Bar Boulud at The Mandarin Oriental

Daniel Boulud is renowned for his soulful interpretation of traditional French cuisine recently gaining three Michelin stars in his New York restaurant. The essence of Bar Boulud London’s menu is authentic French charcuterie served alongside seasonal bistro cooking.

House made terrines, pâtés, hams and saucissons are produced under the guidance of Gilles Verot, one of France’s finest charcutiers. The menu includes traditional dishes such as coq au vin and moules, while the cellar is dedicated to Daniel Boulud’s native city of Lyon and its surrounding wine making regions, Burgundy and the Rhône Valley.

This smart Knightsbridge restaurant has a menu of French Christmas classics. For £55 you can indulge in a three-course set menu.

Private dining rooms are available for up to 16 guests. There is still a few tables left for dinner !
