Dinner by Heston Blumenthal is a restaurant in London, England, created by Heston Blumenthal. Menu items are based on historical British dishes, which were researched by food historians and through the British Library. The restaurant's décor resembles antique British periods. Dinner's opening drew interest within the industry, and reviews have been positive. Particular dishes have received praise, including the Meat Fruit, a chicken liver mousse created to look like a mandarin orange.

Opened in January 2011, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal received one Michelin star within a year and earned its second in 2014, which it has held ever since. The British magazine Restaurant ranked the eatery on its list of the World's 50 Best Restaurants between 2011 and 2018. Dinner was initially headed by Ashley Palmer-Watts, formerly the head chef of another Blumenthal restaurant, The Fat Duck. Jon Miles-Bowring and Adam Tooby-Desmond became his successors. The restaurant has expanded internationally with franchises in Melbourne, Australia, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Description

Dinner's interior was designed by Adam Tihany and displayed full-length windows allowing diners to see straight into the kitchen. It features a pulley system based on a 16th-century design used for the British Royal Court. The brand identity items, such as the logo and the menus, were designed by design agency Seymourpowell.{{cite news|last=Ozler|first=Levent|title=Seymourpowell Cook Up Delectable Designs for Dinner by Heston Blumenthal|url=https://www.dexigner.com/news/22315|access-date=4 March 2012|newspaper=Dexigner|date=20 February 2011|archive-date=22 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110922050738/http://www.dexigner.com/news/22315|url-status=live}} A clockwork spitroast cooks pineapples for one of the restaurant's desserts.

Although named Dinner, the restaurant also serves lunch. The name is meant to signify the main meal of the day, regardless of when it is enjoyed. The eatery serves dishes inspired by the 14th century and beyond.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/03/dinner-heston-blumenthal-history-menu|title=Dinner by Heston Blumenthal: a taste of the past|first=Tristram|last=Hunt|author-link=Tristram Hunt|date=3 February 2011|work=The Guardian|access-date=3 September 2024}} Each item has been based on a historical recipe, such as the scallop dish which dates from 1826 and was published in The Cook and Housewife's Manual, written by Christian Isobel Johnstone.{{cite book |last1=Johnstone |first1=Christian Isobel |title=The Cook and Housewife's Manual, by Margaret Dods |date=1826 |url=https://archive.org/details/cookandhousewif00johngoog |access-date=21 March 2021 |authorlink=Christian Isobel Johnstone}}{{cite news|last=Rayner|first=Jay|title=Restaurant review: Dinner by Heston Blumenthal|url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/27/jay-rayner-dinner-heston-blumenthal|access-date=4 March 2012|newspaper=The Guardian|date=27 February 2011|archive-date=26 July 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240726190342/https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/27/jay-rayner-dinner-heston-blumenthal|url-status=live|url-access=registration}}

The first head chef was Ashley Palmer-Watts. He had worked with Blumenthal since 1999, and for five years was head chef at Blumenthal's other restaurant, the three-Michelin-starred Fat Duck. The two chefs researched historical menu choices with the help of food historian Polly Russell, curator at the British Library.{{cite news|last1=Russell|first1=Polly|title=The history cook: frumenty|url=https://www.ft.com/content/f983f7e2-57ca-11e3-86d1-00144feabdc0|access-date=24 May 2018|work=Financial Times|date=29 November 2013|archive-date=10 December 2022|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/f983f7e2-57ca-11e3-86d1-00144feabdc0|url-status=live}}

Reception

File:Meat Fruit at Dinner by Heston.jpg

In The Independent, the chef Mark Hix said Dinner produced the best meal he had he had eaten in "at least two years". He described the meat fruit starter as "astonishing", and said it could have been seen as gimmicky, but "when it tastes that good, it's difficult to complain".{{cite news|last=Hix|first=Mark|title=Heston's new restaurant served the best food I've had in two years|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/hestons-new-restaurant-served-the-best-food-ive-had-in-two-years-2202600.html|access-date=4 March 2012|newspaper=The Independent|date=3 February 2011|archive-date=6 February 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110206081148/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/hestons-new-restaurant-served-the-best-food-ive-had-in-two-years-2202600.html|url-status=live}} Tracey Macleod dined with Hix, and also praised the restaurant describing it as "no-fuss" and "direct". She also wrote that Hix remarked that the restaurant "could change the face of poncey dining".{{cite news|last=Macleod|first=Tracey|title=Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, 66 Knightsbridge, London SW1|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/reviews/dinner-by-heston-blumenthal-mandarin-oriental-hotel-66-knightsbridge-london-sw1-2209469.html|access-date=4 March 2012|newspaper=The Independent|date=12 February 2011|archive-date=3 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120503130113/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/reviews/dinner-by-heston-blumenthal-mandarin-oriental-hotel-66-knightsbridge-london-sw1-2209469.html|url-status=live}}

Zoe Williams for The Daily Telegraph gave the restaurant a rating of nine out of ten, saying that the meat fruit made her want to "stand up and cheer", but again said that although everything served was of the highest quality, the meal did not have a surprise like courses can sometimes have at the Fat Duck.{{cite news|last=Williams|first=Zoe|title=Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, London SW1, restaurant review|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/restaurants/8380993/Dinner-by-Heston-Blumenthal-London-SW1-restaurant-review.html|access-date=4 March 2012|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|date=20 March 2011|archive-date=5 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205163232/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/restaurants/8380993/Dinner-by-Heston-Blumenthal-London-SW1-restaurant-review.html|url-status=live}} For the same newspaper, Matthew Norman described it as a "theatrical tour de force". He described the restaurant's opening as flawless and described it as the "hottest ticket in town for a very long time to come" with a rating of ten out of ten.{{cite news|last=Norman|first=Matthew|title=Dinner, London, Restaurant review|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/restaurants/8301918/Dinner-London-Restaurant-review.html|access-date=4 March 2012|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|date=7 February 2011|archive-date=13 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120313030953/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/restaurants/8301918/Dinner-London-Restaurant-review.html|url-status=live}}

Chef Jason Atherton said that he could not recall a comparable buzz raised by a restaurant, and that he was relieved that the opening of his Pollen Street Social restaurant was not going to take place until late March 2011, a reasonable gap after the opening of Dinner. Richard Vines, whilst writing for Bloomberg, advised readers to not be put off the hype; he felt that while the courses are not as life-changing as those served at the Fat Duck, there are stand out dishes such as the meat fruit and the tipsy cake. He also noted that the meat fruit was a favourite of Pierre Koffmann. Jay Rayner for The Observer described the food as "seriously good", and concluded: "Dinner by Heston Blumenthal may be expensive, but it's also bloody lovely. Save up."
