Introducing the Ritz Restaurant Terrace
The Ritz Restaurant has opened its terrace for the summer season. On sunny days, diners can enjoy Executive Head Chef John Williams’s ‘palace-style’ cooking and the exceptional service for which The Ritz is renowned, whilst gazing over billowing blooms to the verdant Green Park beyond. This secluded terrace features a beautiful Italian mosaic floor surrounded by ornate wrought iron balustrades adorned with vibrant floral boxes. With tables draped in crisp white linen, topped with gleaming silverware and sheltered by vast parasols, The Ritz Restaurant Terrace is a stylish and sophisticated sanctuary amidst the clamour in central London.
The menu of The Ritz Restaurant features classic French dishes created using the finest British seasonal ingredients, offering diners a selection of cuisine perfect for a splendid al fresco lunch. Guests can select the fresh flavours and subtle textures of dressed crab rolls with avocado and Charentais melon, or tender Var salmon with zesty and fresh lemon verbena and broad beans. Even the delicate desserts suit the season with a selection that includes sweet white chocolate mousse, fresh raspberries, fragrant basil sorbet and rich yoghurt sauce.
The Ritz Restaurant is considered by many to be the most beautiful hotel restaurant in the world. The vast floor to ceiling windows, the rich and varied use of soft pink, pale green and veined white marble, and the dazzling garlands of chandeliers reflected in the wall of panelled mirror, combine to create one of the most spectacular interiors in London, as charming by day as by night. The West facing windows overlook The Terrace and The Green Park and during the day, the sunshine enhances the interior brightness while in the low evening light, the circle of chandeliers and table candelabras create a magical reflection in the mirrors.
Executive Chef John Williams MBE has been at the helm of the hotel’s dining service for the past nine years and he has made it his mission to ensure The Ritz hallmark of excellence is delivered with every meal. This philosophy has never been more apparent than in The Ritz Restaurant with its rich culture of Escoffier-inspired food and service, its selection of menus featuring great classical dishes alongside British specialities and its strong focus on seasonality.
The Ritz Restaurant offers impeccable service, that is overseen by Simon Girling (Executive Food and Beverage Operations Manager), perfectly executed by waiters - in their signature tail coats, like a beautifully choreographed ballet. The legendary wine list is overseen by Head Sommelier, Tobias Brauweiler, who came in the top six of the UK Sommelier of the Year Competition 2012.
