The chefs, whose restaurants collectively hold seven Michelin stars, will introduce new dining concepts for Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts in central London.

Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch has announced its signature restaurants, Coreus by Clare Smyth and Café Boulud by Daniel Boulud, scheduled to open in 2026. The chefs, whose restaurants collectively hold seven Michelin stars, will introduce new dining concepts for Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts in central London.

Smyth will also introduce her Whiskey & Seaweed bar concept to the property, offering a selection of whiskies from UK distilleries, along with cocktails and a curated wine list.

Café Boulud

Café Boulud marks Chef Boulud’s return to London. The all-day restaurant will offer breakfast, afternoon tea, and lunch and dinner menus based on dishes from his existing Café Boulud locations.
