"When it opened in 2011, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal quickly became one of the most talked-about menus in the capital. The dishes, inspired by historic British cuisine, included items such as the now-legendary Meat Fruit, a chicken liver and foie gras parfait moulded to look like fruit inside a mandarin jelly. These avant-garde recipes earned Blumenthal and the team at Dinner their first Michelin star in 2012, and a second followed in 2014."
"To celebrate, the team will introduce A Journey Through History, an eight-course tasting menu that takes diners on an exploration of historic British gastronomy. Expect all the famous Blumenthal dishes to be present and correct - so yes, that means Meat Fruit and the much-loved pudding Tipsy Cake: brioche soaked in brandy and served with spit-roasted pineapple."
"Heston's Dodger With Jam reimagines the popular post-war-era jammy dodger with raspberry jam and buttercream between shortbread discs. Powdered Duck, meanwhile, celebrates the work of one of Britain's first-published female cookery writers, Hannah Woolley, serving brined suck breast with turnips and truffle."
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, the acclaimed two-Michelin-starred restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, will close in January 2027 after 16 years of operation. The restaurant revolutionized London's dining scene upon opening in 2011 with innovative dishes inspired by historic British gastronomy, including the iconic Meat Fruit. To mark its closure, the team has created A Journey Through History, an eight-course tasting menu featuring signature dishes alongside archival creations. The menu includes classics like Meat Fruit and Tipsy Cake, alongside reimagined historic recipes such as Heston's Dodger With Jam and Powdered Duck. The menu is presented on an illustrated scroll and available for £195 per person through January 2027.
