For a memorable first time
Hawksmoor
London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Dublin
The most reliably brilliant introduction to serious UK dining. British steak done properly, full menu rather than tasting-only, and a room that feels celebratory without being intimidating.
The Ivy Asia
London and across the UK
The Ivy group at its most considered, with a pan-Asian menu and a room designed for occasion eating. Less serious than Michelin but feels properly special.
