Pollini at Ladbroke Hall

Already with the Wallpaper* Design Awards Best New Restaurant 2024 and a Gambero Rosso rating under its belt, Pollini at the new Arts & Social Club at Ladbroke Hall solidifies its status as a hub for creative expression and culinary excellence.

Open to all, Ladbroke Hall's 43,000 square foot space offers an array of cultural experiences, including contemporary art, collectible design, music, dance, and more. 'Our stage for the arts', they say. Pollini, by Emanuele Pollini, is the restaurant in the main central section of Ladbroke Hall and boasts a coveted three-fork rating, the highest distinction in Italian dining. Emanuele's dishes are incredible, and as he is also a top level artisanal ice cream maker, we recommend you leave space for dessert!

Of historical beauty, the Hall itself was built in 1903, and once the front building of an enormous car showroom and assembly plant – the Clément-Talbot factory, explaining why some staff appear in natty boiler suits in the restaurant. The Beaux Arts building includes a grand portico and heraldic crest sitting atop a magnificent arched window, evoking an expansive Edwardian country house. The reimagined space has been restored and includes permanent artist contributions from figures including Nacho Carbonel, Vincenzo De Cotiis, Ingrid Donat, Luciano Giubbilei, Michele Lamy and Rick Owens, Sir Christopher Le Brun PPRA, Nicolas Schuybroek, Robert Stadler, among others. The art program at Ladbroke Hall is curated by Carpenters Workshop Gallery, renowned globally for its collectible design and functional art.
