There are fewer restaurants in London, and it can successfully argued there are in fact none, with quite the same standing as The Ledbury. A three-star Michelin establishment that is loved by locals as much as its sybaritic international clientele, it’s honestly hard to find anything that The Ledbury might be doing wrong.
Founded in 2005, born on the ashes of an American-style restaurant called Dakota, last year (2025) was The Ledbury’s twentieth anniversary celebration. As I have eaten at The Ledbury numerous times over the years enjoying every single time to the utmost, I felt like I needed to be there once again in 2025 and celebrate appropriately my many years of patronage. I was there most recently in late autumn 2025, and as always, I was glad to have gone.
