– Approachable fine dining and the world’s best wines –

We opened Portland in January 2015 and have been here most days since! Our aim was to open a great neighbourhood restaurant but thanks to an incredibly-talented opening team, we got a bit smarter than we thought we would be and gained a Michelin star later that year which we are very proud to have retained ever since.

We try to offer the best contemporary example of fine dining in London – this doesn’t mean cloches and tablecloths (we don’t own a single one of either!)  but the finest produce we can find cooked with precision and a high level of technique. Our team is led by Executive Chef Stuart Andrew who has been with our company since the first day and his team in the kitchen is led by our Head Chef Chris Bassett.

Wine has always been central to what we do and more so now than ever – as well as our monthly-changing wine list we have a unique Single Bottle List featuring some of the world’s finest wines at, in some cases, lower than retail prices. Rob Bramham and Alexandra Suter, our heads of beverage, are always on the hunt for new brilliant wines and are just as excited by a superb-value house red as they are by a Grand Cru burgundy.

On the floor our team is led by Gabor who always wants to hear about anything he can do to make your visit that bit special – if it’s a birthday, anniversary or you just want to have a negroni waiting for you when you get here, please let us know.

We hope to see you here soon,

Will Lander and Daniel Morgenthau

We offer three different menus in the Private Room – A La Carte, Tasting Menu and our Portland Feasting Menu

Tasting Menu

Our upstairs Tasting Menu can also be enjoyed (for the whole table) in the Private Dining Room and is priced at £89.

Feasting Menu

For groups looking for a particularly festive menu, we would propose our Feasting Menu, based around our centrepiece Beef Wellington as a main course and Tarte Tatin for dessert. This is priced at £75 and dietary requirements can be adjusted for at each course. (Please note we require 72 hours notice for the Feasting Menu.)

Private Dining Feasting Menu

Our wine lists are both available and we have a special Magnums list on offer for the Private Room.

Wine

Wine is as important as food and service at Portland.

Our main wine list aims to offer brilliant value on interesting, different wines which we hope you seldom see on restaurant wine lists.

Our Single Bottle List contains some of some of the world’s finest wines and also more accessible offerings from our favourite producers. We aim to be very keenly priced and at the high-end match or even undercut what you might find online – we even have a few red burgundies and Californians which are no longer available anywhere else!

Reserving your bottle from the Single Bottle List in advance is strongly recommended

Our partnership with Chateau d’Yquem

When you receive your dessert menu you will notice something quite special. We are very proud to be one of a six restaurants worldwide working directly with Chateau d’Yquem to offer three vintages of their iconic sauternes by the glass.

Thanks to this partnership, we are able to source bottles directly from the Yquem cellars (where they have not left since bottling) and offer them at an incredibly competitive price. We currently offer the 1998, 2005 and 2009 vintages served via Coravin beginning at £49 per 75ml. We also offer a unique flight of 75ml of each 3 vintages priced at £150
