Dinner by Heston Blumenthal: 140 seat capacity. The setting was designed by Adam D. Tihany and echos the 16th Century historical British style references with a subtle, elegant interior that is contemporary and innovative yet with a respect and understanding for tradition. The utilization of natural historical materials, such as wood, leather and iron, in modern ways will allow Tihany to invoke a rustic but refined atmosphere. Newly opened in January 2011. Focusing on the revival and modernization of traditional British recipes, the menu features simple modern dishes inspired by our historic gastronomic past and recipes dating as far back as the 16th century, such as Scallops with Cucumber Ketchup and Peas, Bergamot cured Mackerel Salad and Slow Cooked Short Rib of Beef. Key features include views over Hyde Park, floor to ceiling glass walls providing a glimpse into the open kitchen and a contemporary stainless steel pulley system modeled on a 16th century design for the Royal British Court's kitchens, the gears and cranks of which resemble the craftsmanship of an oversized watch, mechanically rotating a spit over an open fire. In the summer a terrace overlooking Hyde Park provides an al fresco dining option.
Bar Boulud: The menu is authentic French charcuterie served alongside seasonal bistro cooking. House made terrines, pâtés, hams and saucissons.
