“What a view you get over London” from the 28th floor of Hilton Hotel on Park Lane (when it opened in 1963, the capital’s first skyscraper hotel). Run since 2006 by the Galvin Bros, there is the odd grumble that the fare is “pedestrian and overpriced”, but most diners feel you get “wonderful service and food to match the vista”, with head chef Marc Hardiman providing a variety of à la carte and tasting options. Top Tip – good-value set lunch.

“Stunningly located on the 28th floor of the Park Lane Hilton” – the Galvin Bros have run this well-known eyrie since 2006. Its “chief selling point is the panorama of London” of course, and a fair judgement currently is that: “the cooking is sound, well-executed and nicely presented, rather than stellar; but the view over Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace Gardens justify the steep prices and it’s great place for a special occasion”. Top Top – “the bar is worth a visit too, with an evening setting sun providing wonderful lighting”, and you can take in the skyline there just for the price of a cocktail.

It’s hard not to be wowed by the “wonderful vistas” over Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace at this “beautiful” 28th-floor perch. Under the Galvin Bros’ reign here (since 2006), it has generally avoided the culinary complacency typical of rooms with a view, but its cuisine did take some flak this year for “eye-watering prices” and “a loss of sparkle”. But for “a special romantic celebratory treat” or a “great venue for a business meet-up” it still has much to recommend it. Chef Marc Hardiman is still relatively new to the stoves here (having been appointed in mid 2020).

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
