We were looking for something a little special (read: fancy) when we decided to try Alyn Williams at the Westbury, Mayfair. For me, the biggest selling point was the Vegetarian Tasting Menu (with the option for wine pairing if you really feel like splashing out). It was great to have this ready to go instead of desperately trying to scan the menus for the ‘V’ sign to see what sort of meal you can cobble together from the menu.
We went to this restaurant to celebrate my niece getting her degree and had a wonderful lunch. I believe the cooking and food here can't be bettered in London. We had an amuse bouche of risotto with generous truffle shavings but every course was inventive and delicous. The staff are helpful and are keen to make your experience enjoyable. I eat gluten free and they couldn't be more helpful to accomodate me. Bravo!
This is the last of my back-logged updates from my meals prior to our trip to the South East. Our meal at Alyn Williams was completely unplanned, so much so that our last minute booking via OpenTable was not received by the restaurant. Thankfully, despite the small hiccup they had plenty of spare tables available on a cold Thursday night. It really is a shame that despite holding a Michelin star and being very fairly priced, the restaurant remains pretty quiet particularly during midweek.
It's in a nice posh hotel so expect few covers and more personalised waitering service. That's exactly what we got.
They only have taster menus but we were offered the option to switch dishes between the taster menus.
Naturally you paying for the attentiveness of the staff and the aesthetics of the food. But favourite food of the night? The foie gras for sure! This is where I became a foie gras convert!
We went here on weekend in a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The place was really beautiful, had very relaxing and warm atmosphere. Menu looked good. I had beef rib eye and my friend had pork belly and both items were served quickly, very nicely presented and tasted great. Wines were so good; we were completely impressed by the food, ambience and service. Desserts were amazing too. This place is a must visit. Definitely recommended!
I went here for lunch with my wife today and it was one great experience I had there. The space was good the way they used it and staff was really polite. Menu looked really good and elegant. Wine and beers were great. My slow cooked salmon was great and poached peach was heavenly. I would definitely recommend this place.
A couple of weeks ago I had some VIPs visiting (very important parents) so after a weekend in Ockenden, a delightful dog friendly dinner at Dock Kitchen, I also treated them to a Mayfair night out, since I had been wanting to try Alyn Williams for a while. . The restaurant is part of the Westbury Hotel, a stone’s throw from Regent street and, sort of expected around here, has an ambience of understated elegance and sober opulence. It’s not very big and it’s pretty welcoming with warmly toned lights and well-spaced out tables.
Alyn Williams was the head chef at Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley when it won its two Michelin stars before setting up his own restaurant in 2011. I’ve been wanting to try it for a while and when The Better Half (TBH) and I came up with the Michelin Star Experiment, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to visit.
The summer heat is still pretty unrelenting but I had to nip in to London for the sole purpose of having a morning suit tailored. Our wedding is not until next year, but I do like to be organised and not leave things to the last minute. When it comes to tailoring, there was only one destination I had in mind – Saville Row. I had an appointment for 10:30 with Dege & Skinner which would give me plenty of time until our lunch booking at nearby Alyn Williams at the Westbury for 13:15. Surprisingly, the whole process went very smoothly and by 11:30 I was done and dusted, with my measurements taken and a (chunky) deposit paid. So off we went to Selfridges
dominated the centre of the room at Alyn Williams. As we were presented with the menus a barrage. of nibbles were sent from the kitchen, the pick of which being oyster leaf and. The first course of langoustine,. lemongrass, chilli, coconut and cucumber was obviously Thai inspired and was a. light refreshing start to the meal. The langoustines were plump and sweet and
Went here for an anniversary meal while on our London trip. We only ordered the set lunch menu, but got a lot more than what we expected. Food and services were good. Highly recommended!
I was alone and tried the tasting menu. An upscale, Michelin start, with good wine menu. All delicious, fresh, somewhat innovative, great mix of flavours and texture. Will definitely return soon.
It's a Michelin star restaurant. What more can I say that an accreditation like that can't say for me? Perfect ambience, lovely attentive staff, amazing food. We had the tasting menu with paired wines skipping dessert (we aren't sweet people but I did spy the dessert and almost regretted my decision!). For a special occasion I can't flaw it. They even had a Western Australian wine so I was chuffed (Cullen).
The best meal I have ever had. They catered for halal with some notice and the food was absolutely top notch. I would definitely go back.
I would recommend contacting them early, and they will do their best to accomodate.
Had the Chefs Choice lunch menu and it was really really nice. Obviously very expensive but truly great flavours.
Fantastic place!!!! Very tasty and quality meal! So great service and well trained personal! We was really enjoy this place and will difenetly come back here again! 👍🏻
