Jean-Georges at The Connaught | Jean-Georges Restaurants
The eclectic, imaginative menus are inspired both by Jean-Georges’ experiences of the Far East and his signature use of South-east Asian flavours, whilst also featuring his distinctive take on British and Connaught classics, from fish and chips to traditional afternoon tea, influenced by his earlier working life and love of London.
Sourcing the best of British ingredients, the menus will also reflect the simple farm-to-table, fresh-from-the-market approach long pioneered by Jean-Georges, and found at his restaurant at The Mark and ABC Kitchen in New York.
Illustrating the way The Connaught balances its distinguished heritage with a passion for the new, the restaurant has been redesigned by contemporary interior architect John Heah.

(In contrast, for my 21st in 1985, Dad took me out for gnocchi at Di’s favourite, San Lorenzo).
Still, the Connaught remained a place on which I looked very fondly anytime I passed through its doors for a Do – as opposed to a Di – or a cocktail.
And now here we both were, three and a half decades on, at the Connaught’s new take on “informal gourmet dining” (there are actual take-away pizzas) – though my ever-dapper dad was wearing a tie.

New Openings: Jean-Georges at The Connaught
The Connaught loosens its collar for the opening of Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s new all-day restaurant What’s new?
Superchef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is back in town.
The latest addition to his global empire, Jean-Georges at the Connaught, is now open in Mayfair.
Behind the scenes: When Alsatian chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten first came to London in 1995 to open Vong – it was the 'Chiltz’, the Isabel, the Sexy Fish of its day – he was the hot shot chef from New York brought in to teach us Asian fusion 101.
Now a spry 60, he’s a seasoned veteran with nearly 40 restaurants dotted across the planet and three Michelin stars at Jean-Georges in New York since 2006.

Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur Jean-Georges Vongerichten opened his new restaurant in London’s Connaught hotel at the end of July.
The French chef operates more than 30 restaurants worldwide, eight of which are in his hometown of New York, including the three Michelin-starred Jean-Georges in the Trump International Hotel and Tower at Columbus Circle.
The restaurant is located at the front of the Mayfair property in the space formerly occupied by Espelette – turn left when you enter the hotel.
Light floods in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which feature stained-glass panels in shades of red, orange and yellow to represent the passing of the day – from sunrise in the east to sunset in the west.
The striking flying saucer-type pendant lights in the curving conservatory section, meanwhile, glow blue at night and represent clouds.

They look around for the fourth person, the first husband of the woman with dark hair (WwDH), who is due to join them.
After a few minutes Reg Gadney (RG, the second husband) returns with Tom Maschler (TM, the first husband) in tow.
He and the dark-haired woman kiss — mwah-mwah — as she knows him from the time he cooked at Vong in The Berkeley hotel over 20 years ago and introduced his Asian fusion style to London.
Fair-haired Beth Coventry (BC), the dark-haired woman’s sister starts with fresh crab crostini with lemon aioli.
WwDH (who has done her research): “This is the first time in its 100-year history as The Connaught that the hotel has provided takeaway pizza.”

The newly opened restaurant on the conservatory side of the Connaught hotel with its stained-glass windows like sweet-wrappers and its irritatingly low, badly engineered tables, belongs to Alsatian-American chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
I have spent atrocious amounts of my own money at his flagship high-end restaurant in New York, simply called Jean-Georges, chasing the moment.
And now here he is with this new place in the Connaught called, bravely, Jean-Georges, as if it were a direct sibling of the Trump Tower site.
But don’t pout too much about that my love, because look: here are warm beignets of Comté cheese and black truffle to make things better.
We order the fontina cheese and black truffle pizza as a kind of mid-course.
