About Peridot
This is 1880’s less formal, but no less luxurious, sister restaurant. Named after a beautiful gemstone, Peridot’s elegant Venetian décor is delicately dominated by green and pastel yellow. Fixture and fittings are - as throughout the hotel - tailor-made and, well, gorgeous. There’s even a mosaic floor to glide over en route to your sumptuous silk-lined chair. The
cumulative effect is a tea-room style haven so fresh and stylish that it could almost be a period film set (cue groups of stylish ladies chatting decorously over handmade Italian china). Breakfast and lunch only are
served, but both come straight from Andrew Turner’s kitchen. Hooray! Menus change weekly, but to whet your appetite how does foie gras, mango and crushed potatoes with sauce perigourdine sound? And salmon fillet,
artichokes, lobster potatoes and lardoons and essence lie de vin? They taste even better. Peridot is an immaculate experience from start to finish.
