Plan The Ritz Restaurant London: jacket-and-tie rules, tasting menus, lunch options and official booking guidance, plus weekend entertainment charges.
The Ritz Restaurant London requires gentlemen to wear a jacket and tie at lunch and dinner, offers à la carte dining and seasonal tasting menus, and takes reservations through SevenRooms via its official restaurant page. Jeans and sportswear are not permitted at lunch or dinner. This guide explains the dress rules, menu formats and booking details using official information checked on 10 October 2026.
The Ritz Restaurant sits within The Ritz London at 150 Piccadilly, Mayfair, London W1J 9BR. It holds two Michelin stars, and its Executive Chef is John Williams MBE.
Its classic British and French culinary positioning is expressed on the official page primarily through contemporary British cooking: seasonal British ingredients prepared with refined technique. The restaurant identifies Cornish beef, Lake District lamb and lobster from South West Scotland among its sourcing examples; these are not guarantees of particular dishes on your visit.
The official description highlights chandeliers and mirrors. Its claim to be “one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the world” is the hotel’s own description, not an independent assessment by Peters Signature.
The published rules distinguish lunch and dinner from breakfast:
The supplied policy does not specify a detailed women’s dress standard beyond those exclusions, nor does it settle every footwear question.
Practical recommendation: plan your outfit before travelling, rather than assuming a general smart-casual standard will cover lunch or dinner. If you are unsure about a particular garment or shoes, use the contact details on the official restaurant page to ask the restaurant directly. Do not assume exceptions or loan clothing will be available.
The official page lists several distinct dining formats:
Arts de la Table is listed for lunch Monday to Sunday and dinner Sunday to Thursday. Breakfast is a separate offering, with examples including poached smoked haddock, Scottish smoked salmon and honey-toasted granola.
Practical recommendation: start with the number of courses and style of service you want, then consult the current sample menus. Choose Arts de la Table if tableside preparation is your priority and your party size fits its stated requirements. Sample dishes and sourcing examples should not be treated as a fixed menu.
No base menu prices are established here. Check current prices, wine-pairing costs and dietary suitability before confirming your reservation.
Book through the SevenRooms reservation link reached from the official Ritz Restaurant page. This is the verified booking route; no reservation release schedule is established by the supplied information.
Published service windows are:
The earlier tasting-menu cut-offs matter when choosing a reservation. Breakfast has separate last sittings: 10:30am for residents and 10:00am for non-residents, with service starting at 7:30am.
Practical recommendation: select the dining experience as carefully as the date and time. Before completing the booking, review any deposit, cancellation or other conditions displayed, and confirm dietary requirements directly. Those policies are not established by the supplied text.
“Live at The Ritz” runs on Friday and Saturday evenings, combining dinner with live music and dancing. The restaurant states that an additional £58 per person entertainment charge applies when choosing the à la carte or Epicurean menus on those evenings.
Entertainment and timings are subject to change. The official page also lists pianist entertainment on other evenings, so a non-weekend booking should not be assumed to be music-free.
