"The Colony Grill Room is a brasserie inside The Beaumont Hotel with enough gold detailing and black and white portraits of 1930s screen sirens to remind you you’re in Mayfair. But the food is actually both very tasty and home-cooked comforting. Grab one of the leather booths for a breakfast of buttermilk pancakes or come in the evening and make your way through their vast whisky collection, Don Draper-style." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak
"This old-school, American-style grill room in the Beaumont Hotel is the kind of place you want to merrily grow old in, until one day you keel over into your perfect pile of mixed berry buttermilk pancakes. There are plenty of big red leather booths, crisp pink tablecloths, and black and white portraits of Hollywood screen sirens to make you feel appropriately Mayfair fancy. But there are also breakfasts that’ll shut your stomach up until dinner time. All the usual suspects are here, but there are also some wild cards that are worth a try, like the duck egg hash or the savoury cucumber yoghurt pot." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Rianne Shlebak, Sinead Cranna
"Whether it’s an anniversary, or a birthday, or you just want to give your nan an excuse to crack out her Sunday best, Colony Grill Room at The Beaumont in Mayfair is a great choice. There are dressed up American classics like macaroni cheese and ‘design your own’ sundaes. There are portraits of Hollywood stars on the walls. And there are red leather booths that are both swish and comfy." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"Shrimp cocktail, oysters by the dozen, cobb salad, rib eye with a choice of sauce … the Colony Grill Room in Mayfair’s the Beaumont unabashedly channels an old-school, upmarket American steakhouse. And it’s wonderful for it. The wood-panelled dining room, deep red booths, table lamps and white tablecloths just add to the allure. Oh, and the tick-box menu to build a bespoke ice cream sundae is the cherry (or butterscotch sauce) on top." - Daisy Meager
"Sometimes you just need to kick back and pretend you’re an aging socialite who simply can’t work out what to wear to your sixth wedding. As countless Londoners have before us, we like to take our fictional champagne problems to The Colony Grill Room, a brasserie inside The Beaumont Hotel that specialises in old school glamour. We hate to play favourites but their massive red leather booths are absolutely the place to eat buttermilk pancakes in the morning. If you’re swinging by in the evening, sweetie dahling, then we recommend going for the classics like the whole lobster with fries and exploring their vast whisky collection." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
