Sketch Lecture Room and Library, which debuted in Mayfair at the end of 2002, soon established itself as one of the most expensive restaurants in England, and it is still going strong after earning three Michelin stars.

Surrealism meets haute cuisine at The Lecture Room and Library, one of three restaurants owned by French chef Pierre Gagnaire and owner Mourad Mazouz in the 18th-century townhouse Sketch. Guests are met by colorful employees in an art-filled foyer and brought up a fantasy staircase to a glass-domed dome with white leather walls. However, no amount of aesthetic flourishes can hide the reality that the cuisine is technically flawless, embracing a wide spectrum of skills. With a dream supporting cast of wines, expect a dizzying procession of canapés, amuse-bouche, appetizers, mains, desserts, cheese, and petits fours.

Taster meals at Sketch Lecture Room and Library start at $190, but those who want to go all out could choose from the $570 'Special Treat' menu, which includes eight rounds of delectable food paired with eight outstanding wines.
