Anyone have any experience of any of these places? Recommendations? I've never even been to a 1 Michelin star place, but it's for a special occasion and well, why not!

Date wise I'm looking at the 6th July and it seems like a lot of these restaurants are closed over the weekend.

Favourite so far was Le Cinq, but slightly put off by Jay Rayner's savage review and the fact I'd need to wear a suit jacket for the meal. Is this common place or just due to Le Cinq's setting? (Hotel George V). Would either have to borrow a house jacket or somehow bring my suit on the plane.

It depends on the place - Some do insist on a proper suit for lunch and full-on dinner jacket/tuxedo for dinner... Others simply say smart-casual, which can include jeans if done well enough. Generally, smart trousers, a collared shirt and a nice pullover (if it's cold enough) will be fine.

Some of the swankiest places around really don't care, as you're there because you have class and taste... which also means you don't need to flaunt it. I like these places!
Others insist, as you're there because you've got money and are going somewhere swanky to flaunt it.

Indeed - Was hoping to see if anyone knew of which were a bit more relaxed.

Obviously would be planning to be dressed up, just not in a full on suit.
 
In the end, I booked Le Cinq due to various factors. Many of the other restaurants were not open over the weekend as well. We're going in just over 2 weeks, so ill update to let you know how we got on!
