Holborn Dining Room, London, restaurant review - Telegraph
food location staff drinks ambience
Midtown is the new, Manhattanish styling for the soulless, ugly, office-dominated area that is not far from the Strand, on the edge of the legal district, a brief stroll from Oxford Street, and not quite Covent Garden.
Attached to the magnificently marbled former home of Pearl Assurance is not only the Scarfe Bar, in which midtown’s jeunesse dorée may forget all their troubles (and forget all their cares) by gazing at savage cartoons by Gerald Scarfe over cocktails, but also Holborn Dining Room, the latest in an endless sequence of grand, all-day brasseries to have opened within a mile radius of this building in the past few years.
While it has much in common with such feted trailblazers as the Wolseley, it is less Mitteleuropean and more New Yorky than its rivals, while the first sight to catch the eye branded itself on my mind as unique.
Midtown may await its first musical icon and defining song, but in Holborn Dining Room at least it has a restaurant with a more vibrant and engaging personality than the area perhaps deserves.

review of London British restaurant Holborn Dining Rooms by Andy ...
food value drinks desserts
The head chef of the Holborn Dining Room is Calum Franklin, who was previously senior sous chef at Roast in Borough Market, and had earlier worked at restaurants including The Ivy and Indigo at One Aldwych.
The wine list ranged in price from £26 to £360, and included labels such as Casa Lapostalle Carmenere Grand Selection 2013 at £34 for a bottle that you can find in the high street for £11, Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2015 at £48 compared to its retail price of £17, and Vina Tondonia Reserva 2004 at £80 for a bottle whose current market value is £28.
The lengthy menu is unashamedly British, with a selection of grilled dishes, bar snacks and sandwiches as well as a wide selection of starters and main courses.
The bill came to £79 a head, with a bottle of the excellent Vina Tondonia 2004 Reserva.
The starters were quite good, main courses poor and yet the desserts were seriously good.

If you've never heard of Holborn Dining Room's Calum Franklin, it's about time you were introduced.
The restaurant's executive chef and self-professed pastry deviant has made a name for himself on Instagram churning out the kind of pies and en croûtes you'd be happy to take home to the parents – and now you can watch his team work while you eat at the Pie Room.
Alternatively, you could just enjoy the vast, stately dining room while scoffing pastry instead.
Make sure you arrive early enough to take a seat at the Dining Room's gin bar, where you can get your lips around more than 500 gins and 30 tonics (that's roughly 15,000 combinations, if you're wondering).
The menu here is eclectic, but the most memorable dishes are the classic British ones.

Yet to my mind, a key symptom of spending several years clinging to a rainy North Sea rock is a heady affection for pastry — a suspicion that all edible things taste vastly better clad in a shortcrust duffle coat.
These are things I’ve thought about over recent years as the Holborn Dining Room at the Rosewood Hotel in mid-town has gained new momentum.
The Rosewood’s brasserie, Holborn Dining Room, is my personal idea of a heaven; not that I’ll ever be beckoned upwards — but if hell is full, I’d happily spend eternity eating chef Calum Franklin’s pies.
It’s good to know that there’s a man in Holborn who still has the presence of mind to carve an MC Escher print into a pork pie.
The Holborn Dining Room is now worth a standing ovation.

food menu
Located on High Holborn, linked to the Rosewood Hotel, The Holborn Dining Room might lead you to believe you’d stepped into an exclusive gentlemen’s club.
With plush red leather banquettes nestled in a retro style dining room, you can’t mistake the air of opulence about this venue.
It’s not all about the good looking interior design though, there’s an extensive brasserie style menu, offering up breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The wide-ranging breakfast menu delivers up eggs in a manner of ways, spelt pancakes and pastries and later in the day diners can choose from English classics such as Suffolk pork belly or pick something lighter from the seafood counter.
There’s also an outdoor terrace for a more al-fresco experience and a deli on site if you’re after something on the go.
