Description: Opened in September 2009, Apsleys, a Heinz Beck Restaurant is the first restaurant outside Italy created by internationally renowned chef, Heinz Beck, holder of three Michelin stars at La Pergola in Rome. Heinz Beck soon earned the restaurant its own Michelin Star, when in February 2010 it became the fastest London establishment to be bestowed with the award and maintained this award onwards. Apsleys? stunning Venetian-style dining room, with its glass roof and plush upholstery, is one of the most beautiful spaces for dining in London, an elegant setting for any occasion. Overseen by Beck and run by Executive Chef Heros De Agostinis, who used to work with Heinz Beck in Rome. Beck has created a menu that focuses on lighter Mediterranean-inspired dishes and is concerned with keeping dishes healthy and as approachable as they are exciting. Signature dishes include the magnificent Carbonara Fagotelli of melt-in-the-mouth pasta parcels. At lunchtime, Apsleys' 'Menu del Giorno' is a popular choice, while Beck's seven course tasting menu is ideal for celebratory dinners. The wine list has enormous depth and includes some of the rarest vintages in the world. Apsleys, a Heinz Beck Restaurant is located on the ground floor of The Lanesborough in the heart of Knightsbridge, the restaurant has two semi-private dining rooms available for larger parties.

We booked the set menu with glass of sparkling wine, which on the face of it looked like a good deal. However 2 choices for starter and main and one option for dessert was a little limited to say the least. We all felt the portion size of the mains resembled a starter and flavours were nothing special. It's not... More

I cannot recommed Apsleys highly enough. It really was superb ... beautiful room, wonderful service and food that ignited the taste buds brilliantly. The Fagottelli Carbonara is a must. The olive oil served with the delicious breads was the finest I have ever tasted.

What a wonderful place. We had the three courses plus a glass for £40. Great value. Bread flowed with excellent olive oil. We were given an amuse bouche; a pre dessert dessert and petit fours in addition to the original three courses. The service was top rate- attentive without being pushy. The food was beautifully cooked and presented in such... More

3 course set menu for dinner and a glass of Franciacorta for £45. Upon arrival in this venetian designed restaurant the waiters seated us on a plush sofa in a quiet part of the restaurant and brought out some exquisite sparkling wine. Next was an unexpected chef's surprise before the starter and main. All of which were presented elegantly and... More

We went there for afternoon tea due to its fame and numerous awards. We arrived and tried to enjoy the afternoon tea. The cakes quality were average and the scones are not hot enough. Not the kind of high quality that one would expected.

Starting with the location, Hyde Park Corner is convenient to get to by tube if you do not prefer to take your car- valet parking is available of course. I loved the hotel, very stylish and chic.
