Harden's survey result
Summary
You feel “far from the madding crowd, but in the heart of Mayfair” at this “stylish” haunt “tucked away near Park Lane”, where “a pretty entrance through a city garden leads to a calm and well-styled modern interior”. It’s a “spacious” and luxurious room which is “great for business, but which would also impress a date” (although it can also seem “a bit stiff” for some tastes). Having won gastronomic acclaim (not least two Michelin stars) in recent times with some “exemplary” modern cuisine, Arnaud Bignon moved on in mid-2018, perhaps explaining why ratings in this year’s survey were lower across the board. New exec chef Alex Dilling (ex-Hélène Darroze) has promised to shake up the menu, with a focus on British and fresh produce. One constant, however: “one of London’s best wine selections, especially if you are able to use your business credit card”.
Summary
Marlon Abela’s “serene oasis tucked away in the midst of bustling Mayfair is a delight”, and was one of London’s highest-rated all-rounders this year. Arnaud Bignon’s “terrific cuisine” has “the hallmarks of impressive refinement and precision”, but even so risks being eclipsed by arguably “the biggest and most-in-depth wine list in the country”. Service is “exceptional”, in particular the “charming and knowledgeable sommelier”, and “a well-spaced interior that ought be be very corporate is actually lovely and memorable”. “The only downer is the eye-popping prices” but on practically all accounts they are worth it.
Summary
“Absolute professionalism” characterises Marlon Abela’s calm “oasis”, “hidden” down a mews in a quiet part of Mayfair, particularly when it comes to chef Arnaud Bignon’s “complex” cuisine, or the cellaring of its “amazing wine list” (“arrive an hour early to read it”). Prices are scary however, and although the setting can seem “romantic”, it can also appear “stuffy” or “lacking atmosphere”.
Summary
Arnaud Bignon’s cuisine is “top notch”, but it’s the “hugely impressive wine list” (“What breadth! What depth!”) that draws connoisseurs to Marlon Abela’s “spacious”, “lovely” and luxurious haunt, “tucked away” in a Mayfair mews; the food can seem “a bit frothy and fancy” though… and “fiendishly expensive”.
