Does anybody have any suggestions for a nice restaurant in London for dinner, tasting menu for upto £200 per person exc drinks.

My parents want to celebrate their 50th anniversary in about 6 weeks and have asked me to organise something for them, my mum wants something memorable, my dad wants to make sure he's not hungry on the way home!
Nothing too out there or indian/chinese based at the moment, just not want they wanted this time round.

I've had a look around online but any first hand suggestions are always appreciated smile

Worlds your oyster with that budget!

Anything in particular they like food/style/setting wise?

Are you looking at something old world luxury? Ritz, Claridges, Conaught etc are all fabulous and maybe more suited to a 50th anniversary.

Or something more modern ?

The proper Gordon Ramsey restaurants are great, especially Hospital Rd.

Mauro Colagreco at Raffles is amazing, Frog, Trivet on the same level.

The Lecture Room at Sketch- would be my ultimate, but its very hard to get a table.

Luca on St John St is a go to special occasion place for me. Some of the best Italian food in London, a stylish but elaxed ambience and great service.
