From Hanover Square to Piccadilly

Saturday, March 14th , 2026

 

Mazarine in Hanover Square is a smart French restaurant whose kitchen has a chef with a serious pedigree. We had a very good meal here, with a lovely eel croquette canape being a particular highlight, as well as a beautifully cooked Dover sole dish. The expensive wine list is the main caveat.

The Ritz has been my favourite fine dining restaurant in London for quite some time. This latest meal showed the kitchen to be cruising along in top form. From familiar dishes such as the well-established canapes through to a superb veal dish and new desserts, this was high-class cooking.
