Island Grill

For everything from a hearty breakfast to a three-course meal or laid-back afterwork drinks, the award-winning Island Grill is a wonderful destination for any occasion. Housed within the stunning Lancaster London hotel next to Lancaster Gate station, the convenient location is accompanied by outstanding views of Hyde Park as you dine.

The distinctive, contemporary decor here perfectly complements the relaxed and inviting ambience that draws in loyal regulars and new customers alike. On the menu, you'll discover a sizeable selection of modern European dishes, focusing on the imaginative use of sustainably sourced ingredients that are as seasonal and as local as possible; in fact, their very own honey comes from the rooftop beehives - the signature honey panna cotta with homemade chocolate honeycomb that we sampled during our visit was just delicious.

To start, we selected the beautifully crafted ricotta and herb ravioli with a wild mushroom sauce and pan-seared scallops on a chorizo and quinoa salad with salsa verde - both are highly recommended. Succulent roasted Gressingham duck breast followed for me with roasted beetroot and a gorgeous red wine jus, while my companion's 10oz dry-aged British sirloin steak was wonderfully juicy and skilfully cooked. Attentive and knowledgeable staff were on hand to suggest wine pairings, and we made sure we tested out a signature cocktail to round off a thoroughly enjoyable evening in style
