmospheric Galvin La Chapelle is offering three courses for just £45, as long as you dine early (6-8pm). Choose from venison, chicken, brill or gnocchi for the main course.
