Gordon Ramsay's Royal Hospital Road three-Michelin-starred kitchen in Chelsea London, opened 1998 and held its three stars longer than any other restaurant in the UK.
Order: The Pressed Foie Gras course and the lobster ravioli that have been on the menu since opening.
Tip: Lunch (Tuesday to Friday) at £140 is half the dinner tasting price with the same kitchen run.
Heston Blumenthal's historical-British research kitchen inside the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in London, opened 2011 and Michelin two-starred, plates dishes from 1300 to 1850.
Order: The Meat Fruit (chicken liver mousse in a mandarin-orange shell), unchanged from 2011.
Tip: Lunch a la carte at £55 for two courses is half dinner. Sit at the open kitchen counter to watch the mousse-shaping.
Claude Bosi's two-Michelin-starred dining room on the first floor of the 1911 Michelin Building in Chelsea London, opened 2017, runs ingredient-driven French cooking.
Order: Cornish turbot with Champagne sauce, or the wood pigeon with foie gras.
Tip: Sit by the iconic stained-glass Michelin Man windows. Lunch is half the dinner price and just as well-staffed.
Marcus Wareing's one-Michelin-starred dining room inside The Berkeley hotel in Knightsbridge London, opened 2014, runs a seasonal British tasting menu across six courses.
Order: Whatever Scottish lobster preparation is on, and the chocolate pudding for two to close.
Tip: Pre-theatre at 17:30 to 18:30 runs a £75 three-course; the kitchen is the same as later sittings.
