The Peninsula London Debuts Fine-Dining Restaurants, Luxury Bars and The Peninsula Boutique & Café

12/09/2023

Since opening its first and flagship property in Hong Kong in 1928, The Peninsula Hotels have created a peerless legacy of luxury experiences.

This year marks The Peninsula’s debut into London with a team of master chefs, outstanding pâtissiers, leading sommeliers and mixologists at the helm. From the in-house drinks studio to the team of dedicated chocolatiers hand-crafting confectionery, The Peninsula London offers an uncompromising quality of service and culinary excellence.

The Lobby at The Peninsula London is at the heart of the hotel, launching with an all day fare menu and an exquisite Afternoon Tea to rival the very best in the capital, whilst The Peninsula Boutique and Café will be stocked with intricate patisserie and Viennoiserie, alongside freshly made produce and curated gift items.

The hotel’s Cantonese restaurant, Canton Blue, and adjoining cocktail bar, Little Blue, will take guests on a transportive dining journey through innovative flavour combinations and techniques.

Brooklands, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant led by Chef Director Claude Bosi, will open on 4th October with additional details to follow.

The Lobby

The Lobby is The Peninsula London’s all-day restaurant and Afternoon Tea lounge central to the hotel. The grand space sets the stage for a special dining experience, from the moment guests are greeted by The Peninsula Pages to The Peninsula Afternoon Tea, recognised across the world for its uncompromising quality of service and culinary excellence. 

The Lobby has remained a favourite gathering place for international guests and local residents alike within each hotel since its inception in The Peninsula Hong Kong in 1928. Exuding grandeur with soaring ceilings, chandeliers and bespoke artwork depicting scenes of London landmarks, the exquisite design welcomes all.

Crafted by a skilled team of chefs, pâtissiers and chocolatiers, Afternoon Tea at The Peninsula is an occasion not to be missed as it returns to the past time’s British birthplace. 

Canton Blue

Canton Blue brings to life tales of the through a transportive dining journey, reminiscent of the Keying Junk’s odyssey, shipping goods from China to Britain. Located on the ground floor of The Peninsula London, the restaurant celebrates fine Cantonese cuisine. 

Designed by Henry Leung of CAP Atelier, the four dining rooms draw inspiration from the Keying Junk, a three-masted, 800-ton Chinese trading ship which sailed between China and Britain from 1846 to 1848. 

The timeless menu from Executive Chef Dicky To is anchored in Cantonese tradition, with elements of recognisably British ingredients intertwined throughout. Guests are encouraged to share multiple dishes to emphasise the myriad textures, flavours and aromas, integral to Chinese haute cuisine.

The drinks list showcases a collection of Chinese rice spirit, Baijiu, alongside a selection of over 200 fine wines from around the world. Fresh leaf tea focuses on provenance and small tea production.

Little Blue

Marrying flavours from the East with techniques from the West, Little Blue brings a fresh new drinks concept to London. The bar offers an immersive experience, from the moment guests step through the cobalt-lacquered doors, to the towering, white porcelain bamboo tree and the bar itself, made from stacks of Chinese apothecary drawers. The cocktail menu at Little Blue is designed to take guests on a journey of discovery from Canton to London 

The Peninsula Boutique & Café

The Peninsula Boutique & Café seamlessly unifies a relaxed retail and gourmet grab-and-go concept with the finest made-to-order patisserie for the local Belgravia community and beyond. Within the beautiful space, an array of curated gifts await, along with a selection of delectable pastries, light bites and drinks for visitors and hotel guests alike.
 
The Peninsula Boutique & Café showcases the hotel's legendary standing for excellence with a team of highly experienced chefs, expert pâtissiers, and chocolatiers.
