The chef de cuisine here is Francesco Dibenedetto, who was formerly head chef of Bibendum for over six years. Tables are large and well-spaced and the room has plenty of natural light.
The dining room is quite striking, with a ceiling dominated by a metal sculpture designed to evoke the Concorde. The restaurant, associated with Claude Bosi of Bibendum, has terraced seating in the open air next to the main dining room, with a fine view out over the city. Part of the Concorde aeroplanes were constructed at the Brooklands site. This was the site of the initial meeting between the British and French aircraft industries that later spawned the Concorde supersonic jetliner. The Brooklands name is taken from the Surrey motor racing track that also is associated with flight innovation.
Brooklands is on the 8 th floor of the Peninsula Hotel on Hyde Park Corner.
