One of the city’s most celebrated chefs, Ollie Dabbous, oversees this ambitious, three-level foodie destination in Mayfair, arranged in a sparse Scandinavian style, where he has plenty of space to throw money at ideas and allow diners to absorb the ministrations of his army of staff, including a dozen-plus sommeliers. The wine list from Hedonism, one of the city’s most comprehensive wine stores, is one of the largest in the world (more than 6,000 bottles). Choose the street-level, a la carte Hide Ground, serving all three meals, afternoon tea, and baked creations; or Hide Above, overlooking Green Park, for fine-dining tasting menus; Hide Below is the bar and wine cellar (try the martini made with birch sap instead of ice). Any choice will wow, with dishes weaving acid and richness to deliver amazements that always belie the deceptively plain menu descriptions. Don’t expect any dish to loiter on the menu for long, because Dabbous has built the perfect personal theme park for inventing gustatory thrills. He’s thought of everything, down to the phone chargers in the tables and the lighting, which (for real) intentionally eliminates shadows so you can properly Instagram your dinner. Make reservations as far ahead as you can.
