Before you head off to London, we recommend whetting your appetite by learning a bit about one of the best dishes you can find all over the city. That’s the British traditional beef Wellington. This dish, a combination of tender beef, mushrooms and puff pastry, is a true British classic to add to your list of tasty dishes to try when in London. It is said that it was created in honor of the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, to celebrate his victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Eat in or out when you stay with Vacation Perfect. These are some of our favourite restaurants for beef Wellington in London.
- The Grenadier – The Grenadier Pub is just around the corner from our Belgravia apartment. One of the unique qualities of this pub is the wealth of money bills taped to the ceiling due to a ghost tale.
- The Savoy Grill – This Michelin-starred restaurant serves a classic beef Wellington made with prime cuts of meat and rich mushroom duxelles.
- 45 Jermyn Street – This restaurant aims to bring “back the golden age of glamour.” Expect classic dishes, like their beef Wellington, and new innovative meals.
