The take

The Take

The Vibe

London's upper echelon of restaurants is captured by the 2018 OAD Top 100+ list. The tone is elegant and sophisticated: the write-up discusses Michelin-starred institutions, a 'classical French lineage' alongside 'Modern French' innovation, and restaurants that combine theatrical design with serious kitchen work. The piece frames these places as prestige destinations that attract peer esteem from chefs, sommeliers and frequent fine-diners, so readers should expect refined rooms, polished service and menus aimed at a discerning audience rather than casual dining.

Ordering Tips

When using the OAD list as a guide, lean into the aspects it privileges: the cellar and the service team. Deep cellars and structured sommelier teams make it worth asking about the wine programme and the sommelier's recommendations. Because these restaurants are positioned at the fine-dining end of the scale, expect a beverage selection that complements a formal dinner service; engaging the sommelier will surface the cellar strengths that the list highlights.
