Dinner at Alex Dilling at Hotel Cafe Royal

Michelin ⭐️⭐️ 
 
Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal was recommended by my friend who worked in the kitchen at numerous fine dining joints in London. It is currently crowned with 2 Michelin Stars, and is one of the very few highly acclaimed fine dining restaurants in London that accommodates solo diners. Diners can choose between a 5 and 7-course tasting menu but I suggest the 7-course one as the extra dishes were worth the minimal price difference.

Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal was recommended by my friend who worked in the kitchen at numerous fine dining joints in London. It is currently crowned with 2 Michelin Stars, and is one of the very few highly acclaimed fine dining restaurants in London that accommodates solo diners. Diners can choose between a 5 and 7-course tasting menu but I suggest the 7-course one as the extra dishes were worth the minimal price difference. The caviar dishes were particularly worth-remembering, thanks to Chef Alex’s work experience in a caviar-focused restaurant before. There were 3 caviar dishes in the 7-course tasting menu, and the caviar all worked really well with the sauces and proteins, especially with the crab jelly and brown butter hollandaise. The kitchen tour was another highlight during which Chef Alex introduced the kitchen and culinary philosophy of the restaurant, elevating the dining experience for solo diners like myself.
