Great British Restaurant at DUKES LONDON

Located in the heart of St James, a few street away form st james palace and a 5 minute walk down from Piccadilly Circus tube stop, the restaurant is down one flight of stairs down from the concierge, the venue offers a warm welcome with stylish faded glass-panel walls and ceilings, complemented by a well-equipped bar. The lunch menu is appealing, though the wine selection is limited. Unfortunately, no Dukes martinis are available on Sundays, as Dukes Bar is closed. The service stands out—staff are friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Seating options are comfortable, with cozy booths and row seating for up to four. The menu focuses on classic British cuisine, with a few notable highlights: • The smoked aubergine paired with crispy seeded biscuits was flavorful and well-prepared. • The monkfish in batter, however, was underwhelming—the fish portion was small, and the batter overly dominant. That said, the accompanying chips were perfectly cooked. • The scallops with black pudding were average, lacking any standout flavors. • The pork was unfortunately dry, though the accompanying sauce provided some relief. As for drinks, the wine by the glass was somewhat underwhelming, leaving room for improvement in the beverage selection.

Highly recommend their scallops! They were cooked to perfection. The rib eye was alright too. We were lucky rough to get a discount via fork. Very pleased about that. Very friendly staff

A great restaurant serving good food, attentive staff, limited menu with the usual fares like burgers and fish n chips...selections could be a bit more creative and exciting for a wonderful venue like the Duke Hotel, where many were taking instagram moments at the door.
