Where to Find Celebrity-Owned Restaurants in London

While the public appetite for everything celebrity is rampant around the world, London is home to many celebrity-owned restaurants. Many might be considered vanity projects of the stars, but you'll still find a handful of worthwhile hotspots to enjoy--or simply observe from afar. From comfort food to an upscale diner's fare, it's interesting to note which celebrity has joined forces with gourmet chefs and rising stars to create the newest weekend escape. Here's where you'll find the leading celebrity-owned restaurants in London:

The Harrington Club is a trendy South Kensington bar and restaurant that also offers beauty treatments at its members-only venue. The restaurant was founded by Jo and Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, and has become popular for its organic menu and stylish but casual atmosphere. This place isn't for the average diner; you'll need a formal invitation and identification to enter the forest green doors here. The Harrington is located at 38 Harrington Road in London.

The minimalist setting and understated elegance of Teatro are hard to spot at 93 Shaftesbury Avenue. Lee Chapman and Leslie Ash co-own this popular venue for the celebrity crowd, and private parties are common here. The members-only bar next door has become a coveted spot for pre-dinner theatre cocktails, and you'll need to make reservations as early as possible. Exceptional food and a wide selection of cocktails await; be sure to try the Barbary duck breast or artichoke ravioli from the main course menu, and indulge in the white and milk chocolate trifle for dessert. Call 0871 4260220 for reservations.

Famous chef Jamie Oliver has brought Fifteen to life through his popular television series, and this classy restaurant continues to serve some of the best menus in the area. You can choose from two floors to enjoy lunch or dinner, seven days per week. The menu changes daily, with both set menus and a la carte pricing. A tasting menu is also available to enjoy a variety of Fifteen favorites, and you'll definitely want to try the Fisherman's Stew when it's available. Call 0871 330 1515 for your reservation.
