Galvin at The Athenaeum is the latest restaurant from Michelin-starred London chefs Chris and Jeff Galvin (Bistrot de Luxe, La Chapelle & Galvin HOP). For the first time the brothers have stepped away from their trademark French-inspired menus in favour of championing Britain’s delicious homegrown produce and supporting independent farmers across the UK.
The all-day dining offering for the hotel, features classic British dishes plus well known Galvin favourites such as the Galvin smoked salmon and steak tartare with toasted sourdough. The area formerly known as the Garden Room has become THE BAR at The Athenaeum which menu includes an extensive range of innovative twists on classic cocktails, some pioneering craft spirits, and a continuation of the Athenaeum’s famed whisky collection.
Galvin Restaurants are a family run collection of seven French restaurants founded in 2005, and they were the first English brothers to both win a Michelin star.
