About Aspleys Restaurant:
Apsleys, which opened in 2008, is housed in the former Conservatory Restaurant at The Lanesborough hotel. Guests dine under the famous Lanesborough glass roof and are offered innovative cuisine and impeccable service in an intimate contemporary ambiance.

A hotel as grand as The Lanesborough deserves an equally inspiring chef, and Apsleys has the distinguished head chef Nick Bell. Serving up modern Italian dishes with a decadent finishing touch such as beef steak Fiorentina with bone marrow sauce -- carved at your table for two. Chef Bell uses the finest seasonal produce much of which is imported directly from Italy.

Since it first opened in 1991, The Lanesborough has been recognized for The Library Bar's rare cognac collection, and that same level of sophistication is present in the impressive wine collection at Apsleys. Guests are invited into the wine cellar to personally select, decant and discuss their wine selection with Andrew Conner. Renowned sommelier Connor, who has worked at Cecconi's and Le Pont de la Tour, oversees a unique wine preservation system that allows Apsleys to offer some of the world's greatest wines by the glass. Every other week there is a new selection from an Italian region reflecting the current menu.
