Raffles London: a late lunch at Saison

For a late lunch, I’d choose Saison at Raffles London: 2 courses for £40, plus 15% discretionary service. It is a French brasserie in the Old War Office’s former library, with mustard-coloured banquettes beside the tables.

  • Artichoke Barigoule comes with glazed vegetables.
  • The Saison Burger has aged beef, Ashcombe cheese and gherkin.
  • The Hereford Tomahawk from Earl Stonham Farm serves 2; allow 40 minutes for it.
