There’s something deeply civilised about taking the time to enjoy a restaurant that comes with a bedroom. After all, it removes the only truly tedious aspect of a great evening of gastronomic decadence: the prospect of leaving. Here’s ten of the best you can find in the UK.

Brasserie Beau in Bath City Centre cossets its diners in an array of intimate boutique dining rooms and there’s a steady cloud of garlic, cheese and butter in the air. There are certainly worse first impressions to make on a hungry restaurant critic.

Celebrate Lunar New Year with the opulent menu of House of Ming, set within St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel. From exquisite dim sum and three treasure seafood in OX sauce, to aromatic duck and cocktails inspired by the year of the Fire Horse, this captivating dining experience blends Sichuan and Cantonese flavours with festive elegance, for gathering with loved ones in style.

Craving a proper ale and hearty meal, we head through Oxfordshire towards The Chilterns for a stay at The Crown Inn, Benson and dinner at The Chequers Inn, Berrick Salome. Expect crackling fires, local pours from Hook Norton Brewery and refined British plates in beautifully restored, Grade II-listed village surrounds.

As rural pubs close at alarming rates, The Chequers Inn, Berrick Salome stands as a defiant celebration of community and craft. Led by chef Danny Thomas, the restored village inn pairs seasonal British cooking with local purpose, proving the country pub remains a vital, evolving hub worth championing and sustaining.

Every spring, a particular stretch of northeast Scotland prepares for its busiest week of the year. The Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival returns from 29 April to the early May bank holiday in 2026, reaffirming why this corner of the Highlands is a must-visit for whisky enthusiasts worldwide.

I expected the food in Abu Dhabi to be good. After all, I was due to visit a handful of restaurants in one of the world’s most celebrated hubs of luxury living, where the warm waters of the Arabian Sea meet centuries of tradition and trade. I didn’t expect the three restaurants I visited to be quite this game-changing.

I thought I knew all there was to know about my personal preferences when it comes to spirits. As is so often the case, I’m delighted to be proven wrong, and even more gleeful about the idea there’s so much more out there to fall in love with. Enter The Curatist.

Nora is a Canary Wharf restaurant offering gastronomic flights of fancy from the ‘Turkish avant-garde’. Committed to bringing ultra-modern Istanbul dining to the glittering spires of this corner of London, Benjamin Norris was blown away by its generosity.

Dinings SW3 presents an assured and quiet confidence, where pristine service, relaxed elegance and – most importantly – utterly sensational food come together in spectacular fashion. Benjamin Norris falls more than a little in love with ‘gill to tail’ Japanese dining in Chelsea.

My appreciation for Veganuary is long-rooted in the experimentation we see in ingredients and menus at this time. Caxton Grill’s Veganaury menu is an impressive celebration of plant-based dining, regardless of its introduction by a restaurant famed for its butcher's block.

British seafood isn’t just good – it’s right up there with the very best in the world. There’s something about the icy waters of the North Sea that allows our most prized specimens to grow slowly and beautifully, allowing for sublime flavours and generous portion sizes.
