The Ritz London Menu Prices

"The Ritz London menu prices" is one of the fastest-rising searches about the hotel — and the menu price is never the whole bill. This guide builds realistic per-person totals from official Ritz prices (the August 2025 restaurant menu PDF and the official afternoon tea page), adding the charges the Ritz itself discloses: the 12.5% discretionary service charge and the £58 per person Friday/Saturday entertainment charge.

Tasting menus — realistic totals

The Epicurean Journey (official menu, August 2025). "Menu price + 12.5%" is the minimum realistic total — before any drinks beyond the pairing:

Option Menu price + 12.5% service
Epicurean Journey, 5 courses £199 ≈ £223.88
Epicurean Journey, 7 courses £221 ≈ £248.63
5 courses + Classic wine pairing (£117) £316 ≈ £355.50
7 courses + Fine wine pairing (£254) £475 ≈ £534.38
7 courses + Prestige pairing (£750) £971 ≈ £1,092.38

Wine pairing prices are per person from the official menu: five-course pairings Classic £117 / Fine £221 / Prestige £700; seven-course pairings Classic £140 / Fine £254 / Prestige £750.

À la carte dinner — a realistic example

The Ritz publishes no fixed-price dinner; this example uses official à la carte prices (August 2025) for a typical three-course dinner — starter, main, dessert:

Course Example dish Official price
Starter Langoustine à la nage £55
Main Cornish turbot "Ton sur Ton" £85
Dessert Ritz chocolate soufflé £27
Food subtotal £167
+ 12.5% service charge ≈ £187.88
Friday/Saturday: + £58 entertainment ≈ £253.13

A lighter à la carte dinner (pea velouté £40 + Suffolk lamb £65 + dessert £27 = £132) comes to about £148.50 with service. Add wine, water, and coffee on top — none is included in these figures.

Afternoon tea

From the official Ritz page (October 2026): from £95 per adult, £73 per child. Champagne and other upgrades cost more — the official page lists starting prices, so confirm the full tariff when booking. Note: the 12.5% service charge is disclosed on the restaurant menu; the afternoon tea page does not state a service charge, so ask at booking if you want the exact total.

Charges people miss

  • 12.5% discretionary service charge — added to the restaurant bill (official menu, August 2025).
  • £58 per person entertainment charge — Friday and Saturday evenings, on à la carte and Epicurean menus (official restaurant page, October 2026).
  • Tableside dishes serve two — the £150–£170 Arts de la Table prices (Dover sole, Beef Wellington) cover two guests, not one.
  • VAT is included in all listed prices — the figures above are what you see before the service charge.

About these prices

Menu prices and the 12.5% service charge come from the official Ritz restaurant menu (PDF, August 2025); afternoon tea prices from the official Ritz page (October 2026). The "realistic totals" are our arithmetic on those official figures — not quotes from the hotel. Menus and prices change; always verify with the hotel before visiting.
