Alyn Williams at The Westbury
Alyn Williams proved his skill cooking at Michelin star level before, initially at Petrus and latterly as head chef at two-starred Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley. Alyn Williams at The Westbury is his first solo outing and it is fair to say it has been an eagerly-anticipated arrival. All efforts have been made to create a dining room of warmth, elegance and distinction and it seems as if these objectives have been achieved. The setting is understated, but with a latent sense of luxury, which is perfect for Williams' refined, carefully sourced and expertly-constructed dishes.

The Gallery Restaurant 
Five-star hospitality runs through Brian Torino’s blood. Here he reveals the secrets behind his success at helming recently opened The Gallery Restaurant at The Westbury.

by Victoria Gill

The first in a line of glitzy openings under The Westbury’s ambitious expansion plans, which envelop a members’ club, fashion tearoom, fine dining restaurant and spa all due to be unveiled this season, The Gallery Restaurant is a must-visit destination on fashionable Conduit Street.

Jawdropping chandeliers, features emulating the Palace of Versailles, and fabulous cooking are among the superlative ingredients behind the winning formula at The Gallery Restaurant at The Westbury. European fine dining that’s also highly accessible, within an environment encapsulating the glamour of Bond Street, Luxos meets the acclaimed chef behind the project.

“The concept for The Gallery was to bring a brasserie feel to Bond Street with a high quality, lightweight, yet high value experience. The space is dramatic and undeniably glamorous. Each dish hails from the Italian and French Rivieras, which used to be known as the ancient Kingdom of Savoy. That is what my menu centres around.”
“The cuisine from the region is light: lots of olive oil, vegetables and fish, resulting in a very healthy style of cuisine as well as being thoroughly delicious. Signature dishes include langoustine ravioli and octopus carpaccio. What sets my menu apart is that it is automatically “leggera,” meaning light in Italian. Ask your member of staff for advice on individual dishes!”
