London's fine dining scene has broken new ground with the launch of the capital's first-ever Michelin-starred breakfast tasting menu. The pioneering offering comes from Pavyllon London, the restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel London on Park Lane in Mayfair.
A New Dawn for Luxury Dining
While tasting menus are a dinner-time staple at high-end restaurants, the first meal of the day has remained untouched by this elaborate format—until now. From January 10, 2026, Pavyllon will serve its five-course breakfast banquet every weekend. Service runs from 6:30am (7am on Sundays) until 10:30am, firmly positioning it as a premium breakfast rather than a late brunch.
The experience is priced at £70 per person, which includes a tea or coffee. For those wishing to elevate the morning further, a non-alcoholic drinks pairing featuring teas, juices, and mocktails is available for an additional £20.
Inside the Five-Course Breakfast Banquet
The menu is a luxurious reinterpretation of morning classics, crafted under the guidance of the restaurant's executive pastry chef, Francesco Mannino. It begins with a bespoke 'amuse-juice' and a seasonal 'bakery creation'.
Guests then choose between a luxurious chia pudding with mango or granola with berries. The following course presents a choice of eggs royale, with an optional caviar supplement, or a weekly chef's special which could feature dishes like Turkish eggs or tiramisu pancakes.
The final sweet course is a round of French toast with caramelised hazelnuts and whipped cream. To conclude, diners receive a parting gift of 'Les Chocolats de Yannick Alléno', a gastronomic chocolate made with birch bark extract. The restaurant confirms that vegetarian and vegan dietary requirements will be accommodated.
What This Means for London's Dining Scene
This launch signifies a bold expansion of the fine dining daypart, challenging the notion that Michelin-starred experimentation is reserved for the evening. It brings the meticulous craftsmanship and luxury ingredients associated with tasting menus to the breakfast table, creating a entirely new occasion for gastronomes and luxury seekers in the capital.
By venturing into the breakfast arena, Pavyllon sets a new precedent, potentially inspiring other high-end establishments to explore the untapped potential of morning gastronomy. The offering solidifies London's reputation as a global dining destination where innovation knows no bounds, not even the time of day.
