Taking place from Thursday 15 to Saturday 17 October at Restaurant Story on Tooley Street, London Bridge, the collaboration will bring together Achatz with Restaurant Story chef Tom Sellers and executive chef Tom Phillips for a 14-course tasting menu. <\/p>\n
The menu is being created jointly by the three chefs and will combine elements of the two restaurants\u2019 approaches to cooking and presentation. Restaurant Story says the menu will be created specifically for the three-night event and will not be repeated. <\/p>\n
A bespoke wine pairing is also being developed by Restaurant Story group beverage manager Carolina W. Seibel, with the restaurant saying it will draw on dates and events connected to the three chefs. <\/p>\n
The communal table experience is priced at \u00a3525 per person. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a dream collaboration for us,\u201d says Phillips. <\/p>\n
\u201cGrant is someone I\u2019ve admired for years – his approach to storytelling through food has shaped so much of how we think about menus at Restaurant Story. <\/p>\n
\u201cBringing Alinea to London Bridge is something really special, and I can\u2019t wait for our guests to experience what we\u2019ve created together.\u201d <\/p>\n
Achatz adds: \u201cRestaurant Story is built around creativity, narrative and a strong sense of identity. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring our teams together in London and see what happens when those ideas intersect.\u201d <\/p>\n
Alinea, which was founded in Chicago in 2005 by Achatz, previously held three Michelin stars since the guide\u2019s inaugural edition in 2011, but was downgraded to two stars in 2025. The restaurant is known for its modernist and multi-sensory approach to fine dining. <\/p>\n
Restaurant Story, founded by Tom Sellers in 2013, also holds two Michelin stars. The London restaurant is part of Sellers\u2019 HiStory Hospitality group, which also includes Story Cellar, MOR in Cornwall, The Penn at Stoke Park and Gwyn\u2019s Bakery.<\/p>\n
Restaurant Story is also running a competition linked to the collaboration, offering a table for four on the final night. According to the restaurant\u2019s announcement, entrants must purchase a limited-edition Restaurant Story x Alinea T-shirt and correctly answer a skill-based question. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
