About the Restaurant
The Stage Is British – Inside Frog by Adam Handling
Frog by Adam Handling is more than a restaurant — it’s a culinary performance staged at the epicenter of British gastronomy. Located in London’s Covent Garden, this Michelin-starred flagship of the Adam Handling Collection offers an immersive tasting experience that blends bold British flavors, sustainability, and theatre.
The dining room holds just 37 covers, with an open-plan kitchen that invites guests into the artistry behind every course. Chef Handling’s philosophy — British food, inspired by London — is expressed through every element, from foraged ingredients to nostalgic cocktails at the subterranean Eve Bar, where each drink is crafted in their lab around a single ingredient.
Each plate is a statement. At Frog, a cod dish isn’t just cod — it’s line-caught from Newlyn, aged in seaweed, steamed with horseradish, and plated with grapes. The “Chicken Sandwich” is part of the Bread & Chicken Butter course — a playful nod to comfort food, reimagined with layered technique. The sandwich stands alongside Earl Grey IPA sourdough, a silky liver parfait, and whipped chicken butter, each element crafted with precision and purpose.
The restaurant has earned accolades including:
1 Michelin Star
No. 40 in Estrella Damm’s UK Top 100 Restaurants
Best Designed Wine List – Europe (World’s Best Wine Lists 2024)
This is where luxury dining becomes accessible, experimental, and deeply rooted in purpose — and why it stands as a standout in the All4Chefs Spring Menu Challenge 2025.
