Row on 5

London, Mayfair - Modern British - Restaurant - ££££

A gastronomic vision of quiet luxury

Overall Rating: World Class

Uniqueness:Does the establishment stand out in the context of the local area? World Class

Deliciousness:How delicious is the food? World Class

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Exceptional

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Exceptional

Jason Atherton’s most ambitious project to date is a big-budget production showcasing the chef’s deep English roots and global experiences. It speaks to an indulgent, celebratory mood with a luxury-laden tasting menu: a Louët-Feisser oyster, pristine cubes of Cornish bluefin tuna, stunningly fresh langoustine in a delicate jelly base – and that’s just the snacks in the marbled, wine-lined bar. Yet it’s not just the excellence of the food that makes Row on 5 such a memorable experience. From the sweep of the dining room, with its open kitchen, honeyed lighting, and perfect hospitality, to a muted soundtrack of late 20th-century rock classics, not a single detail has been overlooked. And, if you’re a fan of The Great British Menu, you may even clock the other celebrity chef running the show – Spencer Metzger. The oh-so-discreet entrance hints at the cost of it all. Even the wine collection (possibly the largest in the UK) can take a wrecking...

Even the wine collection (possibly the largest in the UK) can take a wrecking ball to your bank balance. But give the unpretentiously helpful sommelier a budget and you’re guaranteed to drink something delicious from a wine region you’ve never heard of. Our tip: The chef’s counter seats are highly coveted and provide one of the best spots in town for a solo diner.

My visit at Row on 5 was one of the best culinary experiences I ever had (and I have been to some of the best fine dining places both in the UK and on the continent). Row on 5 is in the very same league like L'Enclume at home. There wasn't any dish to disappoint, everthing I had was top notch. I particularly liked the 'rhythm' of the whole evening - neither too quick, nor too slow - exactly the way I wish it to have. Finally: I particularly enjoyed the wine recommendations by Roxane Dupuy.
