Hélène Darroze at the Connaught

All-you-can-eat extravagance

It's Mayfair, it's plush, and you’ll want to splurge – there are too many good things on this menu not to. The charcuterie, terrines and smoked salmon are merely starters, with luxed-up US-style mains of mac 'n' cheese, hot dog or eggs Benedict (with Périgord truffle) seeming almost de trop for first-timers. Service is posh and staff are plentiful; one chef is employed purely to make waffles to order, in a vintage cast-iron waffle-maker.

Top Tip:

Don't be in any hurry: this is the Rolls-Royce of brunches, and must be luxuriated in. Arrive almost fainting with hunger, or you may be unable to go the distance.

Brunch: Sat 11am–3pm.
