sketch

sketch is a complex and unique site. Conceived by French Masterchef Pierre Gagnaire and restaurateur Mourad Mazouz, it has attracted unprecedented media reaction for its myriad food, drink and entertainment styles since it opened in December 2002.

The site consists of the Lecture Room & Library, the Parlour, the Glade, the East Bar, and the Gallery. The Lecture Room & Library was awarded its first Michelin star in 2005, a second star in 2012. The restaurant was recognised with Michelin's top three stars accolade in 2019.

A Grade II listed building, sketch was formerly the headquarters of both RIBA and Christian Dior.

The Glade Restaurant and bar is now offering a vegetable-based Garden Menu with still and sparkling English wines.
