Criterion
A constant on London’s fine dining scene since opening in 1874, Criterion offers exquisite European cuisine in an opulent, dramatic setting. Indulge in a typically luxurious 3-course menu alongside your chilled champagne cocktail, with dishes including pork belly with potatoes and homemade slaw, or white chocolate mousse with poached rhubarb.
Widely regarded as one of London’s most spectacular dining rooms, this magical Grade II-listed building features stunning Neo-Byzantine design, with gilded ceilings, glittering mirrored panels and red velvet swirled throughout. Criterion Restaurant sits just next to Piccadilly Circus Tube Station.
