Harden's survey result
Summary
Occupying the rooftop space and interior that was once Eldr (RIP), the Pantechnicon building’s main food offering has, since late 2024, been Japanese in style, under the name of the former basement restaurant. No reports as yet on its high-end kappo-style cuisine at ‘jet-set’ prices, but if the past is any guide the prime draw will be the gorgeous, Monaco-comes-to-Motcomb-Street styling of the top-floor terrace.
Summary
Feelgood vibes abound on the lovely rooftop (complete with retractable glass ceiling) of this swanky Belgravian site atop the building formerly known as ‘Pantechnicon’, whose crowd seems to be jetting in for the day from St Tropez (with pricing to match). It’s closed as we go to press as it undergoes a major reformatting, but we’re betting that on re-opening in late 2024 much of its original DNA will survive. The menu – on relaunch – will be Japanese (under the brand of what used to be the basement restaurant); and it will also be served in the space immediately below (previously Eldr).
Summary
The luxurious mix of sushi plus meat and seafood grills has inspired too little feedback as yet to rate the large, barrel-vaulted lower-ground floor of this Belgravia food and retail emporium. But such as we have is all positive.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
