Hix Belgravia

Mark Hix's restaurant & bar in the Belgraves hotel
This Mark Hix restaurant is in the Thompson Belgraves Hotel in Belgravia, the first Thompson hotel outside of the US. It has a new Mark's Bar, a cigar garden and the menu veers away from Hix's traditional British style with a more worldly feel.

"...oddly, of all the Hix restaurants I’ve eaten in, this is the one where I’ve liked the food best. Sadly, it’s being served in a restaurant with no perceptible appeal – I can’t imagine wanting to go back." READ REVIEW

"No, not a very good dinner. We kept seeing things go by that looked much better than what we were eating. I haven’t had menu envy for years." READ REVIEW

"So what happens when you try to transport a vivacious bar and restaurant from the libertine marches of Soho to a swanky hotel in the most aristocratic area of the city? Some elements translate, but the overall effect is lost." READ REVIEW

"Did a skiing holiday put the idea of rosti as a base for Portland crab and a scattering of wild herbs into Mark's consciousness? Who knows - but it's a perfectly good wheeze." READ REVIEW

"You have to accept that individual dishes may lose some of their distinction in a multicultural restaurant environment. But I enjoy the quirkiness of Hix Belgravia and I can’t wait to go back." READ REVIEW

Good food pity about the room

As you would expect from a Mark Hix restaurant the menu and cooking are both good. Service is also very efficient but still friendly. Unfortunately even though the restaurant has a separate entrance in Pont Street, it really is a Coffee shop space inside a hotel lobby. It's a dull, cramped room, but Mr Hix has made no account for this in his pricing. Consequently I felt like I'd just been mugged when I got the bill!
