The Most Expensive Restaurants in London (2026)
From £420-a-head sushi to gold-dusted tasting menus, these are the priciest fine-dining tables in the capital.
London is one of the world's great dining capitals, and at the very top end that ambition comes with an eye-watering price tag. From counters where a single sushi omakase costs more than most people's weekly food budget to grand hotel dining rooms with decades of Michelin history, these restaurants represent the absolute pinnacle of luxury eating in the city. Prices below are indicative per-person costs for the flagship tasting experience, excluding drinks and service, and change frequently — always confirm when booking.

Sushi Kanesaka — around £420 per person
Tucked inside the 45 Park Lane hotel in Mayfair, this outpost of the legendary Tokyo sushi master is London's priciest tasting experience. Dinner runs to roughly £420 a head, paid in advance and excluding drinks and a service charge, for an intimate edomae omakase served at a hinoki-wood counter. Seats are few and booked weeks ahead.
Ikoyi — around £380 per person
Now overlooking the Thames at 180 Strand, two-Michelin-starred Ikoyi serves one of the most distinctive tasting menus in the world, drawing on West African and sub-Saharan flavours through a modern lens. The set menu lands at around £380 before drinks, and it is consistently ranked among the very best restaurants globally.
Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester — around £350 per person
The three-Michelin-starred flagship of the legendary French chef inside The Dorchester on Park Lane offers an eight-course dinner tasting for around £350. Expect impeccable classical technique, a grand Mayfair dining room and one of the most extensive wine lists in London.
