New Luxury Hotel Seaton House to Open in February

The new luxury Seaton House hotel in St Andrews will open in February 2025, featuring restaurants including the renowned Ondine Oyster & Grill, which specializes in seafood and shellfish. Ondine, currently an Edinburgh institution, is relocating to the hotel to provide a consistent dining experience amidst ongoing façade works at its current location. The hotel will also have a second restaurant called The Board Room, offering a cozy setting for sharing light bites. In London, several establishments are enhancing their private dining offerings for festive events, with Metropolitan Pub Company's new three-course Christmas menu priced at £42 per person. Additionally, the trend of chef's tables in London restaurants, like Gordon Ramsay's Petrus and Kioku by Endo, provides diners with an intimate look at culinary artistry. Meanwhile, Ireland's dining scene boasts Michelin-starred venues like Chapter One and D’Olier Street, celebrated for their exquisite cuisine and unique dining experiences.
