Palace dinner • Raffles London at The OWO *****
💎 A Mediterranean-driven dinner inside one of London’s most storied 5-star addresses. Tucked within the former Old War Office, now reborn as a contemporary palace, the restaurant delivers a sharp, Riviera-inspired menu led by Mauro Colagreco. Expect seasonal plates, clean flavours, and an all-day dining rhythm that borrows as much from Liguria as from the Pampas. You’ll be eating in a room steeped in political intrigue, with the lingering feeling that Churchill himself might still walk through the door.
⭐️ The highlight: A nod to 1882, the year the Riviera became the United Kingdom’s favourite getaway, following Queen Victoria’s celebrated visit.
We had a lovely dinner and the food was excellent, but there was confusion at the hotel about payment and at first they thought we had just paid a £150 credit. We figured it out and they were very obliging but better communication would be helpful.
