I recently dined at The Duchess and had a wonderful experience overall. The restaurant has a very classy and elegant atmosphere — perfect for a special evening out. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made the night even more enjoyable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. A few dishes could have used a touch more salt, but the overall quality and flavors were impressive. My personal highlights were the caviar pasta, scallops, steak tartare, and the lobster and king crab salad — each one perfectly balanced and memorable. The ADE-inspired dessert was also outstanding and a creative way to end the meal. While I didn’t love most of the cocktails I tried, the Sour was exceptional and definitely worth ordering. Their Chablis was also excellent and paired nicely with the seafood dishes. All in all, The Duchess offers a refined dining experience with great food, lovely ambiance, and top-notch service. I’d happily return, especially for that caviar pasta and dessert. We recently hosted an exclusive corporate event at The Duchess, and the entire experience was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we began planning, the team was exceptional, but the evening itself truly exceeded all our expectations. The venue is absolutely spectacular, providing a luxurious and elegant backdrop that impressed all of our guests. The ambiance is simply magical. The food was out of this world—each dish was a work of art and tasted even better than it looked. What truly set our experience apart was the impeccable service. I must give a special shout-out to Ilaria and the entire team who managed our event. Their professionalism, warmth, and incredible attention to detail were second to none. They ensured everything ran flawlessly and made every guest feel welcomed and cared for. Thank you to the entire team at The Duchess for helping us create a truly unforgettable evening. We could not have asked for a better experience. Highly, highly recommended for any special occasion or an incredible dining experience Great experience! Friendly staff, very attentive, very informative. Every dish we had was delicious. The Host Gwen was amazing and very helpful. Her recommendations were all on point! Our server Sarah was also very sweet and really making sure we were always kept with drinks and great service. Great lighting as well. Beautiful atmosphere.

I went to The Duchess for afternoon tea and held my bridesmaid proposal there. The staff was very attentive and the ambience lovely, but the food was disappointing. Maybe it’s because I’ve had afternoon tea in the UK and compare it to that, but the overall quality and taste felt mediocre. The scone even resembled more of a ginger cake than an actual scone. Nice to experience once for the setting, but I wouldn’t return for the food.

I went there for high tea with my 5 best friends to celebrate my late birthday but unfortunately, it was very disappointing. Food was bad and the sweets were even worse. Totally not worth paying 80 euros pp. If only a few of us did not like some of the food, I can understand, but non of us liked the food then it's really bad. We also saw a lot of leftovers at other tables. The only thing we all liked was the tea. The tea was really nice, therefore 1 star for the tea.
