Why it is on the list
The Lecture Room & Library holds three Michelin stars in the current guide.1 It won its first star in 2005, its second in 2012 and its third in 2019.2 Pierre Gagnaire is head chef, and the cooking is a loose adaptation of his three-star restaurant in Paris; the owner is Mourad Mazouz.2 The room is one of five in a Grade II* listed townhouse on Conduit Street, designed by James Wyatt in 1779.2
It is the wrong choice for a Sunday or Monday: dinner runs Tuesday to Saturday and lunch only on Friday and Saturday.3 For a chef's table rather than a dining room, The Chef's Table at Hélène Darroze, also three stars and also in Westminster, is the alternative.1
