The Garden

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Courtyard Table in the Heart of London

Set within the floral courtyard of Corinthia London on Whitehall Place, The Garden is one of those rare spots in the city where time genuinely slows down. The setting is an open-air room of sorts — a place to settle in rather than pass through, whether you arrive for a leisurely midday lunch or an unhurried evening that stretches well past dusk.

The concept is rooted in seasonality. Fresh, locally sourced produce shapes a light, Italian-inflected menu that moves with the rhythms of the year rather than against them. That commitment to seasonal cooking is reflected in the restaurant's Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence (2025), recognition that speaks to the seriousness with which both the kitchen and the cellar are curated.

Alfresco Dining Done with Intention

The Garden's Italian and seasonal sensibility isn't about elaborate ceremony — it's about the pleasure of eating well outdoors, without rush. The menu is designed for exactly that: dishes light enough for warm afternoons, satisfying enough for long evenings. The courtyard setting, floral and sheltered within one of London's grandest hotels, provides an atmosphere that feels removed from the surrounding city without being precious about it.

Lunch runs through to dinner, with food served until well into the evening — giving the place a natural rhythm that suits both a two-hour table and a longer, more relaxed affair. Non-smoking hours during peak meal times help keep the experience as considered as the food itself.

Part of a Serious Dining Address

The Garden sits alongside a strong roster of restaurants at Corinthia London, including Mezzogiorno by Francesco Mazzei and Kerridge's Bar & Grill. That context matters: this is a hotel that takes its food seriously, and The Garden holds its own within it — offering something lighter and more open-air than its neighbours, but no less carefully put together. For seasonal Italian dining with a genuine sense of place, it earns its reputation.
