As a Michelin-rated restaurant, it offered seasonally inspired modern French haute cuisine with regularly changing menus which took in a wide range on influences, not least Head Chef Joo Won's Korean heritage, while retaining its focus on classical French techniques. It also offers traditional Sunday lunches and hosts regular wine dinners and tastings which draw on global cuisines and bring experts in the field to the restaurant on a regular basis.
The senior team at Galvin at Windows remained consistent from launch to December 2019, a remarkable feat for a London restaurant. Original General Manager Fred Sirieix - who is also a writer, broadcaster and charity activist - left in December 2019.[4]
The bar at Galvin at Windows offers a wide range of premium wines, spirits and classic cocktails while also having a seasonally changing menu of special drinks and a light, more relaxed food menu.
The restaurant is known for its panoramic views onto Hyde Park facing west and across central London to the north and south, while the bar looks across central London to the north, east and south.[citation needed]
London Hilton on Park Lane announced in April 2024 that Galvin at Windows will be closing later that month. [5]
